Title: What is up with the Harold Fowler mystery wood Striker?
Post by: bornagain64 on April 25, 2019, 04:44:21 PM
I have a few of his strikers, and have heard he is a great guy. So I would like to have some more.
He has been sick and has stop taking orders, so please pray for him.

Well I purchased an Osage top/ mystery wood striker from a member on here.

Does anyone know what is up with his mystery wood striker?
Seems strange to call it that. All I can think of is he did not know the name
Or he wanted to keep it a secret.

  Thanks, John

If for some reason you don't like it, I know a guy that would take it off your hands

IMO it would be wise for all of us who are fortunate enough to own one of Mr. Harold's strikers to guard it jealously. I know I double check mine before I move in the woods.

Mystery wood will remain a mystery since Mr Harrold has passed . I knew him for over 30 years , sit with him at many shows and Visited him at home and he never would tell me what it was he said its a secret, so I won't ever ask Derrick ( if he even knows ) . But I have asked him to continue making the strikers, change the design slightly or not just keep them going . especially since he is retired now .

I have the same Osage/snakewood striker from Mr. Harold. Might be my overall favorite and I have more than a few strikers. Mr. Harold practically gave me a second one for a gift for my childhood friend with whom I hunt. That`s the kind of guy he was. We are all the lesser with his passing.

Do you have a pic of the mysterywood? It was always nice to see what he would send extra.
