Hey Tippit, my wife and I lived in Aiken for 3 years when we were first married back in the late 80's. We worked as ecologists at the Savannah River Plant (SRP/SREL). We liked it a lot. A reasonable drive to the beach and the mountains was a bonus. Nice display. A friend was renting a farmhouse outside of town and while shooting one day we found a rivet forge 2/3rds buried in the sand. I dug it up and it was in remarkable shape. The landowner let me keep it and I still use it today.

Second one up from the bottom on the far right is about as useful a knife as any hunter  could find.  Move it to the center, will sell better.

Congratulations!  As an artist it certainly is a feather in your cap.

I am still drooling over the short tang one at extreme bottom right corner.  Excellent display.
