Hello from an American Down Under!

Post by GlennH »

I have carried a pocket knife of some sort since I was about 8 years old. I have always admired the workmanship and quality of a good one. Now, I can really appreciate the ones that are still good, since a lot of the brands I grew up with are no longer Made In USA. Luckily, I still have most of the ones I've carried over the years and even a hand-me-down or 2 from dad and his dad. I'm USAF Retired ('79-'99), and have settled down in sunny South Australia, mainly because this is my wife's home, but it's also not a bad place to be.

I am looking forward to participating in the goings-on here at the forum. Glad to be aboard!

Cheers,
GlennH

Bowling Green, but my family has been in north Logan Co. since before 1815. Before that, Lincoln Co. NC. Lancaster, PA even before that. My 6thG-grandfather arrived in Phila. on the "Pleasant", 11 Oct 1732.

Family history is one of my other hobbies. ::groove::
