Yeah, Mike .. when I first joined .. I used my full name. Then.. like you .. had second thoughts & dropped my surname. Then .. as time passed .. another Dale joined .. then another. That's when I became "D ale". Many think it's a typo .. it is not.

And .. you've some really nice knives. Certainly .. no need to advertise the exact location of their storage.

Enjoy

'n hence
my moniker is simply "D ale" & there's a totally bogus b'date entered & other less than accurate identifying data listed relative to my "personal identifying info". Very very understandable !!!

It's obvious you've an interest in autos .. as do I.
