I just joined a few minutes ago - about 9AM Pacific Standard Time - and thought I'd introduce myself.
I am halfblood Choctaw, I was born and raised in the South, and I spent much of my youth and young(er) adulthood roaming the woods and swamps. My father, who was born in a log cabin in north Mississippi, taught me a lot of outdoor skills and etc. While he was in the Army (ETO, WWII), he made knives for himself and other soldiers. I still have a couple of them, and my sister has the butcher knife and cooking fork he made for our mother. While I don't have his skill, I acquired a real love of edged implements (tools and weapons).
I came across this forum when running an internet search for "Gerber BMF", because I'm developing a definitive history of the BMF and original LMF knives. I liked what I saw thought I'd stay a while. I'll probably be sitting on the sidelines at first, getting acquainted with the board and its posters.
Regards,
