All About Pocket Knives

I introduced myself yesterday in the Böker forum and found this thread today. My name is Yehuda, it's a religious name from the Bible. I'm a Navy shipbuilder working on the LCS project in Mobile Alabama, a Master Mason and secretary of my Lodge, I lead the music program at my house of worship, married (sometimes happily ) just a regular guy involved in the community. I collect 19th century Alabama obsolete paper money and railroad stock certificates, WWI and WWII era rifles, coins and most recently, pocket knives. I'm a fan of Böker particularly but any well made 'turn of the century' German folding knife catches my attention. My expectations from this forum are to learn about pocket knives; properly identifying, caring for and restoring them as well as making new friends. So, I'm looking forward to growing my knowledge and skill with this community. I've read a lot of posts from this board and a lot of you guys have an impressive amount of information to share. Glad to be here!

Senior Deacon is my favorite chair. I'm a twice PM and I guess I'll be secretary for 20 years!

You know this area well then. I live in Baldwin County and work in Mobile. We go to Mississippi every so often to put quarters in the slots and see a show.

How cool. We're neighbors as well! Yes, Yehuda is Hebrew and is pronounced Judah in English. Clever of you to spot that!
