I kind of like the way it is presently labeled:

Deforum with Bill DeShivs

My guess is you need or want to build and/or mod, you would know who Mr. Bill DeShivs is anyway.

Unless of course you are a recent BladeForum refugee, in which case no one expects you to know anything 8)

ps: sorry...that was uncalled for, but I'm leaving it up anyway. No remorse.

Understanding switchblades with Bill DeShivs
or with an italian flavoring:
switchblades capenti con il sig. Bill DeShivs

What ever you choose it is great for this forum that you will be hosting the site, will you still be hosting the '101' forum also?

For reasons of my own, I don't care one way or the other about 101, but I am DELIGHTED that Bill has graced us with his presense here!

The integration of Bill's new forum here is much more user friendly and certainly more a part of Talkblade than the fomer layout at that other place.

Hi Old Bill, Just thought I drop in and say hello. I like Deshiv's shop--has a certain ring to it.

Thanks Teddy, I used to be a member here years ago when it was called the SKM forum. A little different now.

Merlin much different. No blood and gore here now nor any flamethrowers either nor a gentlemen who did more damage to the credibility of switch collectors then anyone else I can think of. And you get all this for the price of one of your customs. You can't beat that my friend.

first-class.artistry in craftsmanship,every inch.

When i become independently-wealthy i'll be calling
