I'm another new guy here!
I live in the Mohawk Valley in Upstate, NY... engineer by trade, but I spend more time on hobbies: camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, and crafts (I make adirondack packbaskets and creels, mostly). I've been looking to put together a strip canoe over this next winter.
I grow my own hops, brew beer and wine... welded some of my own tanks.
I also spend way too much time fixing up and old house.
I have a few fixed blade knives that I like, but I gravitate towards pocket knives more. They are usually more useful to me in day-to-day chores.
See ya around!
