Great looking knife! blade looks damascus even. Your skill really shows thru.
I use to be into antique radios, repairing, finding old tubes. But I also have an "ex" and moved to an apartment. Could'nt have tubes and radios/parts filled from top to bottom, parted with it all. Also needed money at the time. But I still admire them and love watching the radio come to life with the glow and I kept my first radio and most rare tube. I could probably sell that tube and buy a Dunhill, lol. I wont. I like to ice-fish and military history. oh' yeah, I'm a hockey nut!

wow, wait a minute, do you have a website for your flutes? I just discovered Native American Flute music and have started buying Scott August, and Coyote Oldman CD's. You've gotta post up some pics or links on your flutes.
Cool stuff.
You are right Briar Bully the knife is pattern weld in a random twist pattern. That one is now someplace around Minneapolis.
I'm a golfer, a watcher, a reader and a listener.
When the weather is nice, I'm walking the fairway, or heading into the woods, depending on how my swing is holding up. I don't take golf too seriously, but I sure do enjoy it. It's my favorite pasttime. Nothing else comes close.
What I watch:
Sports -- baseball, football, hockey and, of course, golf. Classic movies and movies that should be considered classic.
What I read:
Political history, sports history, biographies and fiction (I'm currently into the Steig Larrson trilogy.
What I listen to:
Blues, real rock 'n' roll, country and western, big band and jazz (does it get any more eclectic?).
And I love to cook -- indoors and on the Weber in the backyard.
My favorite beverages are: a pale ale, authentic American lager, lemonade, Pepsi One and black coffee.
I also enjoy (sometimes) yard work. Please don't tell my wife.

I routinely honor bad books by reading them, paint some, garden, bicycle, barbecue (low and slow), and pick up and cellar Italian wines in a very offhand way. I have been known to play the accordion when nobody's around (with a wife and three kids that's not very often).
So I shall make use of that conveniently placed bump above me.
Hobbies... I have been animating for 2 or 3 years (click on my avatar for my youtube channel to see some short films)
I really enjoy it.
Also crafting, mostly with wood, right now I haven't made anything that's really worth posting.
Music has gotten somewhat of my interest, I have played trumpet for 5 or 6 years and right now I'm practicing harmonica.
I like to fiddle with electronics too, although I don't like how small and compact everything is getting lately, it makes it harder to fiddle with the stuff.

Since the thread got refreshed, I thought I'd chime in as well.
Aside from my briars, I am an avid rock climber. When I can't go outside, I usually spend 3-4 days a week in the climbing gym.
On a more mellow note, I enjoy reading good books, playing board games with my wife and friends, a good glass of Scotch, writing, backpacking, hiking and the like.
That sums it up.

One of my other main hobbies apart from the Photography and camera collecting would have to be my bike. Had her for coming up close to a year and as the weather is starting to get a bit milder i'll definitely be on the hunt for that illusive perfect English biking road again.

OH man :worship: I have had 3 VFR's. Are you a member of the VFR Discussion.com forum?
Here are my former bikes:
We converted one over to all CBR600 F4i bodywork with a new aluminum subframe I fabbed up and installed a Micron Titanium Ultralite(1 1/2 lbs.) muffler which can be heard here.
It started out looking like this
Ended up looking like this:

Oh wow, those are nice. The NC30 is my first proper bike after a couple of years on 125's. Amazing bikes but am now after something a bit bigger when the money allows. There's not much out there at the moment around the 600cc size that is too different.
I love the V4's and the sound they make is incredible. Am thinking about a Triumph Daytona 675, the 3 cylinder is just that little bit different enough ;-)
By the way, how much of a pain in the butt are those white wheels to keep clean eh :roll:
