Newbie here.
Gentlemen, first I would like to thank you all the useful information! I always have been fond of knives, but I just realised my lack of knowledge when I found Bladeforums.com. I learnt a lot from you guys, this place is not only educative, but also a lot of fun!
I owned many knives before, but those were mainly cheap knock-offs, and some mediocre ones (Aitors, Kalashnikov bayonets, SAKs, Gerbers). I'm not a collector, but a serious (abusive? :footinmou ) user, so recently I only use the following 3 blades: a Leatherman Micra, a Cuda quik-action and a Buck Strider Solution. I'm totally happy with these, but I feel the need of buying some more. I know, it's all downhill for me.
I felt it is time to join in the conversation after all those lurking.
