Thank you, Bob, :D. I will post some of my knives later by the way.

    Hi y'all I'm relatively new to this forum, so let me tell y'all some stuff about myself. I'm not going to give away my exact birthdate, what state I live in, or my name by the way. I am a male, and I was born in America (I'm not going to say what state) in the early 2000s. In my early childhood, my family and I lived in a trailer park. Now let me tell y'all, our trailer was the nicest around. In hindsight that doesn't mean a whole lot, but I was, and still am grateful I had a roof over my head. In the winter the trailer would get cold so my parents would have to bring in a kerosene heater. In the summer it would get hot so they would have to turn on the AC unit. My parents would always make sure the trailer was not too hot or too cold. In my childhood we had a VHS player, me and my sibling would watch old VHS tapes on it. Later on, we got a DVD player, and, then we got cable! I would play outside with my sibling, almost every day if I remember right! I had a great early childhood overall. Then when I was 12 we moved to the house I am sitting in right now!
    Since then, a lot has happened, some of my family members have died, my sibling has started struggling with mental illness, my sibling and I have matured quite a bit, and I got into knives. I now love most types of knives. I love slip joints the most though at the moment. I love the variety of handle materials slip joints can come in, I love bone handles, Micarta handles, and even plastic handles! I also love the variety of blade shapes, and patterns slip joints come in. As far as certain brands go I am a Case guy at heart. I hope y'all have learned a bit about me.
    Thanks for sharing that! Hope you stick around and show us some of your knives. Pretty good bunch of folks here.
    I know I'm a bit late, but I attached a photo of my Case collection. I did forget to get out my one celluloid knife I keep away from other knives though, but ah well.

    A very nice assortment Bear. I particularly like the knife on the left with the dark bone.

    Nice assortment of patterns and covers. Looks like all are in good shape too.

    Thank you, also that knife you pointed out is actually synthetic! I would have gotten a bone handle slimline trapper, but nowhere near me sells one, and well I don't make the best decisions sometimes haha :D. I still love the knife of course :mrgreen:.

    Thank you :mrgreen:, also the reason they are in such good shape, to be honest with you is all, but one was made within the last couple of years. The one that wasn't made in the last couple of years is the "limited edition" muskrat, it was made in either 2003 or 2004 I forgot. Oh yeah, I do have that celluloid one I forgot to get out, that one was made in 1984 I believe. I didn't know about celluloid outgassing when I got the knife. I am planning to expand my collection, and get some older Case knives though.

    Great looking group of Case knives, and ::welcome:: to AAPK! ::handshake::

    Lots of great knife information here, and then some. The friendliest knife forum on the web (if you ask me 😉).
    Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

    Thank you ::ds::, also I'm so sorry it took me so long to respond. I have been going through some stuff lately, and I was busy dealing with it.
