"LoL! Too big...that's funny. Well Historical downtown still has a few shops that openly state "We'll Open when we're good and ready to". Glad to have you connect as a Friend as well. "

"We moved there in 1999 from TN for work. I retired, and we moved back to TN to be close to family. My wife and loved McKinney too, although I think it was getting a little too big for me."

That's pretty cool - getting a 60 knife starter collection I mean. Oh...I could talk knives and styles all day. As you get to know your collection more, feel free to scout around and join any of the specialized groups, forums, and chat spots that you may find.

Looking forward to hearing from you -
