Hi from South Africa
on: March 27, 2016, 01:32:13 PM
Hi everyone,

I have been an occasional lurker for some time, but find myself browsing this forum often recently, so it was time to register. I am also registered on BF and the Spyderco forum.

I am a long time pocket knife and multitool user. Got my first SAK classic about 30 years ago when I was about 7, and was hooked to pocket knives and tools ever since.

I've been carrying version of the alox Pioneer daily for about 20 years, currently it's the Pioneer X. I also like my Spydercos, and usually pair a SAK and a Spydie as EDC.







An original Wave lives in my car, and I bought a Rebar a while ago for my EDC bag. I have a Knipex Cobra 125 and its brother the pliers wrench on order, thanks to this forum, to keep the Rebar company...

Happy to be here, see you around!
Hans
