Like Tko stated, the beauty of this thread is we now know for next time! If you are ever in Denver I have 3 fantastic microbreweries and a whiskey distillery pretty much within walking distance of my place.
For me it's a little surprising because we hear so many grievances from folks outside the US regarding the hoops they have to jump through to participate in this hobby. The biggies being local & national knife laws, import issues, inflation, and lack of established dealers on a BHQ/KC/DLT level. Its great that y'all find ways to overcome to join us in :spyder: greatness. Even the Aussies! :p :D
Hey Darby, I wasn't trying to single you out! Plus you gave a very valid reason with your past experience. There's always some odd balls out there. Can't blame youbearfacedkiller wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 9:20 pmI will reply since I was the outspoken one about my anonymity. I have made many friends on here and on bladeforums. I have met dozens of forumites in person and communicated with many in other ways including email, PM, FaceTime and phone calls. I have also bought and sold with quite a few on here. There are many forumites who know where I live. I like to think that I have made some great friends online through this hobby.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 14, 2018 8:20 pmCool thread here! Could bring forum members that live fairly close to one another to meet and form real friendships! Find it a bit odd with those being secretive...i don't see this being the place for someone to try and hunt someone down to cause harm. Great thread Sal!
That said, this is still the internet. Nothing wrong with being cautious in my opinion. I have openly shared my real name so I am not being too secretive.
The UK has some dumb laws, but most of EU is not bad. In my country most things go as long as the folding knife is no longer than 11 inches and only sharp on one side of the blade. This is huge compared to what most Americans can carry :p. Automatics and butterfly knives are forbidden though.KnickKnackCity wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 8:55 amFor me it's a little surprising because we hear so many grievances from folks outside the US regarding the hoops they have to jump through to participate in this hobby.

I have been into trucks and off-roading for many years. I have also met some good people through automotive forums. The off-roading forums are a bit different than these forums in that they organize trail rides where forum members get together. Forums where people have met face to face tend to have a great vibe. Probably due to the lack of anonymity.TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 15, 2018 9:01 amHey Darby, I wasn't trying to single you out! Plus you gave a very valid reason with your past experience.

I just thought this was a great idea overall that's all. I actually met one of my best friends througha car forum about 10 years ago from a thread similar to this. Hoping others could have the same kind of luck as I had!
