All About Pocket Knives

New to the forum . I love collecting and I figured I would hop in here to show what I just found. Might be holding onto this a while. cheers everyone

Welcome to AAPK. Nice find! Who is the maker?

Ken

Welcome and thanks for jumping right in with a photo. Looks like Shaw Liebowitz designs (?)

Welcome aboard. Glad to have you.

Welcome!

Welcome to AAPK, TNTrader!
If you could post some pictures of the knives with the blades open and they close up of the tang stamps, it would be very helpful for us and perhaps identifying who the maker of the knives was.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome Tennessee Trader, to the friendliest knife site on the web. .

to AAPK, TNT!
I can't help identifying your knives, but be patient as someone who does have some knowledge about them will see them eventually and post some info for you.
Beautiful knives, BTW!

Welcome to AAPK the best knife site on the web

Glad to have you with us T-trader.

Hope Tennessee Trader comes back and replies - hasn’t logged in since making the OP.

I'm starting to think that some guys will actually join the site in order to ask 1 question and then not participate any further.

It’s not an unusual phenomena. Click on “members” down there at the bottom of the page and browse the members and number of posts. “One post wonders” are common. But the mystery to me is why folks make a post, usually asking a question or seeking information, but then never log in to see the responses. Or wait ten minutes and not seeing anyone immediately reply, never return again. Makes me curious why they even bothered to make the post.

Then there are those who return a couple of days later and find the responses, but then go away forever without even a “thank you”.

. . . or guys like me that won't just go away!

Yah, I guess you're right, Ken.
Those things that peeve you about these guys are the same things that bother me, seems like a huge waste of their time.
The "non-thank you's" are the most upsetting to me, it's almost like they think they are entitled to the information and they're gracing us with their temporary presence while we scramble around trying to help.
And then there are the "Johns" of course, who just seem to not go away no matter what you do! lol!

Of course my post to Ken was in jest, John, we'd be in serious trouble if we were to start losing members as valuable as you.
So please keep-on "just not going away", buddy!

Thanks Mark!

Let's just hope Tennessee Trader isn't one of those and will come back to tell us more about his knives.

Ken

Welcome

Hey Tenn-trader

To be fair to Tennessee Trader, his one and only post was not asking a question or seeking any information. Apparently he just wanted to show off his new knives and nothing more. No harm in that as far as I'm concerned.

Also, I believe there are a lot of so-called "one-question-ask-and-run-wonders" who probably don't really understand the "culture" of AAPK like some of the more active members who have been around awhile and are accustomed to how things generally work here. It's very possible they think this is a kind of Q&A forum about knives and once they get an answer, they have no more need or interest in sticking around. Not everyone who posts a question is as knife-obsessed as the long-time members and/or frequent posters. JMHO FWIW YMMV

IMO, I think they believe that this site is live chat and that if no one answers instantaeously that they are being ignored and then they get POed. Or that many of the new sign up, and make one post because they are scammers.

Hey what ever happened to Tennessee Trader?
