G,day. I have just become a new member of your forum. I am in Australia, retired and have a long term love of pocket knives. Since i have retired i have more time to put into my passion. I have a collection of quiet a few knives, which i use and find very theraputic sharpening. There is something about sharpening something you use as a tool and when you get the required result getting a great deal of satisfaction from your skill and work. If there is anything any of you members want to know about Australia do not hesitate to ask me and if i can help only too happy to.Have a good day. ::tu::

Welcome cudgee. ::handshake:: We are always pleased to have another Australian with us. They are always good mates. We would definitely enjoy any photos you may have. In addition to knives, we have threads here for other photos: e.g. outdoors, birds, guns, etc.

Welcome aboard from Kentucky! Always good to have another Aussie in our ranks.

I completely identify with what you said about sharpening being therapeutic, I love sharpening my knives as well.

Thanks doglegg. That is my first problem. I'm an absolute novice with computers and related technology. Putting up photos is well beyond my capabilities. I am going to have to learn how so i can be a contributing member and show my collection.Thank you for your welcome.

Thanks Treefarmer. I can remember when you had to go to the phone exchange/post office to book a trunk call to make a long distance phone call. I already feel at home here, and also most welcomed. Thanks Mate. ::tu::

That my friend i cannot help you with. The goldfields of Australia are littered with broken dreams, hearts and men, as i'm sure they are in the USA. Stay safe mate.

I met an Aussie fella that had a booth at the gigantor Tucson Gem & Mineral show in Arizona
bout 5 years ago....after 10 mins of yacking, he produced a 8 plus ounce nugget.
Just never forgot being a hobby/part time prospector for nye on 40 years the look
and feel of having that gorgeous 1/2 LB Aussie nugget in my hand, awesome !!!
