When I first joined here I was looking for knife reviews of knives that I was interested in and only made posts when I felt the need to like asking a question for instance. I soon settled in and started posting more often and eventually started talking to Ken. He asked me to come join him one night at a local diner with another guy from the forums, Ed. Ken was very nice and friendly when I met him and started talking to me as if I was a friend of his for years. Just lately, I've been starting a real interest in making knives and talking online and even on the phone tonight with Ken he's offered me nothing but help and a sense of humor. I'd just like to say that he's made these past few months feel very warm and at home on the forums for me. Even if I'm only turning 19 in june, and Ken himself at age 33, he's offered me his knowledge and friendship and I'd just like to thank him for makin a kid with a passion for knives not feel like such an odd-ball in this part of the country. Thanks ya' bastid
