an introduction

Post by DREX »

Hello, I've been lurking around here for a while now, and I find a lot of "like-minded" people here. I really enjoy your posts and replies. The knowledge here is awesome, you guys really know your stuff! I am 39 years young, an electrician by trade, and an avid (wannabe)switchblade collector. I currently own 1 Microtech UDT (with a busted spring :( -) , 2 11 in. Italians, 1 with a dagger grind and swirly black and yellow handles, 1 criss blade with brass bolsters and rosewood handles. I also have this really cool old lockback stilletto that looks like an auto but it isnt. Its just like this one http://bladeauction.com/cgi-bin/osa/Vie ... ber=725202 only mine is 11 inches long. Ive had this one since i was a kid. I just won a new L-UDT on BA. I definately think i'm a certified "microholic" lol. Well I'll stop blabbering now. Nice to meet you all!! And thanks for all the great info.

I am not just a misfit, I'm not just a nitwit. Flicking knives I won't quit, why don't I fit in...

Welcome.

Stepdaddy no one wants a Charlie in the box. They also don't want a 15'' kriss that opens backwards only halfway.

Welcome Drex
"Home" was once described as anyplace where if you have to go there, they have to take you in. I think that's why some of us are here. It's easy to find a seat here, as soon as someone gets up to get a beer grab his seat and let him look for another when he gets back.
