A few months ago, a friend did a blog post about our community. I actually have it saved and revisit it often.

Recently, I asked another friend if her son could join us on here. He is mid teens, a knife enthusiast and just an all around young gentleman.  

Our community is informative, friendly and respectful. Telling Mom about this reminded of the saved post. I do not think I say Thank you to each and everyone of you near enough for creating and sustaining such a wonderful community. Stephen said it best though

I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank you to everyone for making this a wonderful place to call home - for all the folks that like knives. And for the level of kindness and respect that I see us treat one another with.  I dont see us being rude or picking on one another (just in Jest). Keep up the GREAT fun we have here and tell me about your next knife!!
