Hi from NE Ohio
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.

Howdy StrawHat! to AAPK from the Florida Panhandle. Do believe you must have a few things in common with most of us.

Re: Hi from NE Ohio
Welcome to AAPK Kevin, you're gonna like it here. Your occupation sounds like it might offer some opportunities for new knives and such.
