New Guy Here

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 60 year old retired guy that loves knives. I am active in the traditional knives on another forum but have gleaned a lot of good info from here and thought it time to join. Although I have some modern folders my passion is for traditional knives. I don't collect just one pattern although I have more Barlows than anything else. The latest knife I have acquired was a GEC #47 Hayin' Helper single blade sheepfoot, I noticed Glennbad on here and he has redone an old Imperial Barlow for me in stag and did a beautiful job. He now has 6 more of my knives redoing them in stag also. I enjoy a nice but sometimes expensive knife like my Todd Davidson but also have several Rough Riders I enjoy. I prefer Carbon to stainless and not a steel snob 1095 is fine with me but I do enjoy finding the occasional slipjoint in CPM 154 or such. My collection is not big but not really small either. I have around 120 knives and am adding when ever something catches my eye. I also enjoy gifting the occasional knife. I look forward to getting to know you folks and participating on this forum.
Randy

Hey Old Hunter I've saw a few of guy's from (across the Street) on here. I have googled info and ended up here so many times I thought I needed to join. Seems to be a great bunch of folks on a great forum. Been a long time since I've been a newbie though.

Glad you're here, Randy! Seems like some of the "newbies" of late are pretty well versed when it comes to the almighty pocket knife, sounds like you'll fit right in
