I'm just curious.
Many members have come and gone, some post and some don't, and some are new and old. We've all shared our time and interaction in some capacity.
But everyone has a 'knife forum' moment, memory, or something special that they have learned -- or something that has changed how they view/handle/buy knives and, thus, interact on this forum. And this includes that old KF forum too -- it has to. That wouldn't be fair.
So as I drink some Paso Robles wine right now and I am feeling mighty nostalgic, I wonder about this.
Here are some of my moments:
* Larrin and Devin arguing about the merits of AEB-L steel.
* The knife sharpening olympics that Carter won.
* The first time I posted on KF and Salty, Adam Marr, and Dave responded. I was hooked.
* Pensacola's rule about playing with all the toys...or something like that.
* Arriving in Ukraine to find out Dave was banned from KF.
* The first Martell rehandle thread. That was amazing...
* Salty cutting veggies naked with a sock over his 'stuff'.
* Danny's trip to clean up Eamon's crap.
* Jacob/EdipusReks going full-on a-hole when Knyfe had to deal with it. I still love Jacob and Knyfe.
* Fish. RIP.
* Danny. RIP.
* Mario taking care of me in a mosh pit.
* Justin, Chuckles and I spreading some knives out at Pat's Tap.
* The last Chicago road trip.
* The first and only (so far) Midwest Knife Gathering.
* Bill Burke's wolf thread. Ouch.
* Realizing Chef Niloc was crazy.
* Realizing that Salty was simply more amazing than I thought.
And I could probably go on and on, but these are some of the many memories from the top of my head...
If I thought about members: Sachem, Andy, Justin etc. I could think of way more.
Share your own pivotal moments if you wish. All I know right now (while I am drinking) is that I am going to Chicago in a short time and this wouldn't have happened without a forum full of knife crazies.
Cheers.
