But yea - as my bio states, I love antique swords....when I can't afford a sword, I shop for a bayonet - and when I can't afford that, we swing for the knives!

Yea...that's how most everyone discovers the place...me included a few years back. This is probably one of the funnest, cleanest, and most enjoyable hobby sites I have seen and been a part of. When they talk about this place being a "community", it really is!

You'll see a bunch a regulars, then quiet for a while, then we all get excited over someone's latest find and ooh and ahh over it. I think it's great. Even my junk stuff gets praised - which never hurts the Polish ego.

So lemme ask a question here....your name has an L in it, so does mine. You have a bird representing you...so do I in the form of my family coat of arms emblazoned on the Imperial Polish eagle. Are you my long lost brother? :-)

And that my friend is the kind of shenanigans that goes on here when not showing off your latest knife.

Enjoy!

This is normally where I would extend some hospitality and say something like "feel free to browse around and explore the different groups"...but I see you already did that. And what, joined 10 of them. You da man! :-D

And I see you're based in Dallas...we're neighbors! Well, almost anyway, maybe 30 miles apart kind of neighbors.

If after you reached the end of the internet and discovered everything iKC has to offer and you still have questions, feel free to ask away. Always someone around to lend a hand. Looking forward to seeing you on the boards...
