Hello From The Alabama Gulf Coast!
I introduced myself yesterday in the Böker forum and found this thread today. My name is Yehuda, it's a religious name from the Bible. I'm a Navy shipbuilder working on the LCS project in Mobile Alabama, a Master Mason and secretary of my Lodge, I lead the music program at my house of worship, married (sometimes happily ) just a regular guy involved in the community. I collect 19th century Alabama obsolete paper money and railroad stock certificates, WWI and WWII era rifles, coins and most recently, pocket knives. I'm a fan of Böker particularly but any well made 'turn of the century' German folding knife catches my attention.

from The Florida Panhandle sometimes known as LA (lower Alabama). Is Yehuda the same as Judah?

How cool. We're neighbors as well! Yes, Yehuda is Hebrew and is pronounced Judah in English. Clever of you to spot that!treefarmer wrote:
