[@ClintHollingsworth]

Oh man, I loved that SO much. Nothing like hearing about a puffed up windbag getting deflated.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

some times they need it

[@erolkavlakverizon6112]

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Thanks for listening

[@clinkert483]

Heck of a story! Far too often good serviceable tools get snubbed off as junk when they can be made to live again

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i agree i look for old stuff i find it is better in many ways to the new stuff

[@CHIPPOFISHING]

wonderful story one of your most entertaining videos that I have seen

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

glad to do it

[@danieljones2183]

Great story Blackie. I bet you've got a million of em

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

I do

[@Engineer_without_a_cause]

Considering the time period you were practicing living history for do you follow anything from Townsend's?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yes i knew him back when he would come to events for his store he is a good guy and has well made gear

[@smd482000]

That a great story

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you

[@bitcoinbeacon77]

Great story bud.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Thanks for listening

[@riverjordan2637]

Great story Blackie!!! I love an underdog , I had a smile from ear to ear at the out come of your throw felt the joy as if I was there God bless and thank you for sharing.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks for watching

[@ccccclark2605]

Great name. Great story. A great VICTORY! Congrats! 🎉🍾

[@lawson9102]

Nice hawk

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you

[@madshad3351]

A great story for a great axe 🪓. Thank you Blackie.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

my pleasure

[@tomschultz2833]

Great story! Money does not make a man! And that's a beautiful powder horn.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

You got that right!

[@JohnTBlock]

Sometimes, REVENGE is a dish best served COLD! Store-Bought got all hot, after thinking his cheat won, while little Blackie kept ice cool, in a situation where Heat would've killed all chances. But I'll bet that one throw, with everything you had behind it felt better than Sex on Saturday Night! You just KNEW when you released, his fancy crap was TOAST!! And that is a LOVELY powder horn, Brother! 😂😎🤣😆

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

well lets just say i planed to leave a little mark on his hawk to remember me.. but it went better than i could have dreamed lol

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

I think perhaps "make 'em cry" should have been your name. Because it was your coolness and skill under fire that won the match. Karma showed up that day ! Congratulations...!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks you very much

[@Wheeling88]

We always called the folks yuppie possiers , run into clowns like that @ bike week ,new machine new leathers Actually think you can buy into a lifestyle ...

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yea its more than the gear.... its in your soul and you can see it in their eyes

[@randygalichia]

Just goes to show you, just because it's old and ugly, doesn't mean it isn't still usefull and good, like swartzenagger said in one of the Terminator movies "OLD, NOT OBSOLETE " awesome story Blackie, I could listen to those kind all day long, congrats on your win, like I say no matter how big and bad you think you are, someday, somewhere your going to come across someone bigger and badder than you.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

very true

[@margaretadler6162]

Great story, Blackie! We all have met clowns like store bought. And its always one of the great Joy's in life when someone like him or some bully or someone who thinks they're better than everyone else,finally get their comeuppance! It even a greater joy when you're the person serving it up! CONGRATULATIONS Blackie on your triumphant victory! ATB Sam Adler

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Man i love a good tale . Thats a good one and you did a good job telling it.

[@kevinlott9626]

Great story, Blackie..!!🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@georgeray4985]

Just goes to show looks don't matter, if it's pretty as can be and won't do the job it ain't worth a wood nickel. And honestly I bet that old hawk was better made, because back then failure meant death.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i agree

[@ronaldgreene2759]

Great story!! Had me laughing so hard I was crying!!

[@harwoodblades3633]

Brilliant campfire story..all the best from the north west of England.. Lincoln 🤙👍

[@thetruthhershelcyphers]

Thank You BLACKIE T. !! I DO enjoy your content so.

[@johnbensonism]

That was a great story friend.

[@russelrogers2540]

I would imagine that , out of his hearing, he was referred to as Blowhard. Nice you were able to take him down a notch.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks

[@baronvonzollo5297]

That's a great story. I've always wanted an old workhorse tomahawk like that.

[@cristianpopescu78]

This one was greater than waching a movie! Wow!

[@briarsmoke6046]

Great story! And now we want to know how you got the nickname Blackie.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

[@janetburrows137]

😂 Great story Love. I enjoyed it very much. But there’s always one of them sort of people 😅❤❤❤

[@terryfinley7760]

Good story! I’ve known a few of those “store boughts”! 😂

[@richardabernathy6242]

Sounds like the guys who dress like a cowboy, but wouldn't know a cow if it looked them in the eye

[@kylewilkinson6975]

"That's funny right there, I dont care who you are." Nice story Blackie, I like it when the jerk gets what's coming to em. Victory in the end. Edited: I saw this about a year after its posting but still good to hear it.

[@williamburdon6993]

I was way off , the gentlemans name was Vernon Davis, he made black powder rifles the last I knew about 1985 ? . I just wondered if he ever stayed with it.

[@Takenmynameandmycat]

I’d heard the short version of this in an Oldwayz or one of your other videos. It was well worth the wait for hearing the whole thing.

[@twoowls4469]

Awesome story. Those of us who have been there know those guys!

[@gilgsn]

Excellent story, thank you!

[@bushingcraftingjoe4030]

Great story love to hear about people like that being put in there place. God bless

[@michaelcoulombe4319]

Blackie that was one of the best stories I've ever heard that is so cool most people would actually say all that's a bunch of BS but they don't realize the way you told it it don't get no truer than that I'm sitting here in the mountains of Tennessee and that I've been listening to the story and it's awesome

[@gregknight293]

Wonderful story, Blackie ! The best man truly won big time and I wish I had been there to see it. Just hearing you tell it paints a vivid picture. Well done , Sir !

[@FD_Boss]

That’s a great story Blackie. I actually clapped, lol. You cherish that tool, and the smith that helped you fix it. Nice piece of history right there!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

[@smoothvern165]

That was an AWESOME story!! Way to go, Blackie!!!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Thanks so much!

[@triscotsman8431]

Hey, thanks for sharing. Though always a shame when we have a story that reveals someone in the community is petty or problematic. Seems like regardless you found your people and had the support to continue for years. Still though, fun story for your hawk's name.

[@oldmutt9758]

❤❤❤❤outstanding story

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

glad you enjoyed it

[@fadingmargins]

I should have lit a fire before I pressed play 😉One question, when you remade the hawk, how did you go about lining up those holes in the forge?

[@elishablatt2785]

Thank you Mr. Thomas. You can sure tell a story... Awesome.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

You are very welcome

[@kevinamerio8105]

[@terrancecoard388]

I miss the company of men around a campfire...Great story! The Last Wagon with Richard Widmark came to mind (you remind me of him) and old Store Bought was Walter Matthau. I am willing to bet that his retelling of the story is quite different.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]
