Hey everyone!
I'm a PDX native and have an unhealthy (I've been told, but I don't see it tbh) obsession with my '04 Z71 'Hoe, Maybelline.
This site, it's members, admins, moderators, and supporters have been so incredibly, fantastically, and unequivocally helpful for my better half and I through all your posts, rants, questions and answers I felt it necessary to join if only just to say thank you to you all. Truly, you are the wind beneath my wheels! (It was only one time and I don't care to experience being a 6000lb projectile again anytime soon)
On a side note, to any local knife enthusiasts or admirers, I may or may not be an employee at Benchmade and I may or may not have 60% off vouchers up for grabs, just to show my gratitude is real! HMU!
Thanks again y'all and I am working on my stereo system build as we speak!
Cheers

Welcome to the forum from Virginia. With your experience we hope you’ll pass it along. You’ve got a great neighbor somewhere up there in @PNW VietVet. Good luck with the stereo and post pics.

Speaking of knives, are you familiar with the name Ron Lake?

Ron Lake is one of the greats! Some outstanding work. Maybe in another life I'll be fortunate enough to own one of his designs.*heavy sigh*

Ron Lake is a friend of mine at the local American Legion post we belong to. I have one of his knife designs that he passes out at the post from time to time and I have seen his work. Very detailed and beautiful designs and great craftsmanship. We have broke bread with each other many times at the post. Great guy.

Right on! Yes, his work really speaks for itself. I would kill to able to to pick his brain for a day, he's been in the game for a long time and been able to watch the industry evolve into what it is. Man, It just fascinates me to no end.
