New Guy From Illinois
on: January 11, 2015, 05:39:12 PM
Just joined this morning. I`m located about 30 miles from Chicago, and have lived in the same town for 59 of my 61 years. I`m a knifemaker by trade, but also make a keychain or pocket multitool. Looking forward to reading more on this forum.

I would enjoy posting some pictures, but most forums frown on the maker posting his own knives, they say it`s advertising.

We had to implement a No personal messages for members with under 5 posts rule a few months back due to spammers herassing out members over PM. --> New members and Private Messages (PM)


You should be able to send PMs in just two posts. :hatsoff:

Welcome! The rules are strict at first. But they work.

This forum is pretty lenient (sp) after only a few days! As  long as you establish yourself properly your set!

I look forward to pictures!
