Dave Says

I’m just another guy. I work in the information technology field so typing and being at a computer is second nature to me (first nature I guess). I like to write and sometimes getting stuff out on “paper” helps me to “decompress”.

I don’t really write this stuff for anyone in particular. I just like to write and it’s available to me, so I do it.

I’m a happily married Christian father. I try very hard not to swear but sometimes it comes out and believe me, I don’t feel good about it when it does. I actually beat myself up pretty good about it. It’s just one of those things that I need to stop doing. I need to stop swearing all together. I know I can do it and I eventually will get there. Until then, I’m sorry for the times that a bad word or two slips out. However when people are cruel to animals or other people it really gets me going.

I’m also a lover of quality cutlery. I mostly enjoy folding knives. I don’t view knives as stabby horror weapons like Hollywood portrays them. I use my knives as tools only and that’s all they will ever be to me. I don’t like to open boxes with my teeth or keys and since God didn’t give me claws I prefer to use my God given brain to figure out that I can use man’s oldest tool to help. I’m very partial to Spyderco, RAT Cutlery, Kershaw, and Victorinox. I feel that Spyderco just makes unbelievable knives that are very useful, albeit some of their knives look weird. Spyderco knives are however THE most comfortable knives when holding them in your hand. They build them in a very form follows function manner.  I like that.  They have the perfectly round opening hole (The Spyderhole). I prefer the perfectly round hole as a way to open a knife rather than thumbstuds.  A select few other companies still make quality knives. I will not get into the Benchmade vs. Spyderco argument here. “Google it” if you must.

If anybody actually reads this, and wants to ask questions please feel free to do so. I’m actually quite enthused as this blog has gotten 22,402 hits total [as of Jul. 7th 2009] and on a good day I get 300+ hits a day.   I’m blown away by this.

Thanks for reading if you are one of the few!

Enjoy,
