One morning in a crowded marketplace, a boisterous Samurai bumped into Musashi. As it was asimple accident, Musashi thought nothing of it and continued on his way. The Samurai, however, took

exception to this violation and confronted Musashi over the offense. Words were exchanged and the Samuraichallenged Musashi to a duel. Musashi shook his head in disappointment but accepted the challenge, realizing that the Samurai

would take his anger out on another if he was not taught a lesson.

Together the two men walked to the village square and faced each other. “What weapons shall we use to satisfy this offense?” asked Musashi.In answer, the Samurai drew his Katana and stood ready. Musashi looked to the ground and saw two round stones. He picked these up, one ineach hand. The Samurai noted this with some surprise but stepped forward anyway, a confident grinon his face.

Musashi flung the stone in his left hand at the Samurai’s chest. The Samurai raised the flat of hisblade to deflect the stone. At that moment Musashi heaved his second stone, aiming this time at hisopponent’s head. As the Samurai’s blade rang from the impact of the first stone hitting it, the secondstone struck the Samurai between the eyes, knocking him unconscious.

The Samurai awakened to find Musashi walking back toward the market. “Wait,” the Samuraiexclaimed and rose to follow. Musashi turned to face the man, who approached with his head bowedin submission. “I have shamed myself by my actions. With all my skills and weapons I was beaten bya mere stone,” said the Samurai. “You were not beaten by a stone,” replied Musashi. ”You were beatenby my strategy. You chose to place your faith in your weapon, while I chose to place my faith in themind, which can be a sharper weapon than any sword if used correctly,” the Samurai bowed and aftera formal apology, excused himself.

That night when the Samurai retired for the evening he stripped himself of his swords and placedthem carefully on their display mounts. He then reverently placed the stone which had defeated himnext to his swords, and left it there as a reminder and a lesson of the most important weapon hewould ever possess.

THE LESSON OF RESOURCEFULNESS

"#($, *% -&$ !#).+#’

April 2008 Page 3

Some twenty plus years ago I traversedthis grand country of ours as a NationalDistributor Sales manager for acompany that manufactured industrialsensing devices. My travels led me intobusinesses that I had only vaguelyheard about, and some of myexperiences will never leave thecrevices in my mind. Those were thedays when neckties were your standardbusiness dress without exception.

Having to look into machinery in theprocess of solving sensing problems,there was a high risk of the danger aloose floppy tie would be caught up inthe gears of a machine. The practice bymost was to tuck your tie into your shirtwhen around machines. You lookedlike a jerk, but it would be a life-savingmove. The other alternative was to weara tie bar. Tie tacks didn’t fit the bill as these could easily pop loose. Thebar was the best of the solutions around.

Being the flea market kind of a person I am, I picked up any novelty tiebar that was available at a cost effective price. I have some prettyinteresting tie bars that I still have although I haven’t used in the span of20 years. My quick count puts them at about 80 with the Oscar MeyerWiener Mobile, Coors can and the official government tie bars asamong the most interesting. There are tools, company names, firearmsand firearm components, agricultural produce, airplanes, ships, fishinggear, electronic devices, electric parts and then there were the knives.

My favorites were theknives, and I used these toestablish my identity withcertain customers. Mycustomers across thecountry never forgot Dennisand his collecting of knives.And they also used this to tieinto the company and theproducts I represented. Itwas indeed a great sales aid.Today I still have better thana dozen of my tie bar knivesand things that go cut.

I wore them on airplanes in those day but feel that, maybe today, notonly would my knife related tie bar be confiscated but maybe also my tiebeing an accessory to the knife.Times sure have changed, haven’t they?

Some of my favorite “cut” tie bars were the Craftsman tie bars. Therewas the saw blade that spun around, and there was the Craftsman flickermessage bar that had a fold out small knife that could actually be used.In all I have about four of these “use as a knife” tie bars that are not onlysharp to look at but sharp on the edge. There were also the miniatureswords of various styles and also scissors, hand saws, cleavers, fire axesand table saws.

It has been years since I wore a tie, and I even think I might haveforgotten how to tie a tie. The ties hang in the closet waiting for the nextstyle change that will beckon me to don ties and tie bars once again. Butthe tie bars are still fun to look at; a reminder of my travels years ago.

Tie one on with a Tie Bar by ibdennis What Can U Expect To SeeAt AKnife Show?A knife is man’s earliest tool. It has evolved from a simple tool to a symbol forroyalty and to an art form. It is used daily in all facets of our lives and has alsobecome a protector of freedoms in our battles. The knife can be made of steel butalso stone, bronze, ceramic or other exotic materials.

The knife at our Show takes on a new definition under the umbrella of “anythingthat goes cut.” It can mean a corkscrew, a hat pin, a sword, a pocketknife,scissors, a hunting knife, a military knife, an art form, a kitchen knife or a butterknife.

Our once-a-year gathering brings in cutlery enthusiasts from around the worldand with such excitement that we now rightfully claim to be the largest eventlike this in the world. All parts of the globe are represented at our Show withvisitors from Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. You will also be hardpressed to find a state in our country that is not represented either by a table-holder or a visitor. Interest in this cutlery world runs from the historical to theartistic. And in this realm you will see knifemakers displaying their products.You will also see suppliers of products that are used to make up the knives. Thiscan be leather for sheaths, handle materials that are man made or natural, toolsto make knives and art forms that are specialized to enhance the knife withexotic material like gold and silver. The knife also presents itself to the artist thatwill use their talents for scrimshaw and engraving or to make knives of artfulexpression.

As in all collecting circles there are specialists that home in on special areas of asubject. See the displays that adorn the walls on the perimeter of the rooms.These are truly museum quality displays. Enjoy and learn from them.

On Saturday we have seminars and demonstrations that will show the making ofstone knives, scrimshaw, swords, culturally unique knives, skills at knifehandling and the making of knives through forging. We will have it all at thisyear’s spectacular 430 table all knife show.

As you wander the aisles of our Show, you can stop at any of the custom maker’stables and examine their skill and craft. You can stop at the tables where you willfind knife collectors selling their knives and find out why that knife in yourtackle box or the one in the drawer might look just like the one offered for $100.Further exploring will find many commercial knives for sale that are fromGerber, Spyderco, Buck, Kershaw, Lone Wolf, Case and numerous othercompanies. You will also see the latest knives being offered with new andinnovative patterns and opening mechanisms.

Don’t forget to bring grandma’s or grandpa’s old knife or the one you have noidea about and have it appraised for free at our Show. You never know what thatknife you use to dig weeds might be worth. It might even stop you from diggingweeds with it as has happened in some cases. Or in some cases you might wantto even upgrade your weed digger and attack those weeds with a little class.

This organization has encouraged donations which are used for three purposes.We have door prize drawings during the Show. There are some pretty spiffyknives given away to lucky winners. We also have a raffle on Saturday whichanyone can enter. Most are choice items. And then we will have our silentauction on Saturday. These are the extra special knives that are donated to helpfund our event and are sometimes one-of-a-kind knives or special collector’sknives. Watch this auction carefully and get involved. It is located at the Clubtable, and anyone can get in on the bidding.

The idea for the Oregon Knife Show evolved some 30 plus years ago. The ideathen is the same as it is today. This is a fun Show. It is designed to be educational,informative and a happy face place. It is designed to show off the skills andcraftsmanship that are so much a part of the “World that goes cut.” It is a once-a-year museum. It is a once-a-year art show. It is a once-a-year show for people toshare interests and get to see friends. We do not specialize in interest groups thatare lumped together but instead randomly have all types of knife relatedmerchandise on tables scattered throughout the building.

If yours is an interest in pointy things or “things that go cut”..... Come join us...

All are welcome - non-denominational service

DIRECTIONS TO THE LANE EVENTS CENTERFrom 1-5 take exit 194B. Stay on I-105 West until the end (it crossesover the Willamette River and then curves to the left). I-105 ends at7th and Jefferson (when I-105 widens to three lanes, stay in the centerlane to avoid being forced to turn). Proceed straight ahead, south onJefferson, straight through the intersection at 13th & Jefferson, whereyou will enter the Lane Events Center and Fairgrounds: 796 W 13thAve., Eugene, OR 97402, (541) 682-4292. The EXHIBIT HALL is atthe South end of the large building on your right. The entrance isaround on the West side. Parking is available on both sides.

Knifemakers from all over the U.S., and from several foreignlands, come to the Oregon Knife Show. You can meet well-known makers, and perhaps order that special custom-madeknife you have always wanted. Prominent knife dealers areoffering everything from classic knives by makers long gone, tothe latest in high-tech and high-art cutlery from the U.S.A.,Europe,Asia,Africa andAustralia.

Hand-made knives range from solid practical hunting, fishing,kitchen and utility knives that are priced competitively withgood factory knives--though with that one-of-a-kind hand-made touch--on up to exquisite, investment-grade, fine-artpieces suitable for the most discriminating collector.

The Northwest is an important center of bladesmithing, so besure to note the wide variety of hand-forged cutlery offeredhere. Each forged blade was individually hammered-to-shapered hot by its "smith" or maker. Many have "Damascus" blades,built up of layered or braided steels of varying composition,then etched or specially polished to reveal the resulting pattern.

Another regional knifemaking specialty is traditional obsidianknapping, as practiced in Oregon in the Stone Age. Somemodern obsidian knives are made for use, and they work as wellas similar knives did 10,000 years ago. Others are fine artdisplay pieces.

For the do-it-yourself knifemaker, don't miss the wideassortment of knifemaking supplies and guidebooks offered byseveral of our exhibitors.
