Hi from NE Ohio

Post by StrawHat »

Hello Everyone,

I recently found this forum and joined after reading for a couple of months.

I was taught how to sharpen knives by my Father. Been honing those skills for about 5 decades and actually make a living sharpening things for people.

I also enjoy pocket knives and have maybe 30. Mostly Barlows but a couple of trappers, a couple of rope knives and a few miscellaneous others.

My other hobbies are shooting and admiring S&.W revolvers, specifically 45 ACP, N frames with 4” tapered barrels. Also black powder revolvers and rifles.

Thanks for accepting me and I look forward to learning new things.
