Carl here.  In1997 Retired U.S. Navy after 21 years.  Went right to work with the Federal Gov. Law Enf.  Now have 15 years with them. Hope to retire again in 2 years at age 56.

 I have carried a knife since I can remember.  Native Florida boy and now back in Central Florida.   Have just got the knife collecting bug about 1 year ago. But really don't have any "Custom Made" knives yet.  Have turned down a few good offers to buy a custom made knife, but they were to fancy.  I like a knife I can use. Quality and Function is my thinking.
