Hello from Michigan
I'm new to this board, but not to pocket-knives...I've been carrying one with me almost everywhere since I was 12. This year, I decided that since I have a compulsion to collect stuff, why not collect something useful? It started with Swiss Army knives, and I got my first Case knives today. Other brands might find their way into my collection, too. Looking forward to learning more, and glad I've happened upon this site.

Re: Hello from Michigan
to AAPK Dan. Spend time and look around all the different forums here and you will find a lot of very good knife information and history. There are some very good people here that know a lot about knives and are willing to share.

Re: Hello from Michigan
Thanks, gentlemen! My time here has been brief, but I've already learned quite a bit and will doubtless learn much more.

I have a nickname for her, but I'm a little hesitant to repeat it.
Thanks again to all for the welcomes. This is a great community!

Welcome Dan! My mother-in-law is originally from Michigan and my wife still has some family up there. Beautiful state for sure. Glad to have you aboard!
