We wish. We love pictures on AAPK and there is plenty of room to store them so post as you will.

Welcome to AAPK. We're glad to have you aboard. May I ask where you are located in France?

Welcome from across the pond! We love pictures of both the knives you own AND the knives you have created!

Cool. Just across the border from Italy and very close to Switzerland. I'll bet it's beautiful there. Pictures of your area would also be well received. There's an entire thread called "Outdoorsman Thread" that is devoted to that kind of thing. ---► viewtopic.php?f=21&t=28684

Welcome to AAPK. Would like to see your knives. And we can use any help you can give regarding French and Europen made knives. We have some other members here from Europe but the more the better!

Great to have you here Christophe! We could use an expert on French knives, tang stamps, etc. here. While you like U.S. slip joints if you also collect French knives any printed resources you use in your own collecting of vintage French knives would be a great addition to the AAPK Resource section.

France is famous for the Riviera, but did you know America has a Riviera too? It's called the Redneck Riviera, Panama City Beach, Florida. :)
All that to say: ::welcome:: to AAPK from about 40 miles north of the Redneck Riviera.
