- 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.

- About Me
- 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.
I am also a firm believer that a sword is just an over sized knife, and equally worthy of collecting!

Thanks Lars. Will post some pics of the knife in question as I am a newbie to all of this. While I do know 2 knife makers (Ron Lake and Mike Walker who's here in NM), my knowledge is minimal. But I do enjoy seeing the passion you guys have for the craft.
