Good Morning Dalton Forum,
I've been aware of this group for a while now, and it's time I said hello. I'm a musician from upstate NY; have enjoyed knives since my father gave me my first folder in second grade (yellow handle Case--wish I still had it). I've always liked autos, but didn't develop a real interest in collecting until I became aware of Rob Dalton's work several years ago. Now it's several dozen Daltons later and the interest is still high (just got my first DCC custom last summer--and on and on, as you all know--).
I also want to say thanks to all the long time members--the history, background, folklore that you all bring (along with Rob Dalton's distinctive style and huge creativity) make this a real interesting place to be.
Happy to say that my wife (also a musician) takes a real benign view of my growing collection--in fact, she even has a couple of favorites (I was able to acquire a Lost Souls a few years back--first time she saw it, she said "That's--awesome--").
Take care, everybody. Dave (aka DM9)
