Re: YOUR USER NAME
Because I'm tall, have lots of hair, and big feet the nickname Bigfoot has been with me for a long time. It was my handle on the CB radio until too many others started using it and that's when I changed it to Sasquatch. Then when trying to use it as a screen name it was already in use so I dropped the "T" and it was accepted. Since then I have found out the Sasquach is considered a proper spelling of the name. Being a Native American word it can be found historically spelled both ways. So that's how I got my user name.

Re: YOUR USER NAME
Any John Wayne fans?
Wayne and producer Robert Fellows founded Batjac in 1952 as Wayne/Fellows Productions. When Fellows left the company several years later, Wayne renamed the corporation after a fictitious trading company mentioned in the film Wake of the Red Witch (1948). The company name in Wake of the Red Witch was spelled Batjak, but Wayne's secretary misspelled it as Batjac on the corporation papers, and Wayne let it stand.

I enjoyed reading through this thread. So, in an effort to keep it going....
In high school I had a tough, but decent, math teacher who used the writing of “lines” as a consequence of transgressions. He had three sentences that covered most sins:
1. Neither wise men nor fools can work without tools.
2. Procrastination is a thief of time.
3. Empty vessels make the most noise.
I became skilled at speed writing #3.....
My avatar/username is a combo of #3 and my other hobby of remote control sailboat racing. For what it’s worth, I remain,

Re: YOUR USER NAME
The Lansky sharpening system singlehandedly got me (really) into knife collecting. Like most, I used to do ok sharpening freehand, but after I got a Lansky, the perfect edge that it produces was the catalyst that really enabled me to get into pocket knives. I don't really collect, I use everything I have, so keeping them all scary sharp is a priority for me & the Lansky does a fantastic job of it...
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee

For me, i have so many different accounts on different sites out in the web. I kind of ran out of names by the time i got here. So i picked WillyCamaro because my name is William/Nickname Willy, and my all time favorite car is, THE, 1969 CAMARO 350 Z/28 And if any one added the full SS/RS package to it, then i'll die and go to car heaven!

Re: YOUR USER NAME
First let me state I would change mine since this is only my second post, but it appears that is not allowed. So.....I tried a bunch of variations on my first name, Mike, and my last name and combos. Every one I tried was taken
I'm not good at picking user names. Never come up with anything cool So while I was pondering this sorry state of affairs, one of my favorite Skynyrd songs came on, "Call me the Breeze". Yeah, the power of suggestion
So I guess just call me Breeze

Re: YOUR USER NAME
A brief version. My family came from a country town and through a family member i was able to spend my school holidays on a dairy farm. It was there that i was taught to hunt and given my first knife. This started my love affair with knives, and the farm was at a very small place called CUDGEE, so i thought this was a good name to use.

Nothing mysterious about mine, it's my initials and the numbers were part of a set of numbers I used in the Navy. I really wish I could change mine like someone else said earlier.

Re: YOUR USER NAME
When I 1st saw your user name several years ago, I figured the 110 was in reference to the iconic Buck knife. David, you do have a 110, don't you?

Re: YOUR USER NAME
I hadn't thought of that, it must have went right over my dumb head. Yes sir I have a rather nice one, but the brass needs to be cleaned up some. It is a 1981 - 1986 model. I was at a flea market a couple of years ago and I saw it on a guys table. He wasn't there and a "friend" was watching his things. When I ask how much he couldn't tell me so I offered $30. He took my offer and I took my knife. Not sure if those two are still friends.treefarmer wrote:When I 1st saw your user name several years ago, I figured the 110 was in reference to the iconic Buck knife.

Re: YOUR USER NAME
Hey Dave, my 110 looks to be about the same as yours. There are a couple of very clueless guys out in Cloverdale who are selling knives by the bucketful. I think they are airport confiscations. I got the Buck for $5
I got a very nice little Case for $2.50, the same model going on the Bay for between $90-$106.

I was Army Armor Branch. In my era we were using M-60A1s. A very good tank in its day. It had a commander's cupola which was very useful but that feature was dropped from the Abrams to lower the profile. Do you concentrate on WWII armor or other periods as well?

Hi quick steel, I mostly am focused on WWII, but will build the odd modern armor piece.
