Hello,

First off, I did read most of the rules, & looked for a "meet & greet" section but couldn't find it, or maybe it's not there? So I apologize if this is not the section for introductions. Here we go:

I've been lurking around for a while now, & been wanting to join. Whenever I would look for info on knife/blade related info, I would somehow end up here on the forum, & that says a lot, IMO. So now i'm here, thanks for having me.

I'm a self-employed Jordanian guy, I do well for myself, &.... I have a thing for knives, it started in my late 20s several years ago, & started collecting a few years back. I love watching knife makers do their thing, watched FIF for a while, still watch YouTube videos etc, I respect the skill a lot.

I don't beat my knives, I respect each & every piece, & I have some that I don't use at all, but I love having them. Not a fan of the knife destruction trend on YouTube, especially when they set out to break a knife because it wasn't an axe.

What else, I like sports, exercise, health trends & all that. I don't talk politics, religion, etc

I look forward to learning stuff here, & interacting with all of you nice collectors, makers, mods, manufacturers & others.

Here are some of my fixed blades & their sheaths:

2 Cudemans, MT5 & JJSK1 with their beautiful leather sheaths / A Muela with its crappy & cheap sheath./ A lovely & very sharp Joker Bowie with it's pretty sheath / KA-BAR 1211 with it's awesome hard plastic sheath./ The one & only KA-BAR, that's the single mark (civilian version) with it's plain leather sheath/ / The beast, AKA 5.11 CFK7 with it's Kydex sheath.

Again, thanks for having me, & see you around the forum folks :cool:

Welcome! It’s a good place to find answers about the hobby and to kill time :cool::thumbsup:
I’m not very fond of Spanish knives but that MT-5 looks really good,
I’ll dig for more info about it, I see A-zon carrie’s the brand…
 
General Knife is as good a place as any to introduce yourself. Don't take any of us too seriously: the snark is strong, here. And remember, the answer is always Smatchet.
Thanks! I'm pretty easy going, no worries:cool:
Just don't let this gang start talking you into buying knives. It never ends well...
Well, that's inevitable isn't it? haha, I think that's one of the reasons I joined.

Thanks! The MT5 is just nice you know? Perfect grip, perfect size.
Beautiful knives! Welcome!
Thank you!
Welcome to the forums. Nice introduction and a very nice set of fixed blades.

Now, down to business. Allow us to help you fall down the rabbit hole that is folding knives. Get your credit card out ... :p
Thanks! I actually wish it were that simple, it's not. I can't order them online here in Jordan, they'd be confiscated at the airport. Only licensed shops can import them, & everything I have was hunted down so to speak, not easy, but I kind enjoy the hunt now. I only have my Victorinox hunter pro & couple of $20 Gerber air rangers.
 
Glad you joined…the alternative is no bueno.

Welcome to the club! I had a friend who was Jordanian growing up and I'm half Turkish.

Listen to the advise of not taking people too seriously and keeping hold of your wallet. This place will make you dislike someone and then ask them where to get that knife 10 minutes later.
