"Some people became morbidly depressed after seeing 'Avatar' because they believe our world is dull and lifeless. It may be heading in that direction, but all around you is fantastic nature just waiting to be enjoyed. So if you are one of those people, please just go outside, enjoy, and help preserve what we have left."

Thanks for joining our knife collector community. We've got a good group of knife folks here, as you'll see.
Make yourself at home and if you have any fantastic pics of our outdoor shots (and knives) load them up here for us to see too.
Welcome!

Your cool snow photos give me the shivers. You can download Nessmuk's book on my blog page — hope you have, or will read it.

Hey Alex thanks for joining my group Outdoor Living! Really cool slide show and your snow adventure looked like it was alot of fun, where was it at? It looks like it would definatly be worth a trip where ever it is. Haha I have the same exact Cub Scout pocket knife that my dad gave to me back when I was a Wolf.

Yea it was my first knife as well. A good knife to start with. Yea it looked like it was pretty cold up there but misery is short lived but the memories last forever. I will definatly have to add that to my list of places to hike in the winter.

Agree with you comments on the outdoors. Being retired now, I get up to my little 30ac jungle real often. Boy Scout heaven, and no 4m tall blue goofy people to pester me. Earth is better than any movie world so far.

I have to agree with you in part. . .the Skyline is a great EDC. Which one through?
1760 - Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel with stone-washed finish blade, or
1760DAM - Damascus blade?

If you like your Skyline, I invite you to come and join the Kershaw group. We can always use a few enthusiastic supporters.
