All About Pocket Knives

I stumbled on your site 4-6 weeks ago, have been viewing it more regularly and decided I needed to sign up. I live in south central PA with my lovely wife, two of our children and a German Shorthaired Pointer. I am attracted to anything with an edge, but seem to always be looking at doctor's patterns first. It seems everyone likes photos so I have included one with a couple of docs (if the small ones can be considered such). I am impressed with the willingness you guys share your knowledge and look forward to learning more and sharing if I am able.

Welcome to AAPK. Great group of knives.

Hi and welcome to AAPK. Looks like you've got some nice docs. in your pile.

Welcome!!
Some nice docs there, Sir!

Welcome to the friendliest site on the internet. You'll like it here and likely make some lasting friendships. ___Dave

Join in looks like you will fit right in

Welcome to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard.

That's a fine pile of Docs you have there. Doctor knives were my first love and I'm still drawn to them but haven't actively pursued them in quite a while. After seeing your accumulation, I can feel the juices starting to flow again. I'm especially drawn to the Colonel Coon and the S&M but they're all fine examples of the cutlers art.

Glad you joined us. Welcome aboard.

Hello Mailman:

Glad you found us. Like everyone above me said, there's lots of good folks here and tons of knowledge. Pull up a chair and chat with us. And very nice knives you have.

Welcome Sir, a friendly bunch here and unlike other places, 'you can keep your own doctor'. A good looking group you have there.

WELCOME, Mr. Mailman !!! Like most of us you will be amazed at the depth of knowledge willingly shared among the AAPK members. And, from time-to-time you will see pictures of some spectacular collector pieces. Great doc collection. Hope you can maybe find some additions from the member stores.

Welcome to AAPK. You live in a beautiful part of the country. And you've got the makings of a good collection of docs! Hope you stick around - ask some questions, answer some, and share some more of your knives.

Welcome aboard. Good to have ya.

Welcome to AAPK. That is a nice group that you are showing.

Welcome to AAPK! I would love to see more pics of the last knife on the right. What's the brand? Is it real tortoise shell.
Great to have you on board!

I find Doc knives very cool - I've bid on some but never had one. I will have to fix that sooner or later!

Always good to have a doctor in the house.

I think it's Bulldog Brand Country Doctor and the handles are either Celluloid or acrylic. Same spatula blade and bar shield that's on my Bulldogs.

I believe you're right Jerryd. For some reason I thought it was an older knife than that.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
*treefarmer, I do indeed work as a rural letter carrier for the Postal Service.

*gsmith----jerryd is correct about the Bulldog in being more contemporary. Hopefully, this pic will show the handle better. If I remember correctly, it was referred to as purple swirl celluloid.

I don't know what the handles are called but they sure are pretty.

The other one I posted is called "Bright Leaves".

I have a few more of the Bulldogs. I don't know what the handles on this one are called. This one is called Peacock. This one has pearl handles. This one is just plain old white handles.

jerryd, that is a nice pack of Bulldogs there. Thanks for sharing.
