Hello from Texas

Post by Craigb »

I am another new guy from Texas. I have lurked around here for a while now and figured it was time to say hi. I know I will enjoy my time here. This is the first place I check for information on pocket knives.

I live in Central Texas and am retired. I make slip joints and a lock back once in a while. I will test a photo or two also.

Thanks

Craig

Welcome from SC. I think that is about as perty a knife as I have seen. What would you call that? That drop point main with a not so traditional but traditional secondary blade says Premium Mini Reflex-Deflex Trapper to me. Outstanding.

Welcome, and I have to agree - very nice knife!

Welcome aboard. Grab a rack, stow your gear and report for duty.

Excellent work. I look forward to seeing more. Do you do work for others? There's always room for one more knife mechanic around here.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Jerryd, I do not do any repair work, just work on my own knives.

I will post a few photos in the custom section.

Thanks,
