Hello my fellow knife aficionados. I just started collecting knives about a year and a half ago, maybe 2 yrs., so I know nothing. But I know I like them 'cause I've already spent a pretty penny on them. I especially like autos and just about have what I need to consider a nice little collection and can stop for awhile BUT that seems impossible. There's always one more! Just like collecting guns, my other passion which I've been into for several years. I live in the Northeast, have a beautiful granddaughter whom my also beautiful daughter blessed me w/ and a 9 yr. old German Shepherd. I'm an animal lover, what can I say? That's about it, nothing special. Thank you to The Dalton Forum for welcoming me. Forums are great, good places to meet really nice people which I have, and to learn a great deal.
