Hey everyone, I just found this forum and am amazed at the wealth of info.
I am not new to knives, been carrying one since the mid 70's when I got my Camillus Cub Scout knife.
Been through dozens over the years then a few years ago just started picking up ones here and there and now it seems I have a cool new hobby.

I tend not to discriminate when it comes to knives.
Some faves are SAK's, I have a fair bit of alox Soldiers from various years, I dig friction folders like Svord and Opinel, modern stuff is nice too, but lately I been gravitating to more slip joints.
GEC and Queen seen to be real nice for USA production stuff.
I have about a dozen GEC and a few Queen made knive and they are really well made.

As for the old stuff I have a bunch of stuff I need to go through, most is inexpensive from the 40's to present. Somehow I managed to accumulate over a dozen various electrician knifes over the years.
I like the pattern and I always see them at the flea markets.

Well thanks for having me.
I have already learned a lot reading the past few days and hope I can contribute to the community.
Take care, Will

Welcome! Don't be bashful - post some pics of your knives. If you haven't already found it there is a long-running thread on TL-29 electricians knives.

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome.
Right now all I have is my phone for pics and it is pretty terrible.
I hope to soon get something nice, with a macro setting, because I do have a few questions about some of my knives that would be difficult to ask without said pictures.

Anyway Happy New Year to everyone here at AAPK.

Sounds like you are already infected, must have missed your vaccination for knife fever
