Okay, I messed up!
I enrered a pic here and I've been bragging all over the place that I own an Ed Fowler "Pronhorn". Well I get my Letter or Authentication from Ed & Angie Fowler, and what does it say? "The model you have chosen is called the Long Yearling." The Long Yearling???? I never heard of it and now I own one and not a Pronghorn. Don't get me wrong. I love my knife, but it does mean I've got to go back and make some corrections. So I figure why not turn this into a short tutorial on how I make corrections on my pics. I think it's self explanitory. Original photo and concept by Giorgio Terdina. |

Phil, Our lunch has created quite a free exchange of ideas and that is exactly the purpose of the Forum. Guess we'll have to do it again! |

Wow Phil - that's a cool pic! I gotta hand it to ya - every one of your pictures really tells a story. If "a picture is worth a thousand words" a PhilL picture is worth 10,000. Thanks for sharing. |

Okay, I messed up when I said I messed up. Luckily Ed Fowler sent me an e-mail to get it all straight. "Hi Phil: All my knives are pronghorns, except for the bowies and some others, Your Pronghorn is a long yearling Pronghorn. If it had grown older before I harvested it it could be an adult pronghorn, had it grown longer it would be a long Pronghorn. or if I had harvested it a 18 months earlier it would have been a fawn. Had it grown to one of the big boys it could have been a short camp or a camp. The last two names don't fit, but make it simpler for folks who want to order something in particular. Folks want to see a name on a type of knife, what the heck they are all knives. The species of knives I make are named after one of my favorites of natures realm, the Wyo. Antelope or what are generally known as Pronghorns. Look at a herd of them and at first they all look alike, study them for a few days and you discover special characteristics, each an unique individual, all guided by a Darwinian process, similar but still individuals. One of Angies and my arguments goes like this: What is this knife? A pronghorn No its too short. A yearling No it is still too short OK call it a fawn The handle is too long. Call it a long handled fawn. silence--------" Ed Thanks Ed, it's all clear now, |
