Hello from Great Britain
on: May 30, 2012, 12:41:49 AM
Hello all,
I've been a lurker here for a while now so thought I would join up.
I spend most of my online forum time on British Blades.
Interested in multitools and knives, my main interest has been in Victorinox Alox but I have been forced to sell most of my collection due to money troubles :( have kept quite a few users though ;) including a couple of mods made by harryf3 :D

Cheers mate...I'm sure she'll treasure it anyway and I imagine it will look pretty cool once its  all worn in about 20 years time ;)

Welcome to the forum  :cheers:

I sympathize with your parting with your collection.  I'm constantly parting with my goodies to fund other ventures (like bills, etc).  That's why these day's I don't own any multitools - I RENT them  :pok:
