reposting my intruduction

(trying not to look like a noobie,lol)
Love the Dalton lifestyle!! My name is Peter Joseph Azzolini . Ive been fascinated with swords and knives since birth. I believe a had met my maker in past life at the end of the sword ive been told. I have been collecting since 1985 and have had to upgrade to a bigger curio case 3 times so far. I am the proud owner of a Dalton proto Hooker neck knife as my only Dalton piece. I love this little knife so much I sent back to Rob to add a lanyard hole to accept my Dalton skull lanyard . My collection is a very diverse collection with lots of Argentinian gaucho knives and hawkbill this and that, autos of many kinds. There is stuff from Argentina, Spain , France, Russia Philippines Taiwan and of course the good ol US of A baby!! I will need to take a picture and allow my Dalton friends a view my collection soon.

Thanks for your time. Peter

Welcome to the sick and twisted place of Dalton Lore! Good Luck!

Welcome, thanks for sharing. Looks like you have some pretty sweet steel there. Did you make the wooden knife stands? My wife was not happy when I took over "our" curio cabinet. http://www.daltonforums.com/attachme...tid=8524&stc=1~blah BlahILK

Wicked Dalton dedicated shelf my friend !! Like it alot

I purchase stands from SMKW , de-engineered and copied it to make a few more. Did you make the Dalton stands? also very wicked.

Thanks for the pics of your collection! You got a nice array of collectable Bucks I see...Nice! Did you get the 110 Factory Auto yet? I recognize the Kershaw shallot, the spydercos, CKRT, boker AK47, Gerber, and some others. Most of these folders don't seem like " Collectable" blades to me, but rather "Users" except the Buck collection. I don't know any of the Hawkbill blades except I recognize the Dalton fixed Hawkbill- its nice, so are the others. But Hey that's my opinion. I see some nice looking fixed blades as well. It's a nice very wide variety collection.
Congrats on your acquisitions so far. I saw some bigger, what looks to be fixed blades on top and on bottom. Nice Russell knife too! I see you love Stag as well. I am partial to it as a knife handle materials as well. I didn't realize you added more posts with the pics of the fixed blades until I posted this, so I have come back and edited this post. Those big blades look great!:)
Regards and take care!

Welcome! Nice collection.

Thanks as well. Now I think about it and you are right my collectables maybe a few but it is a collection of very usable knives though . Its hard for me to think of a knife never getting a chance to Shine in the purpose and usage it was made to do. Not interested in the factory Buck 110 auto. Being the first from Buck I guess it would add collectors value appreciation . Peter
