Thank you J.J. 

well hello there  ty for the add I am going through a bunch of knives and using your site among others to help describe and price them I really appeciate in advance yall's help and support

Thank you JJ !

My interest in knife collecting and knife collections sort of fell into my lap. I was given the gift of a knife collection from a friend. I counted 60 knives from various makers and styles. It immediately generated an interest in learning more about knives and more about what I was actually given. I am reaching out to a couple of forums to help me identify and learn more about each knife I have. The collection ranges from really nice Buck and Schrade knives to small collectable folding knives that have "Drink Coca-Cola" with the price of 5 cents on it. It looks to be a real smorgasbord. 

Thanks! I appreciate it.

I've dabbled in collecting over the years, but have gotten serious about it in my retirement years. (since 20114).

I just snagged a nice 4 blade LF&C for a great price and am pretty excited about it.

Also, I notice you're in SC. I lived in Beaufort from 1978 to 2000 and my daughter and granddaughter live in Columbia. My wife and stepdaughter (who own two stores) just got back from a trade show at the Cola fair grounds.
Lastly, my older brother was born in Port Royal, so as you can see, I have quite an attachment to you Sandlappers. :-)

Thank you, nice to be here, hope I can figure out how to navigate. 

Thank you. Loving the site. Great info. 

Thank you sir 

Looks like a really good site, thanks for having me.

I'd be interested to know if you have any views / opinions on knife sharpening equipment.

Back in the days of my deer stalking and hunting when I was a bit more mobile (and doing a lot more skinning / gralloching / butchering) I used a Lansky set, but it took more time than I like to recall. I've just bought an updated Lansky with easier sharpening options, but still not sure I've got what I really need.

Thanks for the welcome, and thanks for the great site!

Thank-you. 

Thank you for the welcome JJ, I hope to contribute and learn while here.
