Long time lurker, first--well, second--time poster here. (I use the same handle at Bladeforums). Came here looking for a few knives in particular, after realizing I'd rather not waste my time on the 'Bay trying to find stuff. I'll get a WTB posted sometime soon.
Not much time for playing with knives lately, so I've focused on my EDC stuff, my ever-growing TL-29 collection, and some experiments in bone-dying. Someday maybe I'll have time to fix-up my own users, for now the stuff in need of repairs just accumulates.
There is no truth to the rumor that I collect scout knives; they just follow me home.

Quality should not be an accident. So what is the explanation for some of the knives we've seen in the past few years? (from A Knifebuyer's Manifesto)

Re: Quick intro
TL-29 collection? 
Those things made me hate Camillus for a long time. LOL
After nearly cutting my finger off with one of the darn things in the Tonkin Gulf, I sent several of them "over the side". As soon as that blade lock got the least bit loose, I float checked it.
They all failed the float check..
I'm pretty new here too, but I sure am enjoying the forum and the good folks here.

Re: Quick intro
Welcome coffeecup ;
I to call my self an accumulator and not a collector.
Perhaps cuz I buy what I like and see at the time and not just a patern or company.
I feel collectors have a main goal in mind to get. And passup a lot of sweet ones that need a good warm home...
