Michael, thanks for joining the Arsenal group and entering the contest. That is two nice Smiths in the picture. I am looking forward to seeing more of your pictures and reading your comments in the group.
There is a monthly publication, Knife World" that I reccomend ($22 per year). It always has excellent articles on various knives (custom, old ones & modern) as well as they have in stock for sale many publications on knives (www.knifeworld.com). The one book that I find very useful to date various makers is "Goin's Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings". Cleaning is always a personal decision one has to make. A word of caution is that a lot of cleaners and lubes can be damaging to knives with celluoid or plastic type handles.

Thanks Mike - glad to have you as a friend - I am more of an accumulator - I switch from one thing to another but have fun doing it.
