James a memo has gone out there is to be No deep discounting of NFC blanks- (maximum allowance 5%)there is to be strict adherance to MAP pricing. So if ANY dealer is caught discounting they will be put on a 30 day suspension, if a second violation is committed they will no longer be able to be a NFC distributor.

I have a good friend who inadvertently tossed out an old metal tacklebox that had lots of sentimental value to his dad. The box was about 50 years old and the dimensions are 12-14" long, 4" tall and 6" wide. If anyone has one like this and is willing to part .with it, I would be more than happy to purchase it at a reasonable cost, as my friend is trying to replace it with something

I know this is late in coming but since I've been back from the ICRBE , I've been spending time at the hospital with my husband who has had surgery. Kudos to Tom for setting up another great event.

I agree with Jim-mandrels alone do not make a blank. Shikari's doors have been closed for some 7 years or so. Several name companies did take possesion of their mandrels. The ovens and all other items related to building blanks were purchased by a company in CA and were just recently moved from Oklahoma. (They were collecting "dust" for some time). How do I know this, I am very good f

As a former Shikari dealer, i want to say that Stan is correct. There was lots of talk about these blanks but were never made available for sale. There were a few that were sent out for testing but that was about it. I would be highly suspicious of anyone out there offering them for sale. Karen Bingham Enterprises
