I am very new to knife collecting but have found it enjoyable and am excited to learn more.  I became involved with knives due to the death of my father-in-law.  He was a collector of knives.  He bought knives everywhere he went, but just put them in boxes and went out and bought more.  I have over 300 knives of all kinds. Bowie, hunting, pocket, and bayonets.  I am in the process of cataloging them all.  I am looking forward to posting pictures and seeking help on identifying the ones I can't.  The help I have been receiving on this site has been valuable.  I will probably sell many knives and keep a few I like.  How I do that is yet to be detirmined.  Shows, auctions, and word of mouth seems all viable.  I must first figure out what I have and that part has been exciting.  I can't wait to pull the next knife out of the box and discover what I have.  For now that where I come from.  Looking forward to talking to all who will listen and seek your expertise.  The knives I have cross a broad range of groups with many manufactures some I have heard of and some I am learning.  Thank you all in advance for any help you can provide for me.  I plan on being an active member for a long time.
