New Guy from New England

[Radium07]

Hello, I stumbled upon this forum doing research on a knife collection that was left to me by my father. I generally like pocket knives and have carried the Original Camillus LEV-R-LOK Half Serrated locking folder for years. My father was huge collector of all American, German, and Irish Knives and I have my work cut out for me sorting and cataloging. I have always been a Camillus guy, I collect Rifles and have a 03FFL and Gunsmithing License from AGI. Being a collector of rifles and Bayonets, etc brands such as Ka-Bar and Camillus are well known. I also am very big into U.S. Coin Collecting and am a history buff, actually I teach U.S. History II at a local college.

Thanks guys, my first attempt at pictures was a failure as I tried to load them right from photo bucket. I got the link on how to do it and will be sharing my pieces with you as I unbox them. I have already started and posted in the Buck, Colonial, Camillus, and H Boker subforums.

I never bid on a knife in my life on eBay until I joined this site, now I have bids on 5 Camillus knives going on at once. I have to say this is a much cheaper hobby than Collecting Coins and U.S. Military Service Rifles/Bayonets. Is there a Subforum for KA-BAR and Camillus Mk2 U.S. fighting knives?

History.....that's what we're all about!

Welcome!

For my eBay, my advice is bid once, be a sniper.

I do that often, I will put the item in my watch list and place my bid within an hour before the auction ends.

I don't think I have met a friendlier bunch on any forums that I have joined. You guys seem very close knit....

When Jerry says be a sniper he's talking the last four seconds of the auction and BAM!!!
