About Me
I used to trade knives with some other kids when I was in grade school. Just recently got back into collecting a few. I grew up in the mountains of Virginia hunting and fishing not so much as a sport but as a means of having food to eat. I will always cherish those times of simpler means.
Interests
I like collecting most any interesting pocket knives, signs etc. Also like any black powder items and other hunting items.
Other Hobbies
Hunting, fishing, gardening, camping with my wife and family and spoiling my dogs..

    Good to meet you too Bob.I don't get to spend as much time here as I would like either. As a knife collector,trader and dealer,I believe Great Eastern Cutlery is making the highest quality knives being made in this country right now. Their beautiful knives are made with collectors in mind,but every one is also a well made,solid usable knife. I don't know your collecting,or EDC preferences,but I think it would be hard to go wrong with a Great Eastern for either. Just my opinion and experience.

    Happy to be your friend Bob.  I see one of the groups you have joined is the Knife Repair & Modification group.  I'm in that too.  I'm getting interested in re-handleing nice old folders with good blades.  Ive bought a few project knives with great blades and crappy handles for this purpose.  I'm trying to get some input from others in the group, as far as tools and techniques.  Let me know if you, or a friend can help.  I'm anxious to learn from someone with experience.  Thanks for the friend request, and I hope to hear from you.

    Howdy Bob, appreciate your compliments.


    Jack is my fishing, truck riding, harmonica singing, little buddy.  He's a rat terrier, and a stray. First saw him in a ditch, at the end of my driveway. Stopped my car, opened the door, and asked him where he was going. He came a little closer, I clapped my hands and said "come see me". He ran across the road, hopped in the door, and has been my timid little buddy every since. Fed him, left him outside to come and go, he was never claimed, and he decided he liked his new home.  A litte timid and gun shy, but a fine little companion.

    Talk later Bob
