Favorite Kind of Knives: auto opening & fixed blades..I love colorful, fancy knives and especially bowie knives that I can wear with my six gun rig....Stag handles are great, I just love so many and so much about them!

About Me: Disabled & retired at this point..started own business to help other disabled people.. One does not always need to be making "tons" of money to be successful. Decided to teach firearm safety & CCW classes. I also have a bachelor's in Business Management, a master's in Organizational Managment & have 3 classes & 1 dissertation paper to go for my doctorate in Management & Leadership.

Interests: I love to help people with their needs for completing paperwork for social security disability, insurance, etc. It makes me happy to know that I was able to help them solve a problm which was keeping him/her from obtaining his/her benefits, etc.. it does feel good to help people.

So, I started a consulting business to help people with paperwork and appeal letters and anything related. It's not paying the bills yet but hopefully I will be successful at it. I did find a big niche for the help I offer. I just need to be able to promote myself better.

Other Hobbies: Shooting, used to play drums & guitar in a band until disability stoppedm me..try to play guitar once in awhile. Love to play video games on the xbox - war games and shooting games especially.

You feel free to use iKC here as your "going to knife shows" I am always looking for folks who enjoy and like our community. :)

Appreciate it. Do you go typically get to any knife shows, or pretty much stick to gun shows?

Commitment.” Put simply, the company says it wanted to make as many knives as
possible in its Post Falls, Idaho, plant. The idea was to greatly reduce offshore
outsourcing, which, at its peak, totaled about half of all the manufacturer’s knives."]

I checked out my usual buddies: GunBroker.com, Cimarron, Glock, Springfield, NAA, Taurus, etc. Went over to have Gunny autograph the photo I took of us at the 2008 show and then took a new pick at this show. Springfield has a new XD coming out in a 3.8 barrel..that was my fav. Some of the new rifles that are coming out from Marlin are too good looking and of course the law enforcement/tactical section had rows of cool new stuff for your AR15 and such. the only bad thing about it is - you cannot buy anything...LOL..well some booths do sell some stuff but not the guns unless you are a dealer placing an order. Went to check out what new ammo is coming out...Corbon and Winchester both feel the "scramble" is over (for now at least) and the ammo shortage will start to slow and eventually disolve...the show is going to be here in Vegas for the next 5 years...I am so excited!!!

At 15:57 on January 24, 2010, Jill Klies said…: Thanks guys...I am glad to have found this group....another place for me to do what I love best - TALK....
