I've actually had two Dr's call me wanting to know what e-cig I used to quit with for several reasons 1> They know how addicted I truly was 2> They know how hard I tried to quit 3> They know how little Chantix, Welbutrine and other drug therapies helped me 4> They have patients that are...

Thanks for the warm welcome! Just been perusing zknives.com. Some serios online education to be had at that url!

Looking for an Indiana girl on an Indiana night ... ahh opps .. wrong forum LOL Just joined but I've been receiving solid direction from Dave and Stefan for awhile now. New to Japanese knives and their maintenance but learning as fast as I can. Thx, Dave
