Hi... I think it's a great idea. I REALLY would like to see a whittler. Case makes some excellent whittlers. And I'm not particular about the steel, either. It will go in my collection. I already HAVE a favorite knife for a daily user. And…

Happy Birthday Jim and Have a Happy Anniversary!
Jim Prather replied to J.J. Smith III's discussion 'Why the Seahorse?' in the group CASE Seahorse Whittler Users and Collectors.
Ivars... Bless your little heart! I simply can't imagine someone NOT having a Seahorsie! Here are a "few" of mine. I have many, many more. I REALLY need to update my pictures. I have at least twice as many as this that are not in…

LTA... That stands for Love To All. Something I came up with years ago when I saw TCB on the tail of Elvis' (Not Bob Picklesimer, the original Elvis) plane when I flew a Cessna 172 into Memphis. TCB stands for "Taking Care of Business". I thought, "Cool, I gotta' do something like that, and I'll be famous"! So I came up with, LTA. And I mean it. And I became a legend in my own mind...

- About Me
- I am old and crazy. I am medicated at all times of the day. I have been known to wear the same clothes for an entire space shuttle mission. I am caucasion, and Episcopal. I like Fords, and Ford products. I don't like rude people. I don't like people who hurt animals... (BAD, Michael Vic, BAD BOY!) I don't care for people who bite other people. That's just uncalled for!
I like knives. Knives of all kinds, although I collect mostly Case knives, and anything I can get for free. I especially like anything that Bob Picklesimer puts out. And yes, he IS my little brother! Can YOU spell Picklesimer?
It's time for my medication.
- Interests
- Knife making... I hung up my belt sander several years ago. Race cars (I used to race sports cars), airplanes, former pilot, former scuba diver, collect antique marbles and military patches and American coins, photography. Guns and shooting. NOT killing, but shooting. And if it's very still, I can pretty well drill it! I used to love to bass fish, but I don't get out of the house any more... except to go to the doctor.
I'm also interested in life. It's a hoot! Although I look at death as a promotion in life...
- Other Hobbies
- Collecting antique marbles. Collecting Patches. Collecting cook books. I even wrote and had one published.
Ham Radio. I have talked to people in almost every country in the world. I was one of the first "Dirty Dozen" Ham Operators in Oklahoma city. That was in 1959.
I live in Moore, Oklahoma. The tornado capitol of the known universe. Tornados are a hobby to EVERYONE in Moore, Oklahoma. Seriously, I have my own weather station, and I report to the NWS in Norman, Ok. I am also a member of http://www.tornadovideos.net/ It's a GREAT forum for anyone interested in extreme weather.

- Thanks folks, for all the great Birthday wishes. What a GREAT day! Picklesimer made me a Yellow handled Seahorsie, and a slick black one, both with old pinned on shields! They look kind'a like a new Mustang, Cuda, or Camaro. Modern, but nostalgic. They are STUNNING!
Love to all... Jim
PS... It's also my 40th wedding Anniversary. And there has not EVER been an incident where one of us put the other in the hospital. Well, not YET!
