how can i convince my mom and dad to let me buy one of those tomahawks?

@xTacticalDogsx,  Maybe you could convince them that you're going to start cutting all the firewood they need? :-)

I wonder if Bill Keeler knew you have 78,000 subscribers? Does he know, on average, 50,000 may see him in this video and his wares? For a guy who now makes his living "forging historical edge weapons" he sure hit pay dirt taking a few minutes to talk with you and be friendly and polite.

@mindeloman, LOL, Well, I explained to him that we do videos on YouTube. He was fine with talking about his craft and such. I just love his stuff, so I hope he does sell a couple extra pieces for putting up with us a few minutes. After we stopped gabbing with him, I bought the throwing axe I was holding, and John bought the throwing knife I showed in the video.

Awesome video guys. I'd love to see more footage from that show. I can't wait to see which Hawk you bought. And, did you do any shooting while you were there? Great videos guys. Thanks for sharring

@MrAk47master, No, it's a competition, and while I'm fond of the old "charcoal burners," I've never competed with them. The only temptation there is that silhouette range; if I had a way to practice at those ranges a little, it might be fun to shoot the Enfield at those things.

Boy I'd love go get one of those knives from Rodger Needham. Anyone know where I can snag one? And no, I'm not going to Friendship...

[cavu79]

Thanks for sharing!

[fishblade2]

are the people here nice and willing to sell stuff at good deals or are they the typical flea market people who look to make a profit and rip you off?

[MrClayfingers]

Thanks for making this video. My home state is Indiana and this brings back memories. I miss those old reinactments. My dad just passed down his old .50cal muzzleloader to me. I love that thing. Take care.

That guy Bill looks like Willie Nelson

@mindeloman the last two bladesmiths where interesting, I seem to have some trouble believeing the last gentlemen though
