"Just had another look. The 941 lockback is pretty common, but the 1969 Plainsman is a rather scarce model"

"Thanks Vince, I agree the starting prices are a bit low for some of the lots.  I saw that you like Puma’ the most on your new member post.  I like Puma’s too, My everyday fishing knife growing up was a puma, one of my all time…"

"I had a look at the items, although I can't really get involved, not being in the US. Lot of three Pumas...... One is Model 6385 Trapper's Companion (Right Hand Version) and has to be mint given the RC decal is intact. Although I already…"

"LoL! Lots of grace for spelling... However, just to help a brother out (and anyone else who may read this thread)....polish is what you do to your knife.....Polish is the person! Subtle difference I know...  :-)"

Large Portion of Collections up for Auction

Hi All, my wife and I have decided to start right sizing as retirement nears.  As part of that, I have just placed over 3/4’s of the knives I own (from my and my deceased father’s collections) up for sale at a local on line auction house.  For sale are: 29 fixed blade mostly custom hunting and fishing knives by makers  including George Herron, Randall, Corbett Sigman, GW Stone, Owens and Morseth.  14 folding blades including 2 beautiful Shaw-Leibovitz, and one by Barry Wood.  Plus 3 each slip…See More

Great to have you here, Greg!  And have to compliment your taste in knives!  I've always appreciated Randalls from a distance, though eventually I'd like to add one to my collection -- any of their wasp-waisted fighters (especially the 1-7), and there are a couple hunters I really like too (but because of that distance, I can't really recall the model numbers at the moment)...  Anyway, regardless, welcome, Greg!
