When people say they check the forum at work. and stuff I assume they are office people. But most knife people I know work outside or in other things that are dirty jobs.

They also don't like computer's
The reason I ask is, are the people on this forum the average knife person or not?

I am a electronics tech. in maintenance in a factory. They make filters(if you ever bought anything from autozone you got stuff from us we supple all of there filters)

I would like to know what you all do. Some of you are full time knife makers but what about the rest?
 
I'm a:
1. Part time knifemaker
2. Bank President
3. Mayor of a small Texas city
4. Commercial pilot with instrument, multiengine flight instructor rating
5. Doting grandfather

Not necessarily in the above order.

Well, I can't compete with the above, but I'm still a knife lover, CPT in the United States Army and an expecting father.

I use to have a great job in a SF unit doing all kinds of "fun" stuff for Uncle Sam, but I'm currently a pencil-pushing Training Officer.

I got interested in the benchmaking of knives a couple years ago when I said to myself " I think I can do this ". However, to pay the bills I am a meteorologist at National Severe Storms Laboratory where I help develop warning decision support tools for the National Weather Service. I also do applied research regarding the identification of severe weather and tornadoes using Doppler radar. Computers (i.e. there use)are a large part of my work thus no techno-phobia here. Also, along with my wife, expecting our first child.

I'm a salesman for a major appliance manufacturer. I travel a lot and that's why I carry my Spydie Endura II daily.

I was previously a gun nut, but with the spiraling prices of handguns here in the Philippines, I decided to shift to knives. Besides, I can't order a Glock over the net, can I ;-) ?

I'm into collecting knives (both old and new autos find a home in my display cases) and have a lot of fun tracking them down at knife/gun shows, knife club meetings, and especially here on the Net.
