Hello M. Dwight Sweezy - welcome to iKC! If I were to risk a guess and connect the dots between your profile interests and years of collecting, I bet your blade collection is amazing - possibly representing all your interests in a knife or two. 

If you haven't started already, feel free to browse around and explore - there is much to absorb here. Join a few groups, add some comments, write a blog - and above all - post some pics! We all love to Ooh and Ahh over everyone's knives..  :-)
