Hello everyone from North Carolina

Post by JayBird_73 »

Hey folks! JayBird here, just wanted to drop in and introduce myself. I'm semi retired from a family business building heavy machinery. Now I spend most of my time researching and discussing pocket knives with anyone willing to listen.
Lately I have been focusing my interest on traditional slipjoint patterns. Vintage or newly made makes no difference, I love them all.
I do also like some modern folders and would like to expand my collection there as time and money permits.
If it has a sharp edge and it fits in my pocket, I'm interested and would love to discuss it with you. I'm looking forward to meeting you all! 🫡

You have come to the right place, "researching and discussing pocketknives" is what AAPK is mostly about. You will find a wealth of knowledge on the subject, and a bunch of friendly people ready, willing and able to share their knowledge and discuss pocketknives.

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Welcome! I spent just shy of 3 years at Fort Bragg, North Carolina but that was a long time ago. I also like all kinds of knives but I’m not much of a fixed blade kind of guy. I am also semi retired and working part time as a delivery driver.

We are happy to have you here!
