It was March since I was last on here. M-a-n-y things happening in life and I just gave up on knife collecting as any budget to buy a knife, here and there, went out the window. Then, I was really bummed when SMKW stopped their mailbox catalog permanently. That was one of my tiny joys in life. Get their catalog and sit outside and thumb thru it page by page at a snail's pace.
Then a few weeks ago, my mother (who's 88) gave me something I never expected. My grandfather's little keep sake box that looks like a trunk. Inside were SIX pocket knives along with five watches (four wrist, one chain). I can't say that it reignited my fire for knives again, but....it certainly sparked it.
Anyway, I've missed being a regular at the FCD and I might just be stopping in more often. I might go ahead and post pics of the knives I have inherited from my grandfather, but time is precious right now. Wife and I are dealing with our 11 year old cat, Banjo, who has cancer and is almost a hospice patient (for lack of a better term.) We hope we can pull him from the jaws of death with one last vet appointment.
Wrapping up now. Hope I didnt go on too long. Hopefully, I can get back into the full swing of things.
Y'all take care!
