I saw Callie yesterday along with their newest pup Dutch while shooting at the Rock. Great dogs! Mike told me about the training at Ringneck but kept his stealth 16 Lefever hidden away. He told me he got it months ago and so far I've only seen the pic he posted here.

I can see it now, Mountain Man Mike digging thru the coal mine tailing dumps down in the valley, scrounging traditional fossil fuel for the forge he'll set up under the old pavilion at his 5-stand. Plenty of deer skins on hand at Rock this year to make a bellows. Get some vintage leaf springs from that dude with all the junk tractors and such on the creek road down from his club. Hint: I remember seeing a rusty spring tooth harrow next to one of the guy's shacks. Next season, Mike the Fox Hollow Bladesmith will be the star on that TV show, chopping up cow carcasses and cutting wide paths thru arctic willow when the producers fly him up north.

As my friend Mike might end a post, Bwaaahahahhhahahaa

It's interesting watching the contestants making damascus steel to create some of the blades. Some are very good at it.

Bob, there are some very skilled smiths on that show. I like the “Cutting Deeper” episodes. They give more insights to what they do in the forge.

Frank, use coal sometime, but gas forging is easier to control. You nailed it with the spring steel though!! 😀 Fox Hollow Kennel and Forge!! Niiiiiice!!
