G'day from Australia

Post by Bushfire »

G'day all,

Thanks for having me.

Like all of you I love knives and in particular pocket knives.

My collection is quite small really, I got in to the hobby late and can't afford to buy too many these days.

My interest is in traditional pocket knives with carbon blades and natural handle materials. I have a few stainless blades but they just lack the character for me and artificial handles the soul. I'm a sucker for jet black ebony, good textured deer antler and some burls. Also have a softspot for boxwood, but finding anything covered in that is hard outside France.

Clip points and labmbsfoots are a particular favourite of mine, not that I have a good one of the latter.

Anyways, looking forward to reading through and perving on some knives.

cheers.
