Howdy

Post by trutemper »

I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Bob and I live in Illinois. I've been into knives my whole life(was born in 1951) but just started collecting when I was in my early twenties after Dad got me into the hobby. I enjoy most all kinds of cutlery, especially older knives with pretty stag handles. I appreciate a well made American product but have seen some mighty nice Parker knives and also collect many German brands, and other brands from Japan and have some dandies in my collection that I`ll try to post when I have a little time! I really enjoy spending time with my wife and and my guitar playing buddies. I`m also a baseball card collecting fanatic! Just wanted to say hello and thanks to David for the invite!
