Welcome! It's always interesting to see the collections of the members from other parts of the world.

Welcome to AAPK bigbore. You live in a beautiful area. Who is the maker of your swing guard?

Erwin, welcome to AAPK. Very nice Northwoods swinguard,

Thank you gentlemen.

Mumbleypeg: The Swingguard is marked :
Northwoods
Gladstone USA

I think that is a older Northwoods bevore KSF got the Brand.
It should be made by Queen Cutlery.

Hi Erwin!

Welcome Erwin! Glad to have you here at AAPK.

Swing guards are one of my favorite knives as well. I am partial to the Canal Street Cutlery variety, although they closed their factory last year. I have about 6 or 8 different handled ones and always looking to add to them when I can find any.

Pull up a seat and gather round the site....lots of great folks here that just love to talk knives and there is a wealth of knowledge her as well.

Welcome aboard Erwin. I lived in Bavaria for a year, Munich [Munchen] area; a beautiful part of the world.

Welcome to AAPK, Erwin! Your username, "bigbore", does that refer to large a caliber firearm or large, cubic inch V-8 engines?
