upstate, that is, not the city. Wizrd here, knife accumulator, my collection has no definite theme, I just like all things sharp & shiny, kind of like a racoon. (Sometimes they don't have to be shiny.) Have made a few knives from kits & purchased blades. Been making some knife sheaths, leather, for a couple years, mainly for straight knives, starting to get the hang of it. I've been browsing this forum for a while, seems like a decent group here, thought I could learn something by just hanging out a while & studying at the feet of the Masters.
