Hello all
So I registered a whip ago but never got around to posting anything till now. Anyways,
I've always had an interest in pocket knives, ever since I got my first one when I was 8 or 9. And I just recently started collecting. Most of society had led me to believe my hobby was dangerous and strange, and not age appropriate. Until I found this place that is. Some things enjoy are metal music, vacuum cleaners (I collect them as well, does anyone else here?) and thats about it.

Re: Hello all
Hey Metal, welcome to AAPK.
I would imagine that collecting vacuum cleaners really sucks
Anyway, welcome aboard.

Re: Hello all
Welcome aboard. Glad to have you. Do you have a specific interest in pocket knives or like many of us, are you a generalist?

Re: Hello all
Royal, Kirby is my favorite brand. I have 8 or 9 of them.
Jerry, I'm not sure. I don't focus on one specific brand or design, but I do have my favorites.
Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone.
