    Hello,

    My name is Jos. Interested in WW2 since my childhood hollidays in the Belgian Ardennes (see pic below, me & my brother, 1979 or '80!).

    [​IMG]

    Nowadays interested in all (world) wars, weapons, fortifications, etc...

    My "main" hobby is collecting hand-made knives.

    Hoping to expand my WW2 knowledge on this forum, and maybe sharing some of mine!

    Kind regards,

    Jos

    Yes, and urqh is the one with the tin foil hat trying to contact ufo's in Area 51. He's the forum space cadet and nurf herder.

    Oh and welcome to the forum Blast Master! Plenty to do and learn about around here. Just be careful of who you hang out with....

    Yep. Not a traditional one though, this one is made by a dutch knifemaker (Toni Oostendorp).

    Kind regards,
