Just figured i would introduce myself. I have been lurking around for quite a while, and enjoy the discussion of traditional knives here. I live in New Hampshire, and am a welder. I enjoy my carbon steel pocket knives and kitchen knives. Any ways i would like to thank you guys for all i have all ready learned here, and i hope i can add something. Joe
 
Welcome, Joe.

Hope you don't mind that I stole your license plate motto for a sig line. ;)

(Well, at least I have family in Keene and have spent a lot of time in the White Mountains, so I come by it honestly.) :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the warm welcome. Blues, its nice to see people in other parts of the country using a good old motto like "Live free or die". Shawn, I live in a small town next to Manchester. Good to see a fellow New Englander on here.
 
welcome joe. i'm a lurker and part time poster. this part of bladeforums is a great getaway from the rest of the folks. its like my summer home.. I live in Chincoteague VA now, but Massachusetts will always be home to me. we're neighbors too :)

now i need to find some places that carry good carbon steel bladed slippies down on the delmarva penninsula :D

any leads guys?

(i like hijacking threads for my own devices:D j/k)
 
Glad to have you join us ck!
 
Welcome Joe!

I'm from your neck of the woods. I was born in northern MA and moved to NH just as soon as I could get out. ;) Bought my first house in Manchester, on the west side right near the Bedford line (Glenwood Ave). Still have some nice memories of that area. There was even a decent Mexican restaurant right around the corner in Goffstown. Such were practically unheard of in New England in 1982.

thanks again for the warm welcome every one, i am glad i finally posted. ParaGlock, yeah we really are from the same neck of the woods i live in Goffstown. Things haven't changed too much all around these parts. Joe
 
Welcome Joe,
Glad you are here amongst us. Being a welder by trade do you happen to dabble in knife making to any degree? Some other fellow forumites here in the same trade do and I just thought I would ask the question.
 
thanks for the welcome once more. Sunnyd, it was actually an interest in knives that got me in to metallurgy and welding. I mess around with fixing, and re handling old knives for my self and my buddies to use as well as making knives, by stock removal as well as forging. I have built 2 forges, one gas one charcoal , i am working on finishing my 2nd charcoal forge. Any ways all the knives i fix are either old slipjoints, or old butcher knives / cleavers. and the ones i make are traditional as well. thanks again for the wonderfully warm welcome. Joe

Another NH home boy!

Very cool. I'm over in Hudson, and work in Manchester. I see a knife field trip in my future.

Welcome!
