New guy from Europe

[tomasf]

Hello everyone and greeting from Czech Republic - Europe. My name is Tomas and I am a long time knife collector. I collect traditional pocket knives primarily and most of them are from GEC. I am participating in other forums and groups, but I am new to AAPK. I appreciate the knowledge and enthusiasm this forum represents. I also hope to purchase a knife or two from the AAPK store in the near future

Welcome to AAPK. Are you a native to the Czech Republic?

Hi Jerry. Yes, I am a native Czech. Now I live in Prague, it is a very beautiful city and I like it very much. But I also like our Šumava mountains, where I came from

Welcome Tomas, Nice knives and you have some pretty good photography skills as well. I like the photo in your avatar. I hadn’t thought to take a picture from that angle, I like it.

Your English is excellent. How many languages are you fluent in?

Thank you Jerry for your compliment, but I have to say my English is not that good, I just try to hide my shortcomings - from my point of view, I speak more like a caveman than a gentleman I tried to learn French in college, but honestly, it was a failure. I also speak a little Polish from when I was visiting my grandparents. If you are a fan of foreign languages, try to learn to speak Czech, I recommend it, you will like it I know a guy from New York who can speak Czech as well as some natives can't

Thank you buddy I like to experiment with lighting and perspective. I have been heavily into black and white photography and darkroom techniques for several years, it has been in my blood ever since and I hope to have more time to return to it in the future.

Beautiful knives, welcome to AAPK, always nice to read/see the perspectives of someone from somewhere else.

[tomasf]

I also like trappers and bullet knives

Welcome aboard! You have very good taste in knives!

It’s wonderful to have you with us, and yes, your written English is very good . I’m afraid it will be us “native” English speakers who sound the most like cavemen. Everyone butchers they’re own language.
