Hello everyone, new here, but not to steel. I've been collecting and using steel since I was given my graduation present of a VSAK Huntsman after graduating from US Army Infantry school and jump school in 1977. I went to Germany on my first tour and saw and fell in love with Puma and Boker knives. Well the rest is history. I do have more Puma's than any other brand, but I'm always open to other makers.
I'm retired US Army, married with two children and three cats. I've spent two years in Iraq working for the USACOE destroying Saddams ordnance. Was injured twice by carbombs, and now am disabled. So my time is spent working in and around the house, shooting, and playing with my knives. Well thats all for now. Glad to be here, and I hope to get to know some folks!!
