Hiyo,

Well let me start by saying, holy crap what a large forum this is!

I come from a flashlight forum as I also collect flashlights.
Always loved knives since I was a kid, started with my first Victorinox.
Later bought my first Buck 327 Nobleman, which was the go to brand in the Netherlands if you didn't want Mtech crap.
Guess I was 16 at that time and I still have it over 18 years later!
Since then I bought some Spyderco's and did a mod on three of them.
with stonewash, acid+stonewash and acid+boiling in vinegar+stonewash.

My latest addition is a Benchmade griptilian 551SBK.

I don't really use my knives, as carrying a knife in public can get you into trouble here + you'd lose your knife.
Also I don't have money to burn and hate scratching my little darlings up.
I do have a Leatherman Wave, that I use a lot around the house.
My collection of 12 knives all hang on two magnetic strips against the bedroom wall.
Mostly I just look at them or take one off the wall and admire how it is made, clean it or dust it off.
I do sharpen my knives for which I use a Ken Onion Worksharp.

Any ways here to saying "hi"
