Hello from Green Bay Packer country,

Post by gordonjohn »

HI may name is Gordon and I live about 36 miles west of Green Bay WI. I have been interested in knives from around age 8 or 9, 70 years ago and have had one in my pocket ever since. I am not that educated about knives as most of the gays and gals on AAPK but I am learning. I like the older slip joint folders with bone handles, no matter who made them. As for myself I have been married for 61 years and my wife and I are still going strong she says she will keep me around for another 61 years then we will renegotiate to see if she wants to keep me or trade in for younger model. ::groove::

Welcome from across the border in Minnesota. You have a couple years on me. My wife and I have been married for almost 54 years. I've collected stuff all my life but knives for only 25 or 30 years. When I get old I plan on selling some.____Dave

Hey Gordon nice having another Fella from the Badger state here on the forum . Welcome ::handshake::
If I remember correctly you’re into old Winchester or Remington knives ? Have a Aunt over by Sheboygan area that need to get over to see, when ,if that happens will get ahold of you and maybe we can visit over a coffee or something? Hopefully the weather will warm up around this part of the woods and we can all get out and about .
Take care over there .
