Why hello there, KnifeDog Community!!!!

My name is Ian and as you can tell, I live in the New York state, particularly in the Bronx.

I heard of the site from looking at STR's site to look for information, but once i realized how big of community that exists on this forum is pretty awesome!

Please correct me if I am wrong when it comes to blade discussion; I'm relatively new to the scene, but already the matter of a month, I got hooked on knives, particularly folders. So, I am looking to start collecting and hope to be a member. I plan to stay.

If you guys are curious, what I have are the following:

1) RKK Phantom Reflex (Black)
-My very first knife. The dealer, MasterSmiths down on 58th street, did not want it any longer simply because it's A/O. Picked up for a pretty good price. Gonna be prized for a while.

2) Spyderco LadyBug ZDP-189 Racing Green
- My EDC knife. I have a thing for small knives, but this guy will be my friend.
3) Kershaw OD-2
- My dad decided to get it for me (I'm 18, but since he offered it, I could not refuse). It's okay IMO, but since it was from him, I'll keep that for a while.

4) Kershaw "Pink Damascus" Ken Onion Scallion
- Got this from a recent knife show. This one is definitely gonna be seated highly in my beginner collection.

I hope you guys will take me in and help me build a better collection.

Stay SHARP!

Welcome from another new guy from New York :)
I agree with Mark, keep that one forever.

Will do, good sir; since it is from my dad, it is more of an heirloom for the future than anything now. And where in NYC do you happen to be, Ebbtide?

Not a bad start to a collection!

Thank you, ARCustomKnives! Speaking of collections, I added a new and a great step up-- The Fox Deimos. At first the collection as whole may just seem like impulse buys, but I have a lot to learn
I do look forward to generating the funds to create a Spyderco section (Amongst the 3 major brands I plan to collect: Spyderco, Kershaw, and Boker) as well as a section called the "Die-Hards," which will be knives and blades that I have had my eye on a while, no matter what brand, but they have always been seated highly of what I look for in a knife.

The Fox Deimos is definitely the one to start that section.
