Hi from Germany

Post by Capt. Farrel »

Hi, my name is Frank and I have been a lurker for some days in this fine forum. As it seems I have caught the knife bug (again) and this time it´s pocket knives!
I just started collecting and I suspect that there isn´t still not much of a leitmotif in my little collection. Up to now I am fascinated with french pocket knives (not neccessarily Lagioule),
traditional german pocket knives and most of all the classic american pocket knife! ::woot::
Unfortunately it´s always the hard to get by stuff that atracts me and although a lot of the fine pocket knives that are shown here come originally from Solingen, Germany
they quite difficult to find here. So sooner or later it seems that I will be buying stateside.

Until that there´s still alot to learn... ::nod::

Greetings from Germany

Frank :)

OMG, it´s knives again!

When the knife your grandfather/father carried or put up is handed down to you...treasure it...open it up from time to time...and by all means, keep it!
