Guess I better quit lurking

Post by Grump01 »

Joined a while back and never posted until today, just read. Until last year I never considered myself a collector. Just always bought another knife when something caught my eye that I liked and couldn't live without. Never considered them "Safe Queens and still don't. I like to carry and fondle them too much for that. Mostly have case's, but a few Schrade, Old Timer, S.O.G. Twitch II and one or two of a few others that are locked in a safe from the kids. Until last November when I bought a Case Pocket Worn Antique Bone Trapper, I didn't even realize the case Item numbers on the boxes were something other than what was on the knives and had never kept the boxes or tins they came in, to minimize the wife busting me when I bought another. Since then, I have bought several new ones and now keep the boxes marked as where I have them. I don't just like one Pattern or just one Handle material, but if I like it I love it!!! Really enjoy this Forum and glad to be a part of it. Hello to All!!!!! :D

Actually also Anderson, not born and raised here though. Ended up here in '82 due to working on the railroad and now have lived here the longest of anyplace.
