Wow thanks for the very warm welcome gents very nice of you. I think i should mention at this point i love anything in stag bone wood horn or hoof also i have this crazy obession with folding bowies please dont ask how many i have or il insist on showing you all of them. I a member of a few facebook sites to and i think that they all are fed up with me and my need to find more old or new with or without swing guards with or without safety guards i tend to go on a lot about them and have been crazy for them for the last 5 6 years now. Its not all il buy but i just love them. My biggest blade is 17inch my smallest under 3 inch and a few fakes and a few real rare ones. I never use the word expert about myself as i just love to learn more but i suppose iv seen a few. I look foward to joining in and i hope you guts cant help me learn more about knives. And if i bore you please tell me to stop plus im disabled wheel chair user and i have a real bad memory so if i repeat anything please stop me yes its really as bad as that. I hope not to only learn more from you all but i hope i might help out in finding information from you about a few odd blades i have and of course if i can help in anyway im very happy to do so. Again thank you for the add and for the warm welcome regards darren

Welcome to iKC!

Hi gentlemen im sorry iv been a bit quite lately im really sorry about that but iv got a long standing disability which keeps me in hospitals quite a bit and a new powerchair my eldest daughters bought a home bank of dad to the rescue so its not stopped me crom buying though just not had the time. Anyway you dont want to hear my problems. I wonder could i pleass ask you have you ever come across a folding bowie or a campaign knife folding dirk all the same type of thing made by george butler & co sheffield. It haa " the art " on its blade horn grips slight damage to open you press the shield same to close. I ask because in never seen one made by them i did mention im crazy about them and iv some ideas but i guess i just want someone to say yes really. I cant seem to load a picture im on my phone sorry. Lovely to be back home again anyway thank you all in advance
