Howdy from a newbie!

Post by Double W knives »

Hello everyone, My name is Keith Williams and I just joined this site on August 27. I live in rural southwest Oklahoma where we still love God, the Bible, our freedom and our true President! My wife and I decided to leave corporate America a few years back and now we are totally self-employed...meaning that we work now more than we ever did for The Man but waaay so much more liberating lol! From some of the posts that I've read, y'all are some very knowledgeable and friendly folks. I think that not only will I learn a lot from reading your posts, I will be entertained as well (some of you are hilarious!).

Over the last couple of days, I've perused the website, kicked the tires a little, asked the Admins a few questions to get me on the right track and now I've even got some listings created under the name of Double W knives. If I do something I shouldn't or should do something I a'int, then y'all please feel free to whoop me back in shape, after all it takes a village...

I look forward to e-meeting a bunch of y'all! ::handshake::

Welcome to the friendliest site om the internet. Join us in the morning for a cup at the First Cup Diner. I live in the North woods on Minnesota and there isn't a diner close enough for me to actually go to one, so I grab a cup and meet up with friends form all over to discuss the day ahead and hear what's actually happening all over the country and a few places outside . These guys have been great at helping me figure out what I have when I buy something weird and can't figure it out from my reference books or when I waste money on something I should have left on the table.____Dave

Welcome to AAPK Keith, from a neighbor in Texas. Glad to have you here. Recommend you do a couple of things if you haven’t already, just to get better acquainted with this wonderful forum. Go to the forum homepage https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_forum/, and take a look at what all is available here, the different sub-forum topics, etc. While you’re there open the AAPK Tips & Tricks section and find the tutorial about how to post pictures, and a lot of other helpful info about how to do things here. You may have to scroll down to find the thread with instructions for your device software (Android, Apple, PC, etc). Poke around - you won’t break anything (at least I never have!) :lol:

Click on Quick links (upper left of this page) where you’ll find the Search capability, that lets you type in a keyword and find all the posts about it. Handy for researching knife brands, and all sorts of stuff.

Last but not least I think you’ll find the history of AAPK to be an interesting read. ::tu:: https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... =2&t=58174
