I started on rec.knives, then knifeforums, and here. Not sure what day in November, but seems like 4-5 weeks after it started up.
I have been interested in, and buying, collecting knives for 50 years, but the last 10-12 years have been the most enjoyable. Knives have come a loooong ways since I started when I was 8 years old.
God being on the forums is alot of knife buying, selling, trading under the bridge!!!! Has been costly, but fun, and continues to be so.
Have met some great people on these forums, and always enjoy reading them. Like the newspaper, something new everyday.
Being retired, I read these forums 2-4 times a day, and keeps me entertained, and mostly out of trouble with the wife seeing as how she is a knife knut also. But it does get costly for us sometimes especially buying for two. Kinda like the knife show in Eugene we are going to next week.
Looking forward to reading, buying, selling, and trading on these forums way into the future.
One last thing, I wish Mike Turber all the best in his future endeavors, and hope he still keeps input on these forums.
Too all it is a pleasure being on here.
Larry
PS- Sorry about the short story, just remembering back I guess.
