Hello all, new member from Washington.

Post by semroc »

Hello. Thanks for having me. Great forum. It has helped me a lot. Here's a few of mine. I'm really starting to get into Colonial knives, but haven't purchased one yet. I really like the Barlow. Is the master Barlow a bigger version? Thanks again, Eli.

Howdy semroc! ::welcome:: to AAPK!
I see you have a well used Queen in your pile. If that one is 4 1/4" closed, it is probably a #49, I carry one pretty regularly. ::tu::

I'm really starting to get into Colonial knives.
Quite a few Colonials for sale here on AAPK you might want to check out.

Try to find a knife show in your area. Nothing better than 1000s of knives to peruse and look over first hand. Welcome!

Thank you all. Yes its a queen Treefarmer. It was made in my birthyear. Or so the tangstamp indicates. 1972. Thanks for the id of #49. Just finished reading the colonial forum, where Mr. Palantonio was identifying people's knives. What a great, informative, and ultimately sad read. He was so knowledgeable, and kind to knife enthusiasts. A riveting read.

Hey, a neighbour! Look up, straight North. See the redhead waving? That’s me, up here in Surrey BC!
Welcome! ::handshake::
I collect Richards, and it’s sometimes hard to tell them apart from Imperials and Colonials. I keep finding “mistakes” that somehow get stuck to my hand and follow me home. Nice knives.
It’s pretty darn nice in here!

Thanks everybody. Hi zoogirl. I can see Canada across the sound on clear days. I used to go to Richmond every once in awhile to play hockey. You've posted wonderful knives. Have a great day.
