Another newbie saying hello..........
on: March 29, 2013, 03:25:43 AM
Evening all:
  Found out about this site on AAPK All About Pocket Knives and decided to check it out.I guess there are several members there who are active on here also.
  Name is Ray Smith and I'm a 69 year old semi-retired sign artist/pinstriper currently living in Southeast Michigan.Been collecting knives since I was 10 and still have my 1st knife. Besides knives,I also collect guns;vintage wrist watches;scale model station wagons and own a couple of vintage Pontiac Safari wagons.Married forever and have 3 kids;4 grandkids and 2 great grandkids.
  Looking forward to perusing the forum and talking with fellow members.

Thank you for the welcome! My first knife was a Utica Sportsman fixed blade(although the Utica name was not marked on it)that I purchased with my grandfather's blessing at the age of ten. He had to OK it with the man who ran the hardware store.
I kept it in the drawer of a small table in my room(my grandparents raised me)and when I went into the Navy in 1964 it was still there.My grandfather died while I was in and when I finally returned home the house had been sold and my possessions scattered who knows where.
When my mother died in 1987 I was cleaning out her apartment and came across the table and inside the drawer were not only my knife but two pocket knives my grandfather owned! They weren't anything valuable(two Kamp King utility knives)but to me they are priceless. They will be passed on to my youngest son and eventually to his son.
Anyway here is a pic of the knives.

Welcome aboard Ray, lol I must admit, I had a little laugh when I read your first post. At first I did a quick speed read, and the first thing I cough was 69, so I back tracked and it said your 69, fine, but then when starting off I read AARP rather then AAPK, :rofl: lol sorry I just fig everyone would get a kick out of it..
