dixie usto buy their Strait Razor Blank blades from "atlanta cuttlery"
dont have one of their catalogs anymore or their address any more but
they had a booth at friendship and did a whopping mail order business for
all types of blades and knives.  they even had some damascus blanks that
made some nice knives.  had some damascus razor blanks .  if i remember
right a order over $100.00 you got a good discount, almost like wholesale
type of thing.  They were always running specials, and relied on turnover
more than anything else to make their profit.  they also had curved
skinners and stickers with the hardwood handles  similar to the green
rivers.  only the handels were rivited with 3 large rivets and didn't
have the 5 pins.  the knives held a good edge and we are still using some
of their skinners to dress deer and stuff with at deer camp.

their stickers make good kitchen or cooking blades.  Boone in oklahoma
forged me a copy and the only problem is that it stays too sharp to use
in the kitchen has a problem with cutting fingers and stuff that you are
not intended to cut.

someone out ther is probably getting a copy of the Atlanta Cutlery
catalog and can provide the address and 800 number for ordering their
blades.

I believe the book you may be looking for is Crow Killer, The Saga of Liver-
Eating Johnson  by Raymond W. Thorp and Robert Bunker. It's still widely
available and any bookstore should be able to order it for you. If you are
interested in "Dapiek Absaroka", you may want to check out this E-mail groups
archives under the subject of Liver-Eating Johnson.

MRW/aka Hatfield went down the tubes about February.  They supposedly left the
city hanging with a default on a 1 million loan, and sources have said they
left the NMRLA with an unpaid advertising bill for MuzzleBlasts and who knows
what else.  This info has been confirmed.  This Hatfield was another flash in
the pan enterprise.

     I'm writing a book about iron trade axes and tomahawks and their makers.
I was hoping some people out there would be able to lead me to some names of
blacksmiths who worked at the various posts, forts and indian villages and
where to find out more information in that regard.

There are three out-of-print book searches on the internet:
HTTP:\\www.Interloc.com, HTTP:\\www.bibliofind.com, and
HTTP:\\www.ABEbooks.com.  All have literally thousands of books you can search
by title, author, subject and key words.  If the book you're looking for is
around, one of them is liable to have it listed and tell you which dealer to
contact.  (Now that I've given everyone these addresses, I'll probably never
be able to find the books I'm looking for cause you'll all beat me to them.)

I've dealt with Amazon a few times.  Had good luck with items in stock,
quality is good.  they have an enormous amount of patterns availalbe.  An
entire separate catalog's worth.

Dear LongWalker, again,

I'm from Utah, and your capote and mine sound an awful lot a like, but I'll
be your sleeves are too long for me.  But since it sounds a lot like mine --
it doesn't sound all that unusual -- it you know what I mean.

The molds for them thar, dare I say it, "cartridge/suppository" if peddled
as a group are the most unusual thing.  If the bad guys know their
potiential markets for the molds, they'll probably take them to a big gun
show.

Here in Utah, there's a big gun show at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City
this coming weekend.  The following weekend, is the big Easter Rendezvous at
Fort Buenaventura.  I'll probably be trapping beaver instead of haning out
in the settlements that weekend, but just in case I find time go to Fort I'm
hoping it's a warm day so I don't have to wear my big white-and-black
striped Whitney blanket capote sewn with linen thread, chest size 50.

If you could add  some more descriptive information,  such as maker's names,
brands, packaging,  and calibers on those suppository bullet molds I'll see
if anything stands out at the gun show in Salt Lake this weekend. There will
be traders there with tables piled high with with all kinds of gun parts,
accessories, and accoutraments, so theres got to be something unusual to
look for before we can hope to do you any good in helping catch the bad
guys.
