Crazy Horse Memorial
Black Hills, South Dakota 
Crazy Horse 2
 Greetings!

On August 19, 2009 visitiors to Crazy Horse Memorial witnessed one of the largest blasts in the history of the project.  The blast removed 4362 tons from the 300 bench.  The 300 bench represents work being done 300 feet below the top of Crazy Horse's head.
 
Blasts of this magnitude have been very rare in the projects' 61 year history.  To provide some perspective, 4362 tons is the equivalent of 363 dump truck loads of rocks!
 
For a part of Crazy Horse history, check out Crazy Horse II by Yellowhorse, #DY/CHII/HH, at www.hcknives.com.  This commemorative officially licensed by Ruth Ziolkowski of the Crazy Horse Foundation is a custom Buck Mini Alpha hunter and belt buckle designed and hand crafted by Navajo Artist David Yellowhorse.  We still have a few of these Limited Editions available.  Call or email us for preferred customer pricing on this stunning piece of Navajo artwork.
