Thanks for having me on the site. I registered today because I keep finding myself back here every time I have a knife question, or even just to cruise the site.
Seems there are some REAL experts here, I will not claim any title other than I love the craftsmanship, utility, history and overall pleasure in owning some of my knives. I have had some for many years, and recently have been picking up one or two. My most cherished are ones that have been owned by family members.
I also have a small collection of razors, starting with my Great Great Grandpas, blade stamped "The Celebrated" which he whittled a cover for complete with a nail for the pivot pin (I imagine after the original cover was worn or broken). I also have several of my Grandfathers including his leather strap, he was a barber so I have his scissors and a hand operated set of clippers. Clear to my fathers "Safety" razor from his service in WW2.
Anyway, enough of the blah, blah, blah. I enjoy knives and plan on learning much from all of you.

Yes, the items with some sort of sentimental value attached to them often become the most cherished possessions!

Welcome aboard, Frequency!
Quality should not be an accident. So what is the explanation for some of the knives we've seen in the past few years? (from A Knifebuyer's Manifesto)
