Hello from Upstate New York
on: February 04, 2018, 03:29:42 PM
Which means--NOT the city of New York, but the countryside about 300 miles/ 480 kilometres northwest of the city. Not a lot of people out here, just snow, deer, and coyotes.

Anyhow--I'm LampeDépêche, and I am visiting from the Candelpower Forum where you may have seen my posts about LED lights.

I have always loved Leatherman tools, too, and have owned over a dozen, and gifted about the same number.

SAKs okay with me, too, though I don't use them as much.  In knives, I mostly stick with BM and Spyderco.  Got my first BM a *long* time ago, when they first produced their Emerson-clone CQC (model #870, was it?)

I used to EDC a BM 710 in M2, but I have downsized a bit to the friendlier (and much lighter!) Spyderco UK Penknife.

Anyhow--that's me. Old guy, married, kids grown, still like to play with toys.

Hey, I appreciate all of the responses! A very warm welcome indeed!

Not too close to Binghamton, but closer to that than to NYC!

Welcome to the forum! 

I keep meaning to set up a PO box in Ogdensberg, which is just on the other side of the river from me.  If you are anywhere near that area we should grab lunch sometime!

Welcome, Lamp!

When I was a boy, we moved away from New England to Upstate New York in the Adirondacks. This would have been back in '79. Not too far from the VT border. It was Logging and Dairy country then. Owned my first three Beagles there. Beautiful country. I've long since come back home, but if upstate NY would only vote to become part of New England I'd consider moving back there. I might still someday. Still got family there who stayed behind.
