All About Pocket Knives

Ya'll have spoiled me. I spend more time on AAPK than anything else. Ya'll are so helpful and so knowledgeable. I don't know if I qualify as a collector as I don't have a lot of knives (How many does it take to be considered a collector?) I have tried collecting makes, patterns,etc. and gave it all up. I now just buy a knife occasionally that I like, doesn't mattern make, pattern, or what.
I like the looks of many of the traditional knives ( particularly Bulldog, Hen and Rooster, and older Kissing Cranes) but for EDC I like a small Spyderco or Benchmade. They are fine for the hard work I put a knife through: opening envelopes, cutting string, tape or opening anything bought at Walmart. Thanks for the help guys. Hope I can return the favor.

ABOARD! If you hang around here, you will have many

more Knives in no time!

Welcome aboard Pretty soon these guy will have you down with a case of the "schatts", "bulldogs" at your door, and like someone around here says, "the sickness only gets worse".

Welcome to party, Jerry!

I think coming to a web site and chatting about knives makes you a collector, no matter how many knives you have!

I don't have many knives either, but hanging out around here has made my "I gotta get one of those knives!" list very long, very quickly.

Thanks guys. Ive been browsing the site for a couple of weeks, thanks to Hukk. I sell at the local flea market once a month( not just knives), and my box of "sellers" is getting smaller as I keep removing knives and putting them into my home "keepers" box. Nothing like AAPK to make you love the ones you have once more, so I guess my collection is getting bigger without buying a whole lot more knives.
Ya'll come to see me if you are ever in Ripley,MS on the weekend of the 1st Monday of the month.
