Good Evening.
It is I, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL VAMPIRE GERBIL!
Not2, how dare you post and attempt to limit me to answering only three questions?

I am quite unable to limit myself, since there are a multitude of personalities screaming inside my skull, while others sing Tibetan chants deliberately off key!

I am 40, and will be 40 on July 21, 2000.
I realize that I seem much older and wiser, but that is due mostly to experimentation with chemical substances in my youth.
(Note to the youths: While pouring Windex on a sheet of wax paper, letting it dry in the sun, and smoking the crystals can make you feel really good for a couple of weeks, be warned, it can cause acne.)

I am somewhat confused by question #2.
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">2) Which knives do you like (see below)</font>
Click to expand...
I have been staring below for 30 minutes now, and all I see is a shrivelled mass of flesh staring back at me with 4 bloodshot eyes.
Don't see any knives there, but if those frikkin' eyeballs keep staring at me, there's gonna BE one there pretty damned quick!!!
I like switchblades... screw the "auto" euphemism! I like a knife that goes "click" and scares grandmothers outta their support hose and sensible shoes!
I am a humanitarian.
Oh, I just saw that question 2 has 1 part.

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">2) Which knives do you like (see below)
a) traditional fixed blades</font>

That blurs things up for me considerably.
(If anyone sees this post and it has more than one part to question #2, Not2sharp caught the fumble and fixed it.
We all have to live up to our names, I suppose.

ANYhooo.... since I have only one choice at this time, that being fixed blades", please allow me to change my answer to:
SWITCHBLADES!

Thank you for having me.
Love,

1) 26

2) Custom fixed blades and art knives

3) General, Community

4) Too many (the computer's always on while at the office)
 
Hey folks.

1) Age 39

2) Which knives do you like most?

This is a toss up between traditional fixed blades and tactical knives. Although I admit freely I've never met a knife I didn't like for some reason or another.

3) What forum are you usually on?

I spend the bulk of my time in the General Fourm, although I check out the Gadgets & Gear threads as often as I can.

4) How many hours a week do you spend on
this site?

I would guess somewhere around 8-12 hours a week. I love this site! And the great folks who frequent it!

I'll play, I'm kind of curious as to how many people post here?

I'm 52
If I have to pick just one it would be Traditional Fixed Blades (Bowies, Hunters, Daggers)
I'm usually on General, you mean there's other Forums?
12-15 hours a week, down from 12 hours a day.
That's not counting the time I spend on Chat.

1.) 21/s/w/m looking for small cuddly rodents with little black cape fetishes.

2.)tacticles...balisongs & autos preferably

3.)General...balisong and automatic

4.)too many
 
... Can't wait to see how many people post here! Should be interesting. How many pages would 10k of replies take?

My age is 32. I've run the gammut of knife liking coming here initially looking to see a picture of the 'BALLISTIC KNIFE' and honing my appreciation and taste from there. Since VG was the one who showed me the picture of the ballistic knife, you can all see what a challenge it has been...

I try to make it to all the Forums to lurk and sometimes post if I feel I can contribute. I'm usually on somewhere around 15-20 hours a week.

I'm older than you are.

I follow the Exchange, General, and Community forums, and check out Emerson, Reeve, Spyderco, REKAT, and an occasional other forum when they have new knives coming out.

I like knives I can use. Nothing stays NIB around here for long. I got a lot of Cold Steel over the years because they are cheap to start with and hold up pretty well. Now I like the look of Spyderco and Benchmade, and I'm looking at ambidextrous tacticals more than linerlocks. Of course, recent acquisitions like Sebenza and SOCOM Elite are in a class by themselves.

I spend a lot of time online, switching off between knife sites and news sites and websearches on anything off-the-wall I come across. Maybe two to four hours here.

This forum is great. I wish the people on the rest of the web were as much fun to talk to.

I am 45. Spend most of my time in General and it is way too much. Do not have a favorite knife. If it is well made, I like them all from slip-joints to tactical to high tech to art (folders and fixed).
