Hello from North Georgia
on: January 12, 2015, 12:02:35 AM
Hello, my name is Casey and having read a bit here over the years I finally joined.

I was born, raised and live in a rural area and as such have carried a pocket knife since I was very young. For much of that time it was a SAK, starting with a Wenger and then Victorinox models for the last twenty years.
I often have a one handed opening folder clipped to my pocket (usually a Delica) and/or a Leatherman on my belt, but I don't leave the house without a SAK in my pocket.

My family and I enjoy a variety of outdoor activities and spend most of our free time in the woods or on the water.

I look forward to learning, sharing and hopefully contributing in some way to the community.

Thanks for having me,
                            Casey

My favorites are the Hiker and Camper. I carried a Hiker for years, after swapping from a Super Tinker. Then I decided to give the Camper a try and carried it for a while. Now I just grab one of the two out of my desk in the morning.
Occasionally I carry a Huntsman or Spartan.

I'm in NW Georgia and only get down to Atlanta a couple of times per year at most.
I'm not a fan of the Varsity. I've only eaten there a couple of times but was never impressed with the place.

North Georgia huh?  I was in a small town called Dalton a number of years back.  It was awful pretty down there, but it wasn't hard to play "Spot the Canadian" as I was walking around in t-shorts and jeans while everyone else was huddled up in parkas!

I've driven through there before. A friend of mine used to buy all kinds of oddball vehicles he found in the Georgia/Alabama/Tennessee Trader books (pre Craigslist. After Craigslist took off he got really crazy with buying and trading cars).

Often I would ride with him to drive the new purchase back. It was a lot of fun.
