Great stuff knifeaholic!
Your putting up pictures of some
very attractive 35's I might have never known existed if you hadn't shared them.
Thanks!
It's amazing how much there is to learn in this hobby! It's almost overwhelming sometimes!
No, I take that back.
It is overwhelming, at least to me
, most of the time.
Some days ya think, "Hey, I'm really getting to know this stuff about tradition pocketknives!" And your feelin kinda proud of yourself.
And the next day your reading around the forums and ya think,
"Man! I'll never figure all this out!"
And I haven't even started looking at modern folders, razors, fixed blades or anything else sharp.
I know how you feel.
But you know what they say, as long as you are learning something new each day, you are still growing. So not only with this hobby but with many things in life, I still learn something new. So at 65, I may still be learning & growing older, but I refuse to grow up.
But I will never be an expert nor do I wish to be. I would rather always learn something new I didn't know.
I once worked with an older gentleman, as a Heavy Mobile Equipment Diesel Mechanic. He had been there about 30 years and was not far from retirement. I once mentioned to him, that as long as he had been working there...he must be an expert in that field. He looked at me and said..."You never want to be an expert! If you break the word down The pronunciation, two syllables, EX-Spurt. "EX"= meaning, past, former, a has been. "Spurt" = small amount, little bit. Which means, when your an Expert....your a little bit of a has been.
Nice Story! That's one way to look at it LOL!
Don't make me an Expert, make me a "Kung Fu Grasshopper". LOL!
