Long time Collector

Hello everyone, new here, but not to steel. I've been collecting and using steel since I was given my graduation present of a VSAK Huntsman after graduating from US Army Infantry school and jump school in 1977. I went to Germany on my first tour and saw and fell in love with Puma and Boker knives. Well the rest is history. I do have more Puma's than any other brand, but I'm always open to other makers.
I'm retired US Army, married with two children and three cats. I've spent two years in Iraq working for the USACOE destroying Saddams ordnance. Was injured twice by carbombs, and now am disabled. So my time is spent working in and around the house, shooting, and playing with my knives. Well thats all for now. Glad to be here, and I hope to get to know some folks!!

We are glad to have you join us here at AAPK.
I think you will find a lot of fans of some of the German made knives here on this site. If you have any questions, ask em. If you have knowledge to share, share it with us. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
P.S. Thanks for your service to our nation.
Phil

Welcome to AAPK Leighton!
Thank you for your service to our great nation!
Glad you made it home.
As a 100% disabled Marine I appreciate your sacrifice!
My kids are grown so I stay home with the dogs and play with sharp things.
