How long have you collected knives?
41 to 45 years
Favorite Kind of Knives
Mainly traditional patterns. In 2012 I decided to concentrate on Case knives.
About Me
Was a major Schrade collector in the 80's. Wrote the Schrade sections for Levine's Guide to Knives & Their Values 2nd Edition and Official Price Guide to Collector Knives 10th Edition. Knife World (Knife Magazine) Ambassador.
Interests
Knives, Guns, military history, old west history, history in general actually, science, news junkie....there's very little in life that I'm not interested in!
Other Hobbies
Flashlights, Guns, Old West, video gaming....yes I'm an old gamer!
Thanks for the "like" my Case stockman & muskrat. I felt these were worthy of adding to my collection of these patterns since Case is running out of India Stag. You have some beautiful pieces and the background is nice as well.
Craig Thanks! Another year but not feeling it, guess I'm lucky so far! The older I get the better looking and smarter I become, and that's the first lie I've ever told! and that's the second! ;)>
Hey Craig. I hear this is where all the cool guys hang out. Just kidding. I am just starting to look around on here. Looks like some great people and info. here.
I saw your background on Schrade knives. Recently I have started collecting some from the early 80's. I have a catalog page from 1980, and I am using that to find the knives on Ebay. Take a look at my Schrade photo album and you can see what I have so far. I just bought a 881 Stockman that I have not posted yet. Thanks for the friend request.
Craig, I appreciate the like on my Stag Case bull dog. I was able to work a trade that was well under book on the knife. Now my wood handled one is not lonesome.
I have never had so many people wish me a happy birthday. I don't know how to say thank you to everybody all at once. Kinda makes an old fart feel sorta good!!!
Not sure what the heck im doing. Trying to reply. This site is NOT VERY intuitive or helpful in navigating. If it remains this tough to do anything, will probably drop it. Thats coming from a rocket scientist! ! ...lol
Craig Thanks for the Great comments on the 2 Ambassador Tour Muskrats----and I love the Amber Peanut that you have shown---I happen to have one also. Nothing Like a Nut hahahahahahha
