Daoud

I am a somewhat middle-aged person, living in the mountains of Western North Carolina. My roots are in Kansas and Oklahoma, and as an Army veteran and preacher's kid, I have lived all over the place.

I am a bibliophile and a student of American history. I accumulate swords and militaria and of course hats. I also make and sell reproduction historical knives of the 18th and 19th Centuries.
