NO MAY CLUB MEETING: A short business meeting at the picnic on April 28 will suffice for the May club meeting. GREAT SOUTHERN KNIFE SHOW update: At the April club meeting, Jack Jackson agreed to be the chairman for the GSKS. Now let’s all give him our support and get involved! T  he best opportunity the club will have to advertise the GSKS will be at the Blade Show on June 8 – 10.

Please call Jack Jackson to help do this sometime during the show: 678-877-4605.
David Prowell will make the Benefit Knife for the GSKS. Stay tuned for more details in future newsletters! T  he month of OCTOBER is still open for any member wanting to be responsible for the program for the club meeting for that month.

He started with the famous Gurkha Kukri, a knife that can trace its design back to the ancient Greeks and Celts. He also displayed and talked about the Fairbairn-Sykes commando dagger, the V-42 dagger, the famous Kabar combat knife and the Applegate-Fairbairn combat knife, as well as a number of other important military knives. Mike also quoted Captain William Ewart Fairbairn on the essential qualities of a successful military knife— “keenness of blade and balance.”  |
