Hi. My name is Joe Carter a 72 year old fart who has far too many knifes as my family will attest, and/or accuse of being a "knife freak".
Purchased my first knife in 1960 for 12 pounds 10/- a sheath knife by W Jno Baker, Sheffield, still have it! somewhat worse for wear.(pik later)
at the same time passed up a F/S patten 2 which "Paddy Pallen" had for sale for 20 pounds (a weeks wages at that time) because it wasn,t functional as a G.P knife.
So now I have about 30 fixed blade knifes, about 30 kukris and about 180 folders of various makes & models.
Have a bush property down near the Abercrombie River, total scrub/forest steep/hilly country where we camp/shoot etc. Bit of a permanent camp is set up & storage in a bit of a shed.
we 4WD , & quad bike around, as knees are stuffed for hunting on foot.
Thanks for the initial welcome when I posted on the AA Stiletto thread.
Will post some photos when I become eligable.
Regards, Joe
