Knife Related Avatar Backstory

[norcalAF]

So my avatar backstory is pretty simple. They are some of my favorites in my SHF collection. I'd love to hear about your backstory .

 

[Mk-211]

If you've read the book Unintended Consequences, you'll understand mine.

A member on another forum drew it, he did a lot over the years.

Mine is from "Dark Knight" where they empty the Joker's pockets and just find knives and lint.

Mine is pretty simple, much like me. An old man in a rustic restaurant with license plates from around the country in the background, which kinda tells the story about all the places I have been, starting out as an Army brat, then a Sailor and then a world traveler who installed, trained and repaired machines that were for glass containers. Some places were nice, some not so nice, all gave memories that I will never forget.
Photo was taken by my middle daughter, who is quite gifted and an exceptional tattoo artist in constant demand. The previous avatar was a younger version of me, not as grey back then so I felt a more recent photo was due.

Knife content…there were several knives in various pockets not visible in the photo, but rest assured…they were there

How long are we supposed to keep our avatar?

I can't remember what I had before, but this was some early work, rougher, crude, and I Love it.

Mine is self explanatory. I may not have the biggest collection of Howard Hitchmough knives on the planet but I have one of the nicest...........

Mine is simple; It is the very first MiniGM knife Geno denning made. I was having a conversation with him about small hunters and that while I loved his GM's I did not care for his small one that he called the CoonSkinner. I suggested a downsized GM model and I think Geno nailed it. Geno told mt this was the first made and the first knife he ever marked prototype. He suggested ivory but I thought stag as I am not really an ivory guy.

Mine is my favorite folder. The Benchmade 635 Mini-Skirmish that has been modified by Tom Krein. He straightened out the recurve & reground it to a 0 grind. I only need to strop it. Funny thing about this knife is it's only one of two knives I have that have a tip down clip. I normally hate tip down, but it works with this one. I've had this for well over 15+ years & the PB washers are so smooth. It just glides open

Well this might be a stretch but here goes.
My avatar is six coins, The symbol for the Sanada Clan(Nagano region of Japan).My Wife is Sanada, so much so that She played on the old foundation of the main castle when She was little. My collection consists mainly of Japanese knives to pass on to the Kids. Al Mar, Hattori and G Sakai.
Gary W. Graley made a outstanding custom sheath for one of my G.Sakal.
I've got some Italian, German and a David Mary for me.

Mine is a picture of the wonderful creations by two our own: knife by David Mary, sheath by Coleman of Sharp & Fiery.

My previous avatar was of the Active Duty which I won in a naming contest run by Busse Combat a couple of decades ago.

My username on a knife forum is oldmanwilly. My profile pic is Groundskeeper Willy holding a knife. I like knives and satire. I thought it was a good fit.
