I've been lurking about this forum recently and joined a couple of days ago.
I've always been interested in knives but I wouldn't really term myself a collector, more of an accumulator of anything that interests me or catches my eye. The closest I probably come to a collection is that I several Buck knives that I've acquired over the years. Other than the few knives that I've inherited or been gifted, I've picked up most of my knives at various estate sales/auctions that I attend.
This site has a wealth of information on everything and because I know everyone likes pictures here's one of a Schrade-Walden 148 that I got in the bottom of a box of other odds and ends this past fall.

Re: Greetings from Missouri
Welcome Maverik! Whereabouts in MO? I have close friends near Hermann that I try to visit once a year. If you've never been to the knife show in Washington in July then put it on your list; it's a good one. I made it there in 2018 (see: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58105&p=663446&hili ... on#p663446).

It's okay to admit that you are a "Collector" Mavrik.

Re: Greetings from Missouri
Welcome to AAPK. Missouri is a beautiful state. I have several kinfolks living in SW Missouri, and my son lived near St. Louis for several years. 
I usually make it to Missouri at least once or twice a year.

Welcome to AAPK you will find a very good and helpful group of folks here. Don't know where you are in Missouri, but my oldest son is a Lutheran minister in Pevely, MO. about 45 miles south of St. Louis. Anyway join in anywhere you would like to.

Welcome to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard.
Accumulators need knives too. Feel free to join the POS roundtable that's currently going on.

Re: Greetings from Missouri
Thanks for the welcome everyone.
I'm west of St. Louis but not as far as Hermann. I was planning to get to the Washington show this year but a family matter cropped up and I couldn't make it that weekend unfortunately. Barring anything unforeseen I'll be there this year.
