Billy, I know what you mean. That "buy it because you like it" bug has a very strong bite!  Call it what you like, Fob, Pen, Lobster, Gent, etc. I have a weakness for these small pattern knives

Steve, it is hard not to like trains, especially the old ones. Kids today probably don't get it. But there was something magical about steam locomotives and freight trains with a caboose.   There are still rail buffs out there who go Train Spotting. The sad thing is I set up a web page to let them know what rails regularly operate in my neighborhood! http://www.hegewisch.net/rails.html

Nice collection, Toby. I have a habit of buying the metal novelty knives in different shapes. I'm not sure why, other that I like them.

That's a beauty, Ron.

Thanks for the compliments guys.  I don't actively look for gent/fob knives must it seems like the collection keeps growing.

Nice lookin' knife, Toby!

Here's my contribution to the train conversation. A Boker Railroader from 1980...

As a kid I had an HO gauge layout that my dad had constructed for me. I had more fun making new buildings and changing the landscape than I did running the different trains and locomotives that I acquired over time.

Yea Tobias, we sorta got off the subject of knives. I can go to rambling on, in ever direction. Back to your knife, great score. I'm tempted to start a small Brass knife collection.

Nice knife and a good find.  Good job.

From what I understand, Neil Young bought Lionel Trains some years ago and He has a semi that follows his tours, so he can play with them and share his hobby with his fans,

When I was a boy I had an electric train set, my grand father bought me, used. I don't remember the brand, maybe it was Lionel.
