[Quarterbore]

Welcome to the new knife forums. My name is Quarterbore but a few people that don't know me call me Ken. I am just an average guy with three kids, a wife, dog and ex-wife. I am really not all that much of a knife expert but close to ten years ago I tried to put together a summary of what I knew about the Buck-184 Buckmaster and the M9 bayonet and I put the info up on my simple hobby page www.Quarterbore.com.

Over the years that simple little page grew and I got e-mails from a great many people that have contributed to my own knowledge and I really have to give a great deal of credit to Bill Porter and Doug Houser for countless corrections and pieces of information that has been included on the site. My website had got pretty large as my ever expanding "bad habbits" got included on the website and after a while I had problems because I couldn't get affiliate programs to approve my site because they didn't like... Guns, Knives, Cars, Girls, or Who the hell knows what... This lead me to split off the content off Quarterbore.com into as many as twenty small niche websites including www.M9Bayonet.com and www.Buck-184.com .

The Niche websites were working fine but in order for me to afford to pay for the hosting of all these websites I needed to find the cheapest host I could get. Well, cheap was not the way to go as I had very little tools to back up my websites especially my databases that are so critical to keeping a forum online. This new forum is going to become the central discussion area that will support many of my small websites and I will have to see what becomes of my small websites if I move all the forums here!

As for my own knife collection, I think I have about three Buck-184 Buckmasters, one Buck-185 Buckmaster, four M9 Bayonets, and perhaps a couple M7s. I also have quite a few other bayonets including AK-47 and FNFAL bayonets plus a bayonet for my UZI. I do have other knives including a Phrobis MFK and may other knives that are rather ordinary but since I have been hanging out with you all I have got the bug and I have been adding samples of lots of different knives.

Well, that is more about me then anybody would really want to know... who are you... how did you find us... what are your interests... what should I add to these forums?
