Racca Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 when we are young we think we are bullet proof.. till we get old and then we wonder why we did all that stupid stuff. chris. I am bullet proof...... When I'm not around guns. LOL. Nice job on the knife and the sheath. I have heard that those who celebrate life walk safely amongst the wild animals. When they go into battle, they remain unharmed, the animals find no place to attack them and weapons are unable to harm them. Why? Because they find no place for death in them.

Rich A. Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Nice knife. Beautiful sheath. Both of you are very talented. All kids hate to be told that they cant. They dont understand that tho the pain has lessend of is gone that the body is still healing and not up to full strength. This is from a 28 year old who has broken more bones than a crash test dummy. My favorite is the wrist socket that now has floatting bones, fun at a party, but gets sore it I dont wrap it before forging. That happened when I cut my cast of to wrestle in the championship when I was 12... Time doesnt heal everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hoffman Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yup, We grow too soon old and too late smart. Still missing bits and pieces from when I was younger and a whole lot dumber. Best wishes to Darcy, she seems like a good, tough kid. She will forgive you, but it'll take a while. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
