it's fan boy madness. The slavering and gasping is almost more than I can take. All these folks do with the Turley knives, is take pictures of them, and show them on that forum. I am guessing that if they showed them anywhere else, they would be laughed out of town.
I originally was going to offer the Argandhab with the custom J leather neck sheath pictured after this auction for a starting bid of 500.00 and a buy-it-now for 650.00. If this auction hits 2000.00 or above I will offer that knife for an additional 300.00 if the winner is interested. Thanks to all who are participating in any way they are able! Auction Turley Branch prototype ends Aug 11th 10:00 est
5/32" 1095, 1/2 height grind, osage orange scales, black micarta pins, black G10 liners, one of only 2 full tang Turley Branch's made.
Custom J leather sheath that was specifically made for knife and for the Turley Argandhab pictured here that will also available for sale after this one ends. Will give the winner of this auction first dibbs on it. The smaller pouch will fit similar sized blade. It also comes with the separate pouch sheath pictured.
Starting bid needs to be 550.00 or it stays in my drawer. Includes USPS priority shipping CONUS and insurance.
From the little that I've seen so far, the highest was the Green River with Bethlehem olive wood scales at $2950. The second highest is probably the same knife at $2000 gone to Randy. This one is probably in the top 5 by now, and gunning for 2nd. :3:
What a rush watching this one go! And I'm just an audience!
Those bushwhackers are an odd cult. Harmless but odd.
Mostly city boys camping in their backyards.

It's a straight up auction for profit of a knife and someone is going to pay damned near $2k to get it. Of course, another one of those knives it looks like sold for a hair under $3k.
Utter insanity.
Here's what all the fuss is about, if you can figure it out:
None of those knives sell for more than about $600, when they are available. Availability is the catch, though.

I don't want to wait, how can I get a knife now?
There's a few ways around the wait list.
1. You have to be in the military and be deploying in the very near future.
(see military requirements above) inserted below for ease of discussion

Military goes to the front of the list.
Depending on a few qualifications:
Any and all branches welcome.
First thing is you have to have a combat arms m.o.s. (job).
Secondly you have to be deploying in the near future or currently deployed to the combat zone.
**Pilots and crew members of fixed or rotary wing aircraft are the exception to the above requirements. If you are a military pilot of any kind or crew member you can go to the front of the list whether you are deploying or not.**
Thirdly I need a scan of your i.d. card with name, branch of service and expiration date. All the rest of the info should be blacked out. (If you are deployed and can't get to a scanner then I will take an email from you official email address as proof instead.)
Lastly send me a unit patch or crest from the unit you are with now. (if your unit doesn't wear patches or crests don't worry about this last requirement) I have a patch jacket that I sew on the patches of all the military personnel who buy a knife from me. I'd be honored to add yours.
If you fit these requirements do not hesitate to contact me, I will put you in the first available batch of knives that I can. Usually that means only about a month or less of waiting.
To those who don't meet those qualifications please understand that I value all of you and your service to our nation. I have to limit who goes to the front though since the wait list is so long. By doing this I hope to get knives in the hands of the individuals who need them the most at this time.
Thanks a ton for understanding. God bless and keep you all.
2. You sign up for a free membership on this site and get a chance at any extra knives I put up in the store. You have to be quick though, they usually go within an hour of being put up.
2b. If you sign up for a free membership I occasionally will send out an email notifying the membership of an auction. I do it that way sometimes because I have people who want a better chance at a knife then they usually get when a knife goes up in the store and they don't mind paying more.
3. Join the Turley Knife club. (See the link on the left side of the page). By doing so you'll get a few chances a year to buy a knife outright without having to wait and you'll also possibly get a chance to win one for free. There are other benefits to joining the club also.
The dude may very well make killer knives. He has, without a doubt, developed a cult following.

well, I guess I am in trouble over there now. Someone posted all of this tongue in cheek fun in the subforum about that knife maker. 12 pages so far, of displeasure. I feel like that 'coon in the Jerry Clower skit, being knocked out of the tree, and into the swirling, clashing, snapping pack of dogs down below.
I was out of line saying this. I have never MF another knife makers work. I looked at the guy web-site this morning . I don't know him never heard of him but it looks like he does make great knives. I'm sorry for what I said. However the people who are paying that kind of money are nut jobs or Buddies.
LOL,,,,, it would appear that internet forum hypocrisy isn't exclusive to the fire.
The same bushwackers whose feelers were hurt by being talked about "behind their backs" on another site currently have a thread going that's bashing Paul Dobbins/Trapperman.com for trying to protect his site from anti's. Apparently a bunch of yankees who's biggest outdoor feat is starting a fire in their back yard without matches aren't aware of the hostilities and attacks trappers have to deal with on a daily basis. It's in the hunting, fishing, gathering forum.
it's fan boy madness. The slavering and gasping is almost more than I can take. All these folks do with the Turley knives, is take pictures of them, and show them on that forum. I am guessing that if they showed them anywhere else, they would be laughed out of town.
Ha... I am a member of both this forum and the "other" forum. Not sure what your insinuating with this comment? Anyone who frequents the other forum can easily see that you post quite a bit in the "Edged Tools" section and also post quite a few photos of your knives.
You also made a post on 8/4 regarding the Turley that was being sold:
"should raise a lot of cash. Heck, one Turley or AS could bring in a couple thousand by itself."
A bit two faced..? I think so...
Then on other forums that you frequent you also call out Turley knives:

No.. Not at all. I have been around a while. Learn a lot from this forum and others just reading when I can. No need to run up my post count to the 10's of thousands to justify myself to you or anyone else.
Just unfortunate that keyboard cowboys sit in the confines of their houses and badmouth others on forums. Simply calling someone on their BS as they stroke their ego to get the applause of their peers. Childish at best.
Speaking of "Fanboys", you are the one that has Mannlicher's quote as your signature and come to his immediate defense when someone like me calls him out on his two-faced BS... Enough said.

Sam's quote expresses best what I've thought for years. I could have put it up without attribute. That'd have been dishonest. Sam is also a friend. Big difference between that and a circle jerk over an overpriced and never-to-be-used knife by a group of backyard commandoes.
You needn't justify yourself, nor does anyone else. What you are, and aren't, is readily apparent as is the sand in your kchunt. Your first post is to whine about people laughing at fan boy backyard commandoes overpaying for a blade; and you're questioning anyone else as to motive and honesty? Congratulations, you made douche level in record time. Stick around, as you can only one up your own level of ineptitude, imagine, and pretend by going for broke by "showing us how it's" done by rubbing sticks together in the backyard to get off fanboys via video circle jerk. No doubt, you're a f'king pro there.
When the fan boy comes back, likely after taking direction from the "pure site", perhaps he can fill us in on the rampant hypocrisy of the butt hurt there, as they lap it up on a site put on by a jackass that held a little "camp out" where he intentionally targeted other sites for ridicule and pledged to put them out of business by pulling the dick move of trade-marking "bushcraft" as if it was something he came up with and first used. If the backyard commando can get past that, he'll have no problem with the "thank" worship there, since he whines about post count here and says nothing about the "thank" mafia there. This won't even begin to touch on the abject hypocrisy of the "moderators" who say whatever to whomever they choose, then invent rules and violations as they go when someone calls them on it or says something that might dare criticize their omnipotence.
Yeah, that site's well known...
Carry on, fan boy.

Wow.. Thanks for the warm welcome! Great group of people over here.
My first post was not to whine about anything but to question your friend's integrity. Yes, I am questioning motive and honesty. Your friend seems to have a different face on the other forum and comes over here to get an applause from shoe shiners and back scratchers like you. He has a couple thousand posts over on the other site, so, by default, you must also be calling your friend a "circle jerking backyard commando" lol (how long did it take you to come up with that one anyway?). After all, he did comment on the the Turley for sale thread over there. Sooooo.....
Speaking of the "backyard commandos" or in your case, keyboard commandos... Looks like you have pretty busy in the woods since you joined in 2011 huh? Only 11,500 posts in 4 years? Come on, you can do better than that. Hey, maybe you can make 12,000 by next week if you continue to stay up all night insulting others with every keystroke you can muster! You really can't have much to contribute when you sit behind a keyboard that often. Just sayin'. Looks like you won the post count contest as well. By default, you have the authority to cast judgement on anyone who doesn't have as many meaningless posts as you do. Isn't that how it works? Seemingly, you're like an Olympic swimmer that has never been in a pool. I am sure you can "tell" everyone how its done while sitting in your giant throne, looking through bifocals at your extra large computer monitor. You win.. I guess.
So I have an idea.. How about you let your dear friend step in and explain himself, and his alter ego over on the circle jerk forum. Like a disgruntled housewife angry with her cheating husband are you upset because "he" has been "posting" on the circle jerk forum all this time without your knowing? I am sorry. I promise, I wont tell anyone.

Oh, I've no doubt Sam will be along. I've no doubt you're well versed in circle jerks and your fascination with his sex life (or mine) is more than a little telling. You go, girl! No doubt you're in the front of the line to be one of the "new generation" BSA troop reasons, if only for all the obvious stick-rubbing, fire-making reasons...
As for what I do outside; it's quite a bit. Hunt, hike, camp, fish, shoot. Combined, probably 60-75 days afield per year; on top of a full time job and a strong family and home life.
I just don't feel the need to post it in pursuit of backyard merit badges.
Here's a taste of just one upcoming trip: headed to CO in Oct for 2 weeks at up to 12k feet chasing elk; backpacking into and out of a wilderness area. Reckon that might rate even a "thanks" from the backyard squad? Not that they'll be there, and that's the point. Hell, I might even spark a fire with flint and steel and there will certainly be cooking. Fancy all those "vids" and "attaboys" such a trip could produce, if one kowtowed to the right moderator? The mind boggles...
I did notice that you ran from an defense of the hypocrisy of your fan boy sites and said "leaders". Only play you had, really. Kudos.

I get annoyed at the Mod's behavior there and most other sites, as RB's largely hands-off style here will spoil you.
As far as the fan boys go, EVERY forum has 'em.
BCUSA members blow piles of cash ESEE knives, $150 Ti canteens, and these custom knives being fought about. It's not my money, so I don't care how much they pay or whether they use 'em or just stroke them with oil in a dimly lit room.
I've blown an equal amount of money on production knives from KaBar, Buck, OKC, Case, Mora and Condor. Some of them get flogged, and some will live out their lives in their original boxes to be opened and abused someday when I'm gone. My money, knives, and choice.
The Campfire crowd loves McSwirly stocks in crazy color combos, and Gene Ingram knives, and based on post counts/views-------- the .223AI.
I'm hot and cranky this time of year also, and currently watching my friggin' county burn to the ground. But I don't see the point in fist fighting over these overpriced knives when we should be talking each other into buying more knives.

Seen folks here laugh at themselves and each other over being "fan boys", even when made fun of elsewhere.
There MIGHT be a point there, if one can catch it.
Though, I think I'll PM Rick about trademarking "campfire", "fire", and "24hour". He'll make a fortune whilst putting other sites out of business if they dare discuss how they cook a camp meal, or what kind of kit they have for burning wood for heat and light.

Yeah, that trademark BS is almost enough to make me leave. It'd been so long between signing up and my second visit that I had to email to get my account unfrozen last spring.
If anyone could claim the Bushcraft name it's probably the Limeys. Every good 'merican I know simply calls them woods skills, outdoors skills or knowledge, or more likely nothing at all.........simply the stuff everyone should know to keep from dying.
I grew up doing 4H and FFA, so I missed out on all the BSA trips the city kids did, and was more than a little jealous at the time. I've since self-educated, and am passing it all along to my almost 4yr old who warms my heart every time he says "you need your knife for that dad," but I get the appeal of playing backyard commando because I did it growing up, and still enjoy a trip to the mountains for a meal and coffee over a campfire when it'd be three times faster to cook with a gas stove or just stay home. Anyway, I'm rambling......

Sam is nowhere to be found.. Sad that you have to defend him and his alter ego. Maybe you guys can talk tonight over a glass of Merlot and some cheese. Or rather, you could PM him with notification that he is being picked on but worry not, you have his back! lol
Didn't ask for your resume'. Don't really care. Only play you had was to post your credentials so that everyone reading will never question you or your commitment to the wilderness. So really, you weren't looking for merit badges, but, what the heck, i'll will give you one anyway. lol. Well played.. As if anyone really gives a Sh**.
Amazing that you have the time to generate 11,500 posts in 4 years while juggling family life, life afield, and your full time job. Possibly posting a bit too much at work? The American way! Way to be a productive part of the workforce. Probably why China is taking over. Thanks for contributing! Good on ya.
I also didn't ask for your upcoming trip itinerary. Sadly, playing big game hunter on your computer doesn't count. Might not want to put that one on your resume. Sounds like fun though.
In closing, I am not defending anyone, or any particular web forum, knife, gun, equipment etc. Just found it kinda crappy that Sam is over rubbing shoulders with all the "backyard commandos" and then comes over here and badmouths them. Kinda hypocritical IMO. To each their own. Not to worry though, you are here to defend him and his comments. I am sure he really appreciates it! Have a good weekend. Don't type to much, you might loose the dexterity in your trigger finger and not be able to go on that hunting trip with all your super-outdoorsy forum buddies like Sam.

Thanks 222Rem. At least you get it and don't automatically start throwing insults around and telling me I have "sand in my ****". I too have spent quite a bit of coin on rifles, Axes, Knives and general outdoor gear. I think any like-minded person appreciates quality (especially in today's society where nearly everything is manufactured in China or the far east) does the same. Some are collectors, some have money to burn, and yet others like to spend $$ for quality american made craftsmanship.
I am a huge fan of Meindl Boots and even have had them shipped from Germany at a high cost. Cabelas is the only US distributor and has "cabelas specific" versions of the boots yet do not stock other models the manufacturer offers. Does that make me a fan boy or just someone that likes quality gear?
Anyway, thanks for adding a bit of civility to this thread. I appreciate it. Have a good weekend sir.

ha ha ha ha!! Mr. Big talker (4ager) was also part of the same forum that he loves to hate... All your BS and hatred for the "circle jerking backyard commandos" over on the "other site" and look what I found.
2/23/2014 4ager "I recently got "approval" from the "CFO" aka, the wife, or SWMNBD (she-who-must-not-be-denied) for another CO elk hunt trip next fall (2015) and two of my good buddies are both now "in" for the trip.
Going to the same place as before, and with what I learned from the last time, this one should be much easier.
It'll be a first trip for each of the other two going, but I've hunted elsewhere with both of them before; better partners on a trip, you'd be hard pressed to find.
Time for some gear upgrades…."
Ridiculous... the amount of BS someone can sling in this thread. Only to find out that Mr. insult has over 700 forum posts on "the other site".. Poor guy.. Cant decide which team he wants to be on... the "Circle jerk backyard commando team", or the "hey I have 11,000 posts so I must be respected by my peers" team.
You must have 2 a-holes because you really do discharge a ton of BS..

Yep, I used to be there. 'Tis how I know about the place. That hypocrisy runs deep. Damn near a dead lock that this thread is linked over there, likely in the "do as we say, not as we do; and pay us $35/year" private forum so the said same butt hurt commandoes can feel superior whilst doing exactly what they are butt hurt about others doing. The only reason I commented on this thread at all is because I knew exactly what would happen; that the fan boys would find a patsy and send him over to whine and bitch, whilst they fed him any info at all on folks who do or used to post there. Typical, not surprising, and damned predictable; like a bunch of tweener little girls who had someone say a negative thing about their version of Justin Beiber, and the similarity is striking.
Don't get me wrong; there are some great folks over there and a bunch that know a schit ton. Matt Paul is one hell of a bladesmith, as is Iz Turley. Croatoan is a very good fellow and knows what he's doing. There are quite a few more, and fortunately most of those can be followed or contacted outside of that forum. Those folks also have a sense of humor and don't get all bent out of shape if someone disagrees with them or thinks that spending $2k on a never-to-be-used "bushcraft" knife is nuts. With them, no one has a beef. If the cliquish and chickish "leadership" that stays butt hurt about anyone not doing it their way and as they say? Well, you get threads like this where they can't stand even a little criticism.
I got called out by a "moderator" when another "moderator" got his Mangina sandy over me using the term "damnyankee" to describe the area I was fortunate enough to be moving out of. Now, hazard the butt hurt "moderator" can and does call anyone anything he chooses (before he locks threads to prevent a retort).
That, coupled with an absolutely douchebag move by the site owner of trademarking "bushcraft" had me say "adios". Odd that one can have such a "disagreement" here, but woe be unto one that "disagrees" with a moderator ("Brother", as they call each other as if it means something) there. Dissent is not allowed; even if one follows the rules - as they make schit up as they go, if only obviously.
Hell, you can't even joke about the insanity of dropping $2k on a damned knife (that has never been and will never be used). Do so, and you're banished. The feelers get hurt so badly that even if said insanity is made fun of elsewhere, the fan boys will rush in to defend "their honor". This thread is a prime example. Zero humor, zero tolerance, and zero consistency. Add that to a douchebag owner, and an army of backyard commandoes and you get Michigunner and the rest. Such an "awesome" place to hang out, as evidenced. The fact the little shill referred to it as "what team you're on" only further reinforced this. Disagree with them at all, and "you're not on our team" as they stomp their feet and call in the cheerleaders to nag and whine and take up for them. This was a known prior to making a post on this thread, and they didn't disappoint as to the response. Way to go, girls!
Let's not forget the "moderators" who ban vendors of handmade items over there for "mystery infractions" then turn right around a short time later making and selling essentially the same thing that the banned fella was producing. Naw, that ain't suspicious as at all...
Good to know that the "moderators" there have found a shill to whom they feed info so he can carry his fan boy ass over here. Typical of the sort, and no doubt all manner of "thanks" being bestowed there as we type.
Carry on, as if only to further prove your douche status and your know-nothing; do-nothing ass as merely a mouthpiece for the butt hurt legions of backyard commando "moderators".
You still ran like their bitch from facts about their "leadership", and got pinked when accusing me of doing little/nothing. Still the only plays you had. Do continue, though, as it will get funner by the post.

I have an idea. Lets all just walk away from this thread. Yeah, I read up to here, but I am done with it. We used to see more of this crap in the past, but been blessed with very little for quite a while.
I got involved with mud slinging at a knife forum years ago when I went there looking for some info on a knife, I suggested they ban me, they did, I have never been back there and good with that. I like this site, and hope we can keep it mostly positive. Everyone can get riled up once in a while, but it would be nice to get back to civilized on a timely basis. jmho Tim

I got involved with mud slinging at a knife forum years ago when I went there looking for some info on a knife, I suggested they ban me, they did, I have never been back there and good with that. I like this site, and hope we can keep it mostly positive. Everyone can get riled up once in a while, but it would be nice to get back to civilized on a timely basis. jmho Tim
Good thought, and good words, Tim.
Time to go do something outside with the family (might even rate a "badge"...), and get back to reality.

it's fan boy madness. The slavering and gasping is almost more than I can take. All these folks do with the Turley knives, is take pictures of them, and show them on that forum. I am guessing that if they showed them anywhere else, they would be laughed out of town.
Ha... I am a member of both this forum and the "other" forum. Not sure what your insinuating with this comment? Anyone who frequents the other forum can easily see that you post quite a bit in the "Edged Tools" section and also post quite a few photos of your knives.
You also made a post on 8/4 regarding the Turley that was being sold:
"should raise a lot of cash. Heck, one Turley or AS could bring in a couple thousand by itself."
A bit two faced..? I think so...
Then on other forums that you frequent you also call out Turley knives:
ha ha ha ha!! Mr. Big talker (4ager) was also part of the same forum that he loves to hate... All your BS and hatred for the "circle jerking backyard commandos" over on the "other site" and look what I found.
2/23/2014 4ager "I recently got "approval" from the "CFO" aka, the wife, or SWMNBD (she-who-must-not-be-denied) for another CO elk hunt trip next fall (2015) and two of my good buddies are both now "in" for the trip.
Going to the same place as before, and with what I learned from the last time, this one should be much easier.
It'll be a first trip for each of the other two going, but I've hunted elsewhere with both of them before; better partners on a trip, you'd be hard pressed to find.
Time for some gear upgrades…."
Ridiculous... the amount of BS someone can sling in this thread. Only to find out that Mr. insult has over 700 forum posts on "the other site".. Poor guy.. Cant decide which team he wants to be on... the "Circle jerk backyard commando team", or the "hey I have 11,000 posts so I must be respected by my peers" team.
You must have 2 a-holes because you really do discharge a ton of BS..
Yep, I used to be there. 'Tis how I know about the place. That hypocrisy runs deep. Damn near a dead lock that this thread is linked over there, likely in the "do as we say, not as we do; and pay us $35/year" private forum so the said same butt hurt commandoes can feel superior whilst doing exactly what they are butt hurt about others doing. The only reason I commented on this thread at all is because I knew exactly what would happen; that the fan boys would find a patsy and send him over to whine and bitch, whilst they fed him any info at all on folks who do or used to post there. Typical, not surprising, and damned predictable; like a bunch of tweener little girls who had someone say a negative thing about their version of Justin Beiber, and the similarity is striking.
Don't get me wrong; there are some great folks over there and a bunch that know a schit ton. Matt Paul is one hell of a bladesmith, as is Iz Turley. Croatoan is a very good fellow and knows what he's doing. There are quite a few more, and fortunately most of those can be followed or contacted outside of that forum. Those folks also have a sense of humor and don't get all bent out of shape if someone disagrees with them or thinks that spending $2k on a never-to-be-used "bushcraft" knife is nuts. With them, no one has a beef. If the cliquish and chickish "leadership" that stays butt hurt about anyone not doing it their way and as they say? Well, you get threads like this where they can't stand even a little criticism.
I got called out by a "moderator" when another "moderator" got his Mangina sandy over me using the term "damnyankee" to describe the area I was fortunate enough to be moving out of. Now, hazard the butt hurt "moderator" can and does call anyone anything he chooses (before he locks threads to prevent a retort).
That, coupled with an absolutely douchebag move by the site owner of trademarking "bushcraft" had me say "adios". Odd that one can have such a "disagreement" here, but woe be unto one that "disagrees" with a moderator ("Brother", as they call each other as if it means something) there. Dissent is not allowed; even if one follows the rules - as they make schit up as they go, if only obviously.
Hell, you can't even joke about the insanity of dropping $2k on a damned knife (that has never been and will never be used). Do so, and you're banished. The feelers get hurt so badly that even if said insanity is made fun of elsewhere, the fan boys will rush in to defend "their honor". This thread is a prime example. Zero humor, zero tolerance, and zero consistency. Add that to a douchebag owner, and an army of backyard commandoes and you get Michigunner and the rest. Such an "awesome" place to hang out, as evidenced. The fact the little shill referred to it as "what team you're on" only further reinforced this. Disagree with them at all, and "you're not on our team" as they stomp their feet and call in the cheerleaders to nag and whine and take up for them. This was a known prior to making a post on this thread, and they didn't disappoint as to the response. Way to go, girls!
Let's not forget the "moderators" who ban vendors of handmade items over there for "mystery infractions" then turn right around a short time later making and selling essentially the same thing that the banned fella was producing. Naw, that ain't suspicious as at all...
Good to know that the "moderators" there have found a shill to whom they feed info so he can carry his fan boy ass over here. Typical of the sort, and no doubt all manner of "thanks" being bestowed there as we type.
Carry on, as if only to further prove your douche status and your know-nothing; do-nothing ass as merely a mouthpiece for the butt hurt legions of backyard commando "moderators".
You still ran like their bitch from facts about their "leadership", and got pinked when accusing me of doing little/nothing. Still the only plays you had. Do continue, though, as it will get funner by the post.
Your witty reply is nothing but back peddling! I was expecting something other than a dissertation about how bad the mods suck over there or how great you think Iz Turley is. Funny you didn't think that a few posts back.
Your current post reads like this: 1st paragraph - apology and explanation 2nd paragraph - Ass kiss a few guys on the other site 3rd paragraph through 8th paragraph - Bitch and complain about the moderators, how bad you were butt hurt by their behavior etc etc..
Again, I am not defending any one website (I am a member of a few) just pointing out a bunch of BS by someone who still hasn't explained himself or his two-faced BS. Where is your buddy? I thought he would be around before long? Waiting to hear from him about his two faced BS and how he tried to re-join the company over on the other site after he slammed those same people over here. Frankly, I am getting tired of dealing with this 4ager idiot and his obsession with being butt hurt and going to bat for his dear friend.
Just like Mannlicher, you too have an alter ego and can sling BS with your dear friend as a last attempt to "look cool" over here on the big boys hunting site. News flash... No one gives a [bleep] about your credentials, the amount of time you spend afield, or your next trip. No one gives two sh*** if your feelings are hurt because they bought expensive gear! No one gives a steaming sh** if you got all butt hurt by the moderators over on the other site or if you had some kind of bad experience. Leave it to you to tell everyone just how terrible it is over there. "Take it from me fellas (After all, I have 11,000 posts) that site is terrible and the mods are so unfair" Ridiculous! You got called out and now you back peddle with every excuse you can think of! lol
In the end, you are the only one that is "Butt Hurt"! Butt hurt because you couldn't get along on the other site, Butt hurt because people have money to spend on gear (that you may not have) and you feel obligated to comment on how they need to use their gear or how much money they can spend on it.. Several times in this thread you have referred to "the knife" that "has never and will never be used". Why does that make your panties crawl up into your a-hole? Why are you so concerned how people use their stuff? As if there aren't a few thousand guys on this site that have firearms/knives or whatever sitting in a safe that have never been used touched. Safe queens! WHO CARES! To each their own.
You really need to find something better to do. You sit behind your keyboard and slam everyone and everything over on the other site, Come to find out you were a very active like member for at least a year. Generating over 700 posts in only one year. Spent a lot of time over there huh?
Oh look. I found your backyard survival kit that you posted about on the other site. How cute! all the hand colored little altoid tins! Just darling.
4ager 1/20/2014 [img:left][/img]
Oh.. and here is something else.. Your condor knife with your super cute "be-daazzled" shealth and ultra custom twine burnt handle.. Very nice... Figured you you show it off to the backyard commandos huh? Super flashy out in the woods. I am sure it will be very useful on your upcoming elk trip! For hating the website over there, you sure posted quite a few pics looking for praise.
[img:left][/img]
Have you had enough? LOL!!

I did, and it doesn't tell me jack about how the steel sharpens or performs...it does tell me what people who have not handled the makers wares think of pictures though.
Surely people would not be splashing out money on something that is made of tin and paper-mache.
Not to pile on... But.. I did find another quote from 4ager. Same two faced crap as his buddy.
4ager 2/28/2014
"How I came to this forum? Easy… I followed Croatoan's tracks from his blog right over to here. Great place, great people, great knowledge, and tons to learn. I've been a hunter, angler, outdoorsman, and conservationist since I was a child and have traveled over a lot of terrain in the years since. I've learned a good bit, and like to share what I know, but the wealth of knowledge here about what I don't know has expanded my mind about things I didn't even know about (much less know how to do). All of this learning and sharing will make me a better outdoorsman, hunter, angler, and conservationist as well as a better teacher and mentor for my wife, my daughter, and others I interact with. All of this is much appreciated."
ha ha ha... What an idiot. You are exposed 4ager. Better pull your pants up, you a** crack is showing! lol

So my question to the fellow stands.
Sorry. I do not own one of the knives nor do I know the maker personally. Up to you to research Turley knives and draw you own conclusions. A quick google search will produce many threads about the knives from several forums.
Sorry I cant give you more info.

Knock it off fellow, you have made your point.
Nah.. too much fun. Just exposing the BS of all these keyboard commandos! That is all. If these two yahoos (Mannlicher and 4ager) are respected members of this community, some of the membership should start questioning their integrity, honesty, and intentions. The BS meter is pegged!
---Plenty of room for all gods Creatures, Right next to the mashed potatoes and Gravy!
So, now you are demanding the fora change to accommodate your ideals.
Your game is familiar and has just earned your first ignore.
WHAT? Demanding what? Have you not read this thread? The only thing I guess you could say I am demanding is for the two-faced BS'ers that rub elbows with people on other sites and then come here to badmouth them, to come clean..
When someone hides behind a screen name/avatar the only thing you can really take them on is their honesty, integrity, and what they contribute to the said forum via posts, photos etc.. Sadly, these two secret handshake fools may have thousands of posts, but spew a lot of BS. That is blatantly obvious by their alter egos and disrespectful comments.
Not sure how I pissed in your cheerios this morning, but go ahead, ignore me.
---Plenty of room for all gods Creatures, Right next to the mashed potatoes and Gravy!
Michigunner, you evidently were saving your membership here for such a momentous occassion. Glad I was able to help.
You are of course, vastly off base, but then if you ever visited here, and CONTRIBUTED something, maybe you would know more about what you are addressing
Do you run the same screen name over on BCUSA? Don't recall seeing it there, and I have been around awhile. Do you contribute something useful there as well?
Anyway, hope you have a nice day, it's been a real thrill reading the thoughts of someone with such perspicacity.

WOW! Finally stepped in to the conversation but didn't address any of you BS. Typical.... Figured we would be hearing from you. That was what? Post 49385? Yeah, I am over at BCUSA and do contribute on occasion. Definitely not 49,000 post worth, but I contribute and read a lot. I would be willing to bet dollars to donuts that you don't have many friends over there anymore. Especially since you consider everyone over there "Slavering and gasping Fanboys".
What did I say that was "vastly off base"? Was it the bit about your BS? Or wait, maybe the part about alter egos? Or questioning your motive and integrity?
Just like your little partner, I could pound you into the ground just as easily. But, I will save it. Hopefully the folks over here can see your blatant BS and flag waving antics. Get off the forums and find something better to do. You obviously spend way too much time behind a keyboard.
Cheers!

It sounds like you have serious anger management, and reality issues to deal with. If you spent all your money on expensive knives, I am sure there is public assistance you can fall back on. I did not see your "Michigunner" screen name over there though. Are you hiding behind a different name here? Using an alter ego? At any rate, nothing you have said, or will say, has any value. Adios, you certainly rate an 'ignore' here.

Unbelievable.. You still refuse to address your rude comments about the guys on the other site. You even posted on the thread (about your behavior) yet never apologized and just tried to join the company of the folks you insulted.
I could care less if you ignore me or not. Not like I will be contacting you so you can blow some sunshine up my A** and act like my buddy just to backstab me on another forum. I mean, that is your "Modus Operadi" is it not?
Reality issues? Me? No.. You are the one with reality issues, maybe it's time to step away from the "forum life" you are leading and get out in the fresh air. Heck, you have posted 12 times a day on average, everyday, for the last 12 years. That is only on this site!! So who is living in a false reality, computer world? Surely not me.
As far as my screen name is concerned. Yep I am Michigunner here and have a different name on the other board. So? I registered this name in 2009 and some of the other boards earlier and later. I have nothing to hide. Seems as if your not smart enough to realize some of the guys on the BCUSA site (as well as others) may also be members of other forums (this one) and not take kindly to your comments.
---Plenty of room for all gods Creatures, Right next to the mashed potatoes and Gravy!
well reading that was like having to watch a bad soap opera, if you get this up set over something like this, I bet you guys lose your minds when a major problem comes around like your momma forgot to buy your favorite cereal or something
This thread needs to die..................but in a FUN way.
AND
Now lets get back to talking about knives.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. --Winston Churchill
I dunno 'bout the quality of the knives, but it's a bummer that them camouflaged hats are sold out...the ones for a hundred bucks each...made outa nylon...the ones that are 'absolutely guaranteed' to have imperfections in em'. I'm sure it's all on the up and up though...'cause there is a Bible verse on the website.
I agree.. I am done.. I have said what needs to be said. Cant change people or set expectations thinking they will "right a wrong." Oh well.
Just bought a Condor HD kukri. Really impressed with it. Seems to be of very good quality and the sheath that came with the knife is among the best I have seen (as far as a mass manufactured knives are concerned). Although there is nothing wrong with leather, I prefer Kydex. May try and make up a kydex sheath for it. We shall see.
---Plenty of room for all gods Creatures, Right next to the mashed potatoes and Gravy!
Those bushwhackers are an odd cult. Harmless but odd.
Mostly city boys camping in their backyards.
Outdoors people should be sticking together not passing blanket judgements on each other IMHO. Remember when they tried to turn hunters against target shooters (I am both). It didn't work out well.
LOL,,,,, it would appear that internet forum hypocrisy isn't exclusive to the fire.
The same bushwackers whose feelers were hurt by being talked about "behind their backs" on another site currently have a thread going that's bashing Paul Dobbins/Trapperman.com for trying to protect his site from anti's. Apparently a bunch of yankees who's biggest outdoor feat is starting a fire in their back yard without matches aren't aware of the hostilities and attacks trappers have to deal with on a daily basis. It's in the hunting, fishing, gathering forum.
People can judge for themselves if they wish to read the entire thing. Some agreed with a hesitation of giving private information online most others like myself felt it's the forum owners right to run his house as he sees fit. Also many fully understood the challenges the owner faces in dealing with anti hunting/trapping bigots. I haven't trapped in 30 years so only participated due to being a big believer in Freedom of Association. Also I despise those who try to bully hunters, trappers, fisherman and shooters. Antis suck. We can all agree on that.
He's a good guy too, and I wish he still hung out here. I always looked forward to his threads.

It's true that some folks stuck up for T-man but I didn't see anyone ripping on the OP for backstabbing like they did Manlicker.
I was simply pointing out to Michigunner that the bushwhacker crowd aren't beyond some internet backstabbing themselves.
It's everywhere,, and while I'm no fan of Manlicker, he's not the only one doing it.
And don't be too hard on poor old Manlicker,,,, I've seen him post pix of his woodsman skills taking place in his back yard too.
I read the entire "Trapperman.com" thread over on BCUSA and didn't think anyone was "backstabbing" at all. I think they were just wondering why the Trapperman site owner requested personal information such as phone numbers etc. The OP on that thread was simply asking a question and wondering if others shared their personal info on internet forums. Plain an simple. Not as if the OP from that thread started a post ridiculing the Trapperman site or the owner of the site.
I am a member of 4 or 5 outdoor forums where I enjoy reading and learning different things. I have never been asked for my personal info. I 100% understand why trapperman does.. He has to protect his site from the PETA people and others. Makes sense to me.
---Plenty of room for all gods Creatures, Right next to the mashed potatoes and Gravy!
Just ain't gonna let it go no matter how many times you say you're done with this thread. (I count two or three so far.) Are you?
Well I'm not going to argue with you because no matter what anyone says you'll obviously defend the bushwhackers with their Mora knives and sawed off H&R Handi's, (AKA "dedicated bushcraft rifles") anyway so I'll just leave you with a hardy GFY.
Even classier was the post that he quoted. The one from the other knife maker calling someone else's work a piece of sh**. I see he quickly did a 180 and apologized. "telling it like it is" and being a complete A-hole are two very different things.

What did I say that upset you? I agreed that Trapperman.com has every right in the world to demand whatever they want for membership. The only thing I disagreed about was the "backstabbing". After reading the other thread, I personally didnt feel as if it was malicious. This one, started by Man-licker, yeah, pretty malicious.
I said I was done a few post back. I then started talking about knives and mentioned that I just purchased a Kukri. However, no one seemed to care about the knife part. It appears the audience here is more interested in an argument. As you clearly are... Carry on..

Again.. This is getting ridiculous. Mr. FieldGrade is also a member of BCUSA. Funny how all you guys will sit here and badmouth all the guys over there yet you are all fricken members of the site and post semi-daily. Two faced SOBs
Hows that Husky Carpenters axe? You sure do have some nice photos of it over on BCUSA showing it off to all the "bushwackers with their Mora knives and sawed of H&R Handi's".
Incredible. Completely ridiculous.

Thanks. It's been too long. Yes I am guilty of among other things rubbing two sticks together to start a fire without matches. Even do it on ice. No it's not my greatest accomplishment in the woods. That involved an Irish women plus Eureka tent.
Why? Because I DIY a Kydex sheath for a custom PSK knife and wanted to put the blade though some field testing. Also burning stuff is fun but most of all because I can. That said I won't be replacing my Bic and firesteel anytime soon with just sticks.
I think it came out well.
Hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, trapping, target shooting, fishing etc etc etc. In a world full of video games we are all real people doing real things.
Just a general rant that has nothing to do with 222Rem who is a good guy. A rant which unfortunately if you are still reading this are about to be subjected to. Maybe press the ignore button while there is still time.....
Last chance......
All those who spent a grand or more on tipi shelter systems raise your hands.

All those who spent over a grand on a rifle (including or excluding glass) raise your hands.

All those who spend more than 500 bucks on a pack raise your hands.

I recently tried to join this forum in an attempt to learn more about trapping. I was trying to find what traps I should buy, and just general methods of trapping. I was denied because I would not provide a private phone number to a man named "Paul" in a email from a personal account. Here follows the screenshots of this interaction.
Here is the email sent when you apply for the forum
[ATTACH=CONFIG]244243[/ATTACH]
Here is Paul's email sent to me from a private email address.
Here is my someone indignant but honest response to me being asked for my private info.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]244246[/ATTACH]
And here is the official response from Trapperman.com
[ATTACH=CONFIG]244247[/ATTACH]
So..... Do you think Paul had to ask me this question on his personal email because asking me for private this private information was illegal?
Also have any of you had any kind of similar situations with this forum? I truly just wanted to join the forum to learn more about trapping for this upcoming season. I have a ton of yotes and beavers that need to be removed, and I like the pelts... However I didn't realize if I didn't submit my private information I would have been singled out as an "anti" and not allowed to join the forum. I understand you want to remove people who are trying to subvert the online trapping community, but any normal organization would just remove them afterwards and not run off new comers because they are scared of the "antis". What a joke.
---NSFH
Again here is the thread so the readers can decide how that forum as a whole handled it.
WoodsWalker. Nice set up you have there. I do like the Kydex Sheath, well done. I need to try my hand at a custom Kydex sheath for my Kukri but am thinking I should probably start on a neck neck knife or something smaller. The Kukri is big, and because of it's shape, I have read it is not the simplest of knives to make a sheath for. I have never made a sheath and recently have been reading the forums and watching youtube vids.
Having a bit of fun.. I will add to your list..

My wife thinks all of the above are ridiculous purchases and unnecessary. I am sure others (possibly outside of this forum) may agree.

Hey Woods Walker, very glad to see you back. It's unfortunate that internet drama brought you here. This thread should be dead already.
Great job with the little knife. It makes my hand cramp up just looking at it, but does look very functional for always having in your pack and not taking up any space.
I've followed your bow and drill skills on the other forum and am impressed, but have learned enough I think I'll have success when I try it. It's been 30yrs since I attempted, and all I made was lots of smoke.............so I was very close.

I like the little PSK knives but yes they're not made for hard work. If so inclined I could of hafted a handle but it was sooooo cold. More of a similar style.
I am no master of anything but if yea try and fail spinning a coal post up the pics and we can work it out. It's kinda nice having that knowledge in the tool box. On a side note as somehow Mora knives got injected into this....... whatever it is so behold.
What's next? People don't like bacon.
Drama is entertaining for sure but this is a knife subforum and this thread is short (pun intended) on knives.
Yeah... Post some more pics of the wood stove Woodswalker! That thing looks just about perfect for my David Ellis Torrent tent. I already made one for my Davis 17x14. Still need a stove for the David Ellis though. You can PM me pics of the stove if you don't want to clutter up the thread with non-knife discussion
Thanks

WW's little stove and stack robber are both Campfire classics. He's also the only guy I know who's probably got his Kifaru stove down to a .50c per use average.
+1 on the Mora knives. They're wonderfully useful knives, and I've got 'em stashed around the house, and in my vehicles and packs. The Mora 2000 is probably the only one I don't have. I'll admit to not feeling the gravitational pull of the little PSKs yet.

I also don't have the 2000. Been wanting to get the SS 1/8 thick crazy orange Mora.
isn't bacon a wonderful thing? Michigunner comes over and acts the total vituperative, nasty azzhole, and yet at mention of bacon, and he slips back into the role of Mr. Congeniality. Laughing .

Do you have specific complaints and examples about the person to prove your accusations?
well yeah. Have you read his comments in this thread? I don't know who he is over on BCUSA though, as he won't tell anyone his handle for that forum. Hiding behind the keyboard, like he was so quick to slam others for doing. Risible, indeed.

This whole entire thread, as well as the one on BCUSA, was about you, you self indulgent prick. The audacity of some people amazes me. You refuse to even address what you said with regards to the folks over at BCUSA but you will come on here and act like you said nothing and try to call me out for being an A-hole!!??? You do realize that the entire 32 page thread "Internet low life with a foot in too many camps" on BCUSA is about YOU!!! and YOU being a two faced A-hole!!!
I was trying to get this thread back on track. Commenting on knives, woodtstoves, kydex sheaths etc. But I guess that doesn't work over here. Although a bit late to the game, Man-licker just wants to keep going. The stage is yours A-hole. Sadly, guys like WoodsWalker and 222Rem seem super nice, but this thread sure has brought out the a-holes in droves. Carry on Man-licker. What's next?

I agree WoodsWalker... Sorry if I annoyed any of the good guys on the forum (Looks like there might be a few of you out there).
Not sorry for calling out Manlicker for his flag waiving antics and backstabbing. However, I didn't mean to clutter up the site with an internet argument or a bunch of he said she said stuff. I am sorry for that.
I tried to end this and go back to civility a few posts back. I know Woodswalker did and so did 222rem. Didn't work and the roaches kept coming out of the woodwork... Oh well. I will leave Manlicker to reign king over this forum with his 49,000 posts of meaningless banter. Hopefully the Mods over at BCUSA will ban him from the site knowing he is still over there daily kissing A** and singing praise.
Good day gentleman.

Who cares what Mors uses? Who cares what Ray uses? Who cares what Joe blow uses? If you're not any of those people you probably shouldn't concern yourself with what they like unless you like it also. No need to tell them they are wrong. No need to go to one extreme or the other. You're not going to convince anyone they are wrong on the internet. lol.
Mors uses a Mora? Must be the best knife in the world. What's that you say? Mors uses a Skookum bushtool?! Must be the best knife in the world....wait. They both can't be the best, right? The rule of non contradiction might have something to say about that. Maybe....just maybe...Mors likes knives!? Maybe he likes them both?
I know one thing for sure...I don't give a flying fart. And I really like Mors.

he weren't the azzhole here...
