Hello Mina from Beaumont TX...Lars here up in McKinney, TX. While we're not necessarily convenient neigbors, same state counts. Welcome to iKC! We're glad you're here. 

Feel free to browse around and explore some groups of interest - join a few too. Also, feel free to chime in on any discussion threads that suit your curiosity. Got questions? Ask away - always someone around to answer or lend a hand if needed. 

When you have time, add some knife photos or create an albunm or two. We all love to Ooh and Ahh over each other's knives.

Other than that - Have fun!
