This was/is a great thread.
I like the generic discussions just hashing about GREAT knives and sharing lots of pics. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
SF posted some awesome knives - obviously a connoisseur of some of the "Finer" blades - Gorgeous art blades I wish I could afford and justify.
I used to have about 20-25 or so customs, but I had to sell most of my nice ones as finances got tougher... I miss a bunch of them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I still have about 6-7 simple Steve Voorhis knives which are great designs and pretty well made. Sort of a good value for customs, so easier for me to hold on to. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> ... and a couple others.
Vic obviously collects and knows a lot more historical military blades - also interesting and fun to discuss and learn about.
..... Sadly, this thread also shows me some of the guys I haven't seen around in a long time that were pretty regular and frequent posters at one time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> .... Unsub, Rooikat, Dice, Stans and a bunch of the yougsters????

Yes it would be nice to see some of the old names pay a visit back here....I last saw Unsub in the W&SS forum on B/F's...I hope they are all OK.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
Maybe we might see some back here when the S5 is released.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
It is interesting reading some of my old posts and then thinking that the releases since then such as the NMSFNO actually fit the bill of what I hoped to see...

Unsub is into historical knives nowadays. He had a post recently on the Bark River forum. But he could drop in and hang out with the old rubber handled knife crowd now and then. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Yes, it would be nice if some of the missing "old-timers" would visit now and then! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Did someone say Fairbairn-Sykes? One of my first knives! Dad had this one since the mid to late 50's, when they were $2 items from the back of a magazine.... It's drawn blood too...I used it as a Boy Scout to slit a pig's throat before we BBQ'd it

Yep. But people come and go and interests change. So it's to be expected, I suppose. Even if I never bought another knife, I'd at least visit here. Sure, it's Scrap Yard knives that brought us here, but this forum is a lot more than just the knives. You can't say that about most knife forums. There are some fine folks here who don't mind helping each other out. Now, back on topic, I ended up getting one of those Camillus daggers. But if I were to pick a combat knife, for a 61 year old fat man, it would be the DFLE! Gimme some reach! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I love learning from all people, and the Yard has a lot of good people to learn from. I do know that people's interests change--mine has. I still love guns, probably can tell that by my posts, but I have found a new love of steel. I have always loves blades, but lately it is even more addictive. It is all your fault LOL. Serious, between the blades, guns, camping, hiking and gear what else can we add--I know, zombie killing tactics!
Men you can't trust, women you can't trust, beasts you can't trust, but Bussekin steel you can trust
