Knife Prices are Going UP!

Posted on October 11, 2021October 11, 2021 by Gholmes2

It’s been a while since I sat down to the computer and shared my thoughts. This summer has been a blur and it’s hard to relate all that’s gone on. What’s been going on? Personally, it was a great summer. We spent over three weeks in the camper. Northern Minnesota, North Dakota, Cody Wyoming, Yellowstone……

Knife Collecting Changing?

Posted on July 22, 2021July 22, 2021 by Gholmes2

I have to admit, I haven’t been watching the knife industry very closely this past year. Since I sold TSA Knives, LLC to Erin it’s been kind of nice to kick back and not have to worry about trying to keep everyone happy. Erin’s younger, more patient and just a much nicer person then I…

Council Tool Axe and Hatchets

Posted on July 21, 2021July 21, 2021 by Gholmes2

This past week our first order of Council Tool Axe and Hatchets arrived. These have been in short supply and our order took roughly 4 months to arrive. AND, we only received roughly 1/2 of our initial order. So there’s more to come! I’ve been stocking axes and hatchets from Germany, Italy, Sweden and other…

July 4, 2021 and We Made It!!!

Posted on July 2, 2021July 2, 2021 by Gholmes2

Yup, it’s July 4, 2021 and we made it. Looking back at where we were a year ago, I wasn’t so sure. We were in a state of quarantine due to the Covid virus. Businesses were under orders to shut down, many would never reopen. Rioters were burning and tearing down anything and everything that…

Throwing Southern Grind Axes

Posted on June 29, 2021June 29, 2021 by Gholmes2

We had friends up this past weekend and spent it throwing Southern Grind Axes for entertainment. The Southern Grind Wasp isn’t ‘legal’ under Official WATL competition rules but they are fantastic if you’re just out to have some fun. They make a great entry to the sport of Axe throwing and build confidence. Nothing worse…

Piranha Pocket Review

Posted on June 18, 2021June 18, 2021 by Gholmes2

I’ve had a fascination with Automatic knives for many years. I have a Benchmade, a decent quality foreign made and a Gerber that I’ll carry from time to time. Recently, I had the opportunity to get my hands on one of the Piranha auto’s and actually ended up adding a few of them to the…

Memorial Day 2021

Posted on May 31, 2021May 31, 2021 by Gholmes2

I started last years Memorial Day blog post with the opening statement: “We owe the fallen warriors more then ever this Memorial Day. The ultimate sacrifices made by these fallen soldiers should be remembered and honored as we have never had the rights they died protecting under more serious attack.” My feelings about that statement…

Straight Grain Supply Axe Balm Review

Posted on April 29, 2021April 29, 2021 by Gholmes2

I’ve been trying out the Straight Grain Supply Axe Balm. It’s one of those products that kind of flies under the radar and certainly shouldn’t. Particularly if you’re conscientious about taking care of your hand tools. What is Axe Balm? The Hand-Poured Axe Balm is a simple means of protecting both wood and metal surfaces….

Once again, if you missed the Detroit Lakes Gun & Knife show you missed a great show. It’s not a big show but it was well attended and there was a lot of buying, selling and trading going on. Each show I’ve attended in the past year has seen an increase in interest in the…
