Hi all,

I just registered a few days ago at CPF - after reading around a bit here for some months - and decided to register now. Like perhaps some of You, I come from the knife side and got first infos about CPF from links at bladeforums etc. and messerforum.net.
I´m 28 years old and live in Munich, Germany - the most northerly Italian city, like some people say /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif.
Starting with Arc AAA´s (bought a lot as gifts), I now have a Surefire G2 OD green, Arc AAA and a Longbow Micra w/clickie and UCL lens in OD green (You see, I prefer OD green /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif ).The last one replaced a Inova X5T I sold some time ago. Some MiniMags, V8 LED Lenser and stuff are still lying around here, but aren´t used any more.
I don´t know what to buy next, at the moment I think about modding my old Mag 4D with some 5W Luxeons, but this project is in very early stadium.
I´m sure I will enjoy my time here and hope to have a lot of interesting discussions and some fun here with You.

Stefan

Welcome to CandlePowerForums, crashlander.

Some of CPF's best are from Germany.

Like your handle. Is "crash" OK?

Hi,

thanks for the warm welcome. As I´m not rich, I will go drop my credit card somewhere in the garden this night to save some $$.
@ topper: You´re right, really small world!
@ Icebreak: Sure, crash is ok. Lander, too /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Crashlander? Sounds familiar. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Let me tell you that flashlights are at least as addictive as knives!

Hi crashlander, glad we got one more german knifenut over here.
Next logical step is to join the german cpf mailing list, perfect area for group buys and modding help. But you'll still have to spend lot's of hours here. Just drop me a pm. By the way,"loosing" your credit card in the garden is not gonna help you. You'll soon be /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/broke.gif!

Welcome to the CPF Crash. You'll need to meet our esteemed CPFer Kiessling. Do a search for his posts.

Crashlander,

Well I guess I am the first Canadian to welcome you, so Welcome!
Please share with us your experiences (with lights of course...) so that we can continue to learn more, and then /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif spend more!
