Looks like his site is getting around to being functional. No longer just a placeholder, hes got a logo and a few links up. Excited for this, healthy competition makes us all winners! And both bass tackle and bobs tackle shack are 2 miles from my house :-)

I have a funny feeling I will be checking both sites rather often. Can't wait to see Bob's new site

http://woodcarvers.com/murphyknives.htm Murphy is a brand and there are many brands/models. I'm no carving expert. This knife was recommended by someone on TU and I bought one. It stays sharp for a long time and carves great, so I'm a happy camper. Get the pre-sharpened version and buy a strop and sharpening compound at the same time to touch up the edge as needed. It comes in a handy plastic tube for storage. There are other online sources for Murphy knives and the company has a website where they sell them too. You might want to check shipping costs to find the best overall deal. The knife is reasonable at around $15

@ fishon-son Same thing over here , and not only with fishing lures , ....but the difference is , that brand companies having their stuff produced in cheap labor countries like China do demand a certain quality standard from their manufacturers over there , .....just because they put their name on it and have a reputation to lose . But knock-offs of almost everything(including fishing lures)made on the overseas manufacturers own behalf and risk do not meet such higher quality standards , so this stuff often is the real crap ! I've already seen lures , that are obviously made in the same molds , but sold under different names by different tackle companies in different countries , same goes for tackle bags . Finally all of this stuff comes from the very same stable in China or wheresoever . Talking tacklebags , ....now and then local supermarket chains put fishing tackle on weekly special offers , .....never bought , since it is crap , ...EXCEPT , .....their tackle bags and rod bags , extremely sturdy and well made , costing far less than half compared to buying comparable items from brand fishing tackle suppliers in a tackleshop , but both obviously made by the same contract manufacturers in overseas , .......easily recognizeable by style , quality and material , ........these supermarket chains also have their own strict quality demands , that manufacturers have to obey , if they want contracts with such shop chains . Just my , .......greetz , diemai
