Greetings from Another Kentuckian

Greetings. My name is Tom and I live in Northern Kentucky, about 12 miles south of Cincinnati. I am not a collector, more of an accumulator. I not only accumulate pocket knives, but I also accumulate Zippo lighters, a few musical instruments (way too expensive) and anything else I see that I like and can afford, there's a lot of neat stuff out there. I am retired and spend most of my time just hanging around the house. I am a semi-pro. Bluegrass guitar player and this sort of finances my accumulating.
That is me, and now you. Your forum is one of the most entertaining and informitive forums I've been on. Seems like a lot of nice people with a lot of good information, and, your research pages are the best. And so far, none of the moderators have insulted me, like one of the other forums. Anyway, thanks for having me.

Greetings Twoshoes
Don't know if you are familiar with hand engravers or not, but here is a pic of a sterling silver Zippo that was engraved by Joseph. Joseph is his full, legal name. He was chief engraver for Winchester Repeating Arms Co. and when he retired, his tools went into the Cody Museum. Really neat fellow.

I'm not really the smartest guy when it comes to hand engravers, custom knife makers or anything like that. But I love to learn. And thats one heck of a lighter.
