Wow, it is hard to believe that the first quarter of 2009 is almost history!

 We got off to a fast start with the Dallas Safari Club Show, followed by SCI in Reno and ending with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation’s Elk Camp in Ft Worth, TX. I want to thank Katie Gianoli, Chad Karlson, Teresa Malone, Charlie Beecherl, Joe Martin, Johnny Koons and Bill Godbold for the professional sales assistance at these shows. Their efforts were greatly appreciated! Of course we cannot forget to thank Dave DelaCour for providing us with our own ”personal security.”

Look for new Editions by David Yellowhorse that either are or will soon be featured at www.hcknives.com The Mustang Ranch by Yellowhorse, and Chris LeDoux by Yellowhorse, both 100 piece Editions, are available for the David Yellowhorse collector. Of course our last in the series, RMEF2009 by Yellowhorse, the stunning 25th Anniversary Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Commemorative has been a hit with all the Yellowhorse/RMEF collectors who have seen it. This is the Commemorative that is accented with a 25th Anniversary medallion minted at the historic Carson City Mint on Press #1. This is the press that minted the highly collected CC Silver Dollars, and our coin features that mint mark!
