What is the model of 3 tine most usually buy? I think you can get them through ACE hardware or something?

Brian,  I bought one of Jonathan Irvin's antique 3-tine forks.  They are sweet.  A TON more spring than the newer ones.  From what I understand you can get one of the newer 3-tine forks and grind them down to make them closer to the antique ones.  Come out and throw with me sometime and you can give her a ride...

Yeah, I've got 2 of his sheaves.  15# & 20#.  His forks look nice to.  I think they are the newer union tools forks.

Yes, they are new Union Tool forks. I bend the tines in so
they are straight and I grind them down to a decent point.
My kids wanted to be like me until they met Kevin Neis.
