New member from Colbert, Georgia

Post by lorifromchula »

Hi everyone. My name is Lori and I have started helping my husband who has health issues with his/our knife collection of around 200 vintage knives. Most of them are vintage Case knives, but we also have vintage Buck, German Eye, Boker Tree brand, Hen & Rooster, Kissing Crane, Simmons Hardware, Buck Creek, Fighting Rooster, Henkel and others. A few dozen of them were purchased from Jim Parker and Jim Sargent prior to their passing. We are not a knife dealer, pawn shop or a business, but my husband has been an avid knife collector for over 35 years. He used to whittle and trade knives with his grandfather and other old-timers as a child on the old courthouse square in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. We now live in Colbert, Georgia. We plan to sell more than half of his/our collection and buy a few special knives along the way. So, keep an eye open looking for them as I plan to list them on this site in the coming weeks/months. Best regards to all!

Welcome from south Texas. I'm sure your collection will be well received!
FYI, you'll need an upgraded membership, to sell knives:
https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... scriptions

Very affordable and supports a great forum.
Here's just a little of what it supports. I don't sell knives; but, upgraded my membership. You can still post pictures and interact, in the forum, for free, without an upgraded membership. I didn't have an upgraded membership at first and people were just as helpful, as if I had one. We look forward to (and love) pictures!!!
There are a great group of people here, on the forum.

Welcome from Kentucky! Actually, my wife is from y’all’s section of Tennessee, Smithville, just a bit north of Lawrenceberg. We all look forward to seeing you knives and getting to know you both.
