Hello!
My name is Justin and I hale from Central Alabama. I am a maker of custom fixed blades as a part time job. I was a member here many years ago. Got away from traditional folders but I find myself coming back to them. I'm hoping to get back into collecting.
I like carbon steel blades. Jack knives and barlows catch my eye. My first folder was a OT stockman when I was a lad. Bone and stag handles are my favorite as a rule.
I'm having a hard time choosing which brand to focus on. I'm stuck between Case (CV blades,) and GEC. I like the looks of alot of the GEC stuff but Love Case's availability
Cheers!!!
to AAPK. I agree with dlr110 and I try to collect older, USA made knives.
A welcome back to you from LA (lower Alabama-the Florida Panhandle). It's hard to beat an old CV bladed Case even though I mostly carry a couple of old Queens as EDCs, there are some old Cases ready and waiting.
Look forward to seeing some of your work and collections.
