Dang.....
For my very first post, I was going to mention a freebie knife that I really like. It's small, sharp, and the price was right. It probably won't hold an edge very long, but I can always sharpen it. I have a carbon fiber folder with VG-10 blade that I thought was pretty awesome until I started poking around this forum. I got it from the AG Russell factory store around Springdale.
I do have some awesome knives. You guys wouldn't be impressed, but my grandad gave me a folder every summer when we went to visit him. He's been gone a long time, but I think of him every time I see one of them. He was a knife swapper. I got a couple of his old Hen and Rooster knives after he passed away. They were actually given to him by my dad (long ago), which is really cool.
I joined this forum to learn about knives....because I ran into a guy in northern Arkansass that makes knives (reading here, that's apparently pretty common). This guy wants $300-700 per knife. I thought it might be a deal, but now I'm not so sure. I've seen knives on here for sale that are just as nice, if not even nicer. I didn't know enough to ask what kind of metal he used. Heck, he probably told me and I don't recall because I didn't recognize what it was. Now I feel like I need to call him and ask a lot of questions. He did have a fancy heat treater oven thing. I do remember that he buys the metal and does all his work with a file. He had a lot of handle materials. His last name was Mobbs, if anyone knows anything about his knives.....I'd love a heads up.
I feel like a tool reading these techy questions and answers you guys give. I'm reading as quickly as I can, to gain some knowledge.
If you see me posting some ridiculously newbie questions....please keep walking and just chuckle quietly.
Well, that's my intro. I gotta go read another 3000 threads so I can finally find the ultimate kitchen knife and a small EDC.

Been there of course since I used to live in Garland and Richardson. Welcome. I think you may be able to contribute quicker than you think as there are a lot of sub-forums and it isn't just knives. People don't pick on you unless you contribute something stupid, and then all bets are off. But it is generally in good fun. Read. Relax. Enjoy.
