Hi everyone I am new to the forum and just wanted to say hello. I started reading posts on the forum a few months ago when I was trying to choose my first "good" edc blade. I found lots of great info on this site and ended up with a Kershaw Skyline. I was so happy with that knive that I know own three more Kershaw blades(Blur, OD-1, Leek). I guess you could say that I'm hooked! Oh yeah my name is Frank and I'm from NY:)
 
Hey Frank,

Glad you decided to start posting. Welcome:thumbup:. You already have excellent taste in knives:).
 
Typical confession Frank. It always starts with one knife and this forum. Before you know it, you are a certified knife knut:D Welcome aboard
 
What's up man, welcome to bladeforums.

Stay out of the Busse sub forum or your Wife/Girlfriend/Wallet/Checkbook will begin to hate you.

You have been warned!

I'm Steve by the way, nice to meet you. I just showed my wife a $2,400 custom I want.. she isn't happy at the moment.

Welcome. Kershaws are tough to beat for the price. "Needs Work" was my EDC for about 8 months. Also have a Chive and Junkyard Dog. You will like it here.
 
Hi Frank,

Above poster missed out on... Selamat datang ke BF! That's welcome to BF in Malay/ Indonesian... You're gonna enjoy your stay here but I'm sure you already know that. Lots of reading materials, information and nice folks here. Now... Have you looked at Spydercos yet?

Azad
 
Welcome! Im also new, but I was a flashaholic for a long time. I've been here a month and I already have a Kershaw Skyline, Spyderco Tenacious, and Kershaw Scallion, and I plan to get a Ka-bar Dozier.:D
 
The first step is admitting you have a problem.

My name is Ken, and I am a blade-a-holic...

Welcome, fellow sufferer.
 
:mad: Oh just great, another KERSHAW FANBOY:yawn:....... :(

Just kidding, Kershaw makes some great knives, I am a fan myself. Now, I must run and hide because I hear the mafia moving towards me.

Welcome to the best forum on the net.:cool: Now, I must join the witness relocation program for my above statement.
