I too was a charter member when they first started up. I thought their magazine was garbage, they never sent me anything to test, a whole bunch of books that while the picture were good didn't teach me anything. The only good thing that ever came from that outfit was an offer to buy a specially made custom knife strictly for the charter members. $65 as I recall. it was a folder designed by Blackie Collins. When the knife came it was sharp enough to shave with. Oveer thirty years later, after skinning anf gutting more deer than I have fingers and toes to cout and a couple of elk to boot, that knife will still shave and I havd never touched it's blade to a stone. I think that if I ever lost that knife, I would cut my wrists. I hope to have it buried with me.
