Hello All, I'm a Newbe

Hello everyone, Newbe here. Just joined and looking forward to learning as much as I can.
My grandfather started me collecting knives as a youngin. But in my early teens most got stolen during a birthday party. After that I lost interest. Or as i got a little older other things took my interest. My grandfather passed, I grew up and had a kid of my own. And recently my grandmother passed and left me a few knives. So I'm back to collecting and mostly learning about what the knives are I have inherited. Which led me here.
I've watched as many YouTube videos as I can find. And I've been exploring the internet. I think I have a few fairly good knives and a few not so good knives. My grandfather loved the fle-market. I have several of the "Bear Hunter" brand. Which says Soligen on the blade but it's a Pakistan made. And I have 2 of the "Old Smoky" knives which are also made in Pakistan. I've seen those same knives with the spelling "Ole Smoky", strange. But I have a few Case knives and several of the Shrade Scrimshaw knives. And a couple other mixed knives. Boker, Blue Grass, Imperial and a couple of Japanese Sabre brand knives. And the few knives I already owned. Now I'm very grateful and looking forward to start adding to my collection.
