Thank you Paul!..Looking forward to getting into the mix!!

Hi Paul,

I have a question regarding the numbering of knives.  I was looking at a Case knife that said it was 1 of 2500.  I did some looking around and found the same exact knife from other sites that were also numbered 1 of 2500.  My assumption was that the "1" meant it was the first of 2500 but I must be wrong.  Does the number indicate it is part of the 2500 lot?

Hi Paul,

Thank you so much for the information about the knives and storing them. I had no idea the celluloid material caused problems, I do have a couple so will keep them separate.  I read about Jim Parker, some were not very happy with him.  

There are several Sunfish on the AAPK site. One posted yesterday with Mother of Pearl but the price is 800.00.  Just cannot bring myself to do that.

I would really love to go to a knife show to do some knife hunting, maybe they will be a "thing" again.

Well, Paul. I would certainly love to meet you too. I think we'd have a lot to talk about. As you know, I love knives.. Sickness!!!!!!  You get this way, let me know. 

Nice collection of the Canal St. knives you have, Paul.. I have been able to gather a few of the Canals. 2 folders and a sheath knife.. They are really beautiful.. Such a shame that they went out of business.. 

Thanks for the friend request.

Yeah Paul .. all the older stampings are becoming more & more difficult ..&.. when one does find them .. they're out of my budget.
.
You won't believe this .. I found a Catt 3W wrench knife ..in great shape.. in an antique store marked $15.oo .. I got them down to $12.50 .. they had no idea what they had. I pd my bill .. exited the store ..&.. did the "YES" dance.

I've about a dozen old Waterville .. some still in pretty decent shape. Never pd more than $20.oo for any of them.

Union Cut Co. .. precursor to Ka-Bar. Again .. they had no idea what they had.
.
Those deals just are not out there anymore.

Thanks for the kind comment Paul.

Thank you! Have a good trip.

Paul,

I just started collecting knives. I search flea markets and yard sales. I found this one at a yard sale. Blade has Alfred Williams Sheffield England with a animal hoof (goat)? Is this novelty knife?

Hi to all and thanks for the add. Paul said there is a search in the menu top right corner. Would that be the one titled links? Since I'm new it is going to take a bit to find my way around :-)

HA!...yeah I finally remembered to join,thanks for adding me as a Friend.

I have yet to really look around here.but what I have seen look great!

Thank you, it's good to be here.  By chance were you stationed at Loring?

Paul,

I wish I could be there but not this time.  Make sure to look for Greg Dash and say hi.  Enjoy the show and let us know how you like it
