Tia, I'll have to disagree with you on that. There comes a time in life when looking good is not an option, being still alive and looking like crap is a plus after a certain age. I haven't reached that stage yet, I've only reached the half crap stage. Thats when people only turn there heads half way to look at you.
In the little boy picture, is that a knife in you hand? Sure looks like it. Tell us somemore about the picture of you and the power hammer.....

OOPS! I was getting tired and my fingers went dyslexic! It was Blade Mag 1988. I'll scan the whole article and post it ASAP.
I agree with Raymond in part at least. If I could feel even half as good as I look at this point, which still wouldn't be all that great, I'd trade in a NY minute (where did that term come from???) __________________ Chuck Burrows Hand Crafted Leather & Frontier Knives dba Wild Rose Trading Co Durango, CO chuck@wrtcleather.com www.wrtcleather.com The beautiful sheaths created for storing the knife elevate the knife one step higher.

That's me with a rubber knife, robot and hammer on a Christmas morning.
That other one is me at 27 with my Nazel 3B. Here's the true me.

Tai apparently you also follow Phyllis Diller's dictum "WHEN YOU"VE GOT IT FLAUNT IT!"
Here is the whole Blade mag article and another little blurb from Knives Illustrated Summer 1987     In my book that last paragraph in the first article pretty well sums up Tai, a true master.
