tops skinat,love it.

Thank you, Ron.

Thank you Ron very beautiful picture !

Hi Ron, I wanted to thank you for the kind and generous comments you made regarding my John EK knife pictures. I have been collecting these for several years but only recently found the The 1st Generation poured lead rivet Ek. I was pretty excited about that even though it had a light logo stamp. It is in really pristine shape.I hope that doesn't bode  badely for the original owner G.I., I think this knife was made about the middle of WWll , so it probably saw action.

Ron, thanks for all the nice comments you made on my recent posts. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the B-day wishes.Roger

Looking forward to what's happening in this world.

Ron, my friend, thanks for posting your VA card on the Military Service discussion. Thank you for your service.  I appreciate your friendship. Ken

Hi Ron,

Many thanks for the dating chart for the Puma knives! This is really valuable.

Thanks for the welcome Ron. I hope to quickly add photos to my website galleries. Feel free to copy any you like to post here. I've just changed formats and have more work to do on the site. But, I'll get there. I'll get to know the forum and participate where I can.

Please feel free to put up a photo of Llangollen Wharf, are you familiar with that canal ?  We just had a boat  for the day ,we often get together with friends for birthdays etc and share the cost of a day boat. the big draw there is the Pontcysylte aquaduct.

Shame that knife ran off on you, I've owned a couple of Puma's but lost patience with trying to sharpen them. Eventually I started with carbon steel and found it much easier. I wanted to buy a White hunter for years ,but either couldn't afford it or didn't feel that I had enough use to keep one occupied. 

I notice you had a Puma White Hunter Ron. For a few years I worked in forestry in Scotland a friend was an ex marine and he carried a stag handled White Hunter during his service. It sure looked like it had seen some use.

That's a special occasion knife, Ron.  Only tote it when the girls reach some sort of milestone in life.

Still trying to get some better welcome pics.   You and Steve are a tough act to follow.

If you could have seen the way I lived my late teens to mid twenties you'd be amazed too! By the way thank you for your military service.

Thanks for the happy birthday. Can't believe I made it to 50.

Ron, the knife collection I am helping to sell has one of those paramilitary knives you recently purchased...how much did you pay for it ?  Another knife of particular interest is one that had a round tapered tool.  The owner explained that this knife was used by sailors to help pry into rope/lines that are being unknotted.
