Favorite Kind of Knives
Sharp ones! While I am always on the look out for the ideal knife, I specialize in fixed blades - Bowies, Daggers, and Combat knives primarily, but I've been known to pick up a folder or two when they capture my imagination. In the broadest sense, I am a collector of edged pieces - Swords, Knives, Bayonets, Ethnographic / Aboriginal, and Historical.
I am passionate about all edged pieces...Knives, Bayonets, and Swords. Always looking for the ideal knife, I collect knives when I cannot afford a Bayonet. I collect Bayonets when I cannot afford a Sword. When I can afford a Sword, I look to see how many knives I can buy for the same money. And so it goes.
Joined February 23, 2015. Never been sorry.

Thanks so much for laying that out so clearly. I really appreciate the step‑by‑step guidance and the humor along the way — makes the whole process a lot more enjoyable. I’ll check out the forum posts to get a feel for things and then put mine up. Good to know about the Friend invite for private messages too. Appreciate your help!

lol...
Reverse the ice caps? Great, maybe then I won’t have to shovel my driveway.
A knife that bends the axis? Finally, a kitchen gadget worth the hype.

Black holes aside, I’m trying to sell a knife. What’s the smartest way to list it on this site?”
