Hello from Florida
Hello from Florida
I've been enjoying AAPK all year and joined back in the summer. Just found this thread today. New to knife collecting, don't have many yet, but working on it. Enjoy looking at everyone else's knives as much as I do my own. Thanks in advance for your help you give me because I'm sure I will need it. Thanks Bill

Welcome to AAPK from South Dakota. Do you have a collecting specialty?

Re: Hello from Florida
So far older knives, and with a rare tang stamp money permitting. I guess it's the history and the quality that they could produce with the tools, machinery and materials in those days. What about you? BillOLDE CUTLER wrote:Welcome to AAPK from South Dakota. Do you have a collecting specialty?

My main interest is camper knives and stockman. I do buy a lot of junkers to rebuild also, do rehandles on them and so on. As you mentioned, the large number of companies that made knives back in the day is also very interesting to me.BWT wrote:So far older knives, and with a rare tang stamp money permitting.

Re: Hello from Florida
I bought one that was out gassing and replaced the handles without taking apart. I need to read some on taking one apart before I try it. Here's a couple of photos, I did lose two pins, dropped them and they were to small for me to find.OLDE CUTLER wrote:My main interest is camper knives and stockman.
