I just want to introduce myself to this forum. I am a 58 year old man living the dream in Central Florida. I grew up in Western N.Y. and lived and worked there for 52 years. After shoveling 7ft. of snow I deceided that I needed a change so I took an early out and found paradise. I have been collecting knives since 1966 when my Father gave me my first two knives which happened to be an Ulster Boy Scout knife and a Buck 110. Since then I have filled several cabinets and a bedroom with an assortment of beauties. As for autos my interest started when I bought a couple of kit knives from EDGECO back in the late 70's early 80's that I still have today. Now I have a couple of dozen automatics and switchblades from the low end cheapies from China, that I beat the heck out of, to an AB stag Damascas Leverlock and an Eig Cutlery picklock a few Hubies and an AKC Classic stiletto for good measure. My EDC now is a scale release V&D D/A auto with a 3" AUS10 blade and Zytel scales.
You guys will see that as a forum member I mind my own business and I'll try to help out when I can. I'll post some pics when I can but most of all I plan on learning from the people I see in here. It looks like there are some very astute members in this forum. Thanks for your time reading my dribble.

Hello and Welcome wazu013,

Any place where you are in Florida to get good wings Mr. W.? To bad the Anchor Bar doesn't deliver. I hope you're still a Bills fan. Do you mind if I axed which part of W. NY you lived at?

I am from the Town of Tonawanda which is a suburb North of Buffalo. I found the Wing House down here has some good wings and I am still a Bills fan even though it's hard to see a game from here. I do have Sabres and Bills stickers on my truck. My wife is always wearing her Anchor bar t-shirt to remind us where the real thing was invented. She also makes a heck of a wing too (secret recipe).

How do you feel about the Bills playing part of their schedule in Toronto? Been to a lot of Sabres and Bills games. At one time my ex and I and our 2 best friends would go to Buffalo Friday and stay at the Marriott in Amherst. Pig out on wings on Friday night, Sabres game Saturday night and then a Bills game on Sunday. Rowdiest fans at the Bills games usually were the Canucks. Bunch of a-holes. Any good knife stores in the Falls or Buffalo area?
