New to the Forum

Hi,

My name is Rick Perry . I have never considered my self a 'Knife Collector', but I just received my 5th pocket knife the other day so it occurred to me that I might be in denial!

Meanwhile, my latest acquisition is a lovely Grand Portage (Honduran Rosewood) from Trestle Pines knives. It seems to be a good candidate for an EDC - as you folks often say.

I am a retired Chef and consequently I have always been into quality knives, and in particular - Sharp ones. Here are a couple of photos - 1st up is my new G. Portage.

Blade: CPM154 Wharncliffe 2,75"

Half Stop: Yes
Cap Lifter/Screwdriver 420SS 1.875"
Steel: CPM154
Blade thickness: .065″ at the mid point
OAL Open: 6.187″
OAL Closed: 3.5″
Height: 1″
Thickness: .54″
Black Vinyl, zippered, lined pouch

Then a grouping of my 'Not really collecting' pocket knives.

I have been enjoying what I have seen so far on this forum and hope to contribute more in the future.

Rick

Well Rick I would say you are well on your way to being a collector! I think many of started as just a buyer of a few and sooner or later figured out we were an admirer/collector. You have some beauties in that bunch! Congrats on successfully uploading your pics and thanks for sharing!

Welcome and nice Trestle Pine! I own a similar one myself. Quite happy with it and carry quite often. I love the blade shapes, and it just rides in the pocket very nicely. Enjoy the website - I think you'll find it addicting!

Hi Sue,

The 3rd one pictured is a 'Boker Plus' Decade Edition, Lockback. The carbon fiber scales can catch the light quite nicely. It was one of the first knives I purchased and it turned out to be a good solid EDC.

Welcome to Knifecollector.
