Hey all!!
"An idea of who I am", huh?
That's kinda complex
Knife collector- Been collecting knives since I got my 1st Camillus Cub Scout knife at age 9. I like vintage fixed blades. I have recently gotten into collecting pocket knives and hatchets, as well. My favorite knife company is Western Cutlery, Boulder, Co. Member of Bladeforums.com and Iknifecollector.com
Amateur Historian-My area of interest is The Southwest from 1690's-1890's Mostly Northern Mexico and Southern Colorado. I have a summer home in Conejos County, Colorado. My family has been in The Southwest since 1696.
My Great (7X) Grandfather was the 1st "knife trader" in Colorado. From his 1706 diary==>
I'm also pretty well read on The Mountain Man Era. Kit Carson, "Old" Bill Williams, Jim Bridger, Manuel Lisa, etc.

Economist-I got the economics bug my Jr. year in high school. My main area of interests the last few years has been behavioral economics, economics of crime, economic history, macro economics, and financial economics. Knife collecting is a joy to me because it mixes my 2 favorite subjects==> economics and history2thumbs
Photographer- I take pics with my trusty Canon G9. Here is a pic of and old grinder inside Santa Fe Stoneworks, Sante Fe, NM==>
(click on the pic to go to my knife pics on FLICKR)
I like macro shots and night shots.
Musician-I play a Les Paul and do a little singing. I also enjoy plunderphonics and music production/mixing.
Creative Writer-I like to "observe" society and write about it. Sometimes it is borderline rambling though, I admit it!
Amateur Political Scientist-Lately I have been interested in free markets, capitalism, and personal freedoms. I am a Republican Libertarian. Don't worry. I'll keep my political ramblings outta Knifedogs
Collector-I scour thrift shops, antique shops and estate sales. I buy and sell on EBAY. Sometimes I think it is a form of OCD. I found a $60,000 painting at a thrift shop for 69 bucks a few years ago. That is how I got my start. Found quite a few knife gems too.
I collect, among other things, art, vintage tools, books, hatchets, militaria, knives, and anything that is cool and vintage.
So what brings me to KnifeDogs? I want to start making knives someday. I have read books by Goddard, Boye and McCreight. I have alot of "knife buddies" on my Facebook page and they are always talking about Knifedogs.co. So I decided to check it out. I hope to learn more about knifemaking.
