Howdy, Zed.

Welcome aboard.  Glad you found us here at iKC.

Welcome, Paul!  It sounds like there's a lot of good in your life, and you're doing a lot of good in the process!  I don't ave a huge collection of traditional pattern pocket knives myself, but there are many here who make them the foci of their collections -- you've found a great place!  Check out the groups, as well as the photos, the discussions, the blogs, and definitely feel free to comment on & contribute to all of them as you'd like!  Great to have you here...
