Yeah, I've been paying rent on an apt all summer long even though I'm at home. It stinks but I needed to do it so I had somewhere to live in the fall. If anyone benefited from this mortgage disaster, it must have been landlords/apartment building owners.

Thanks for the link to that news blog. It looks very professional and insightful. I'll be reading it regularly now. Good job.

What is your daughter studying? I'm trying to finish up my masters in history (U.S. foreign policy).

Not to be a downer but do you know what the status is over that U.S. Customs legislation? I keep hearing that our knives may be taken away but I don't hear any information as to whether the bill passed or not.

At 23:20 on August 5, 2009, Debbie Hardin said…: Thanks for the welcome, Scott. I'm new to the knife collecting world, hope to meet new folks and maybe learn from the pros.

At 19:23 on August 3, 2009, In MemoriamA. G. Russell said…: This is pretty funny, picture the knife yoiu have shown 5" closed with a blade 1/4" thick. Would that make yoiu happy, if so, picture our Texas Ranger for 2011

At 10:18 on August 3, 2009, Lisa Sebenick said…: Thank you for your thoughts and kind words. The prayers seem to be helping though, they postponed my friend's surgery in hopes of shrinking the tumor with drugs for 2 months. Her daughter goes to the orthopedic tomorrow afternoon and we'll know more after her doctor's visit.
This summer's been crazy! I can't believe it's already August! Where does the time go??? Have fun on your two upcoming trips and who knows, you may trade in that toenail collection for a tactical collection before it's all said and done! lol

At 16:51 on July 29, 2009, Ed Henley said…: Hey Scott! Sorry for delay in answering you buddy. The show is Dec 10-12, 2009. I can email you an ad in pdf if you would like to add. Also, would love to do a Bulldog group. Let me know what to do on that when you have time.

But, make me a nice PIE GRAPH
Us economists LOVE graphs...hehhehehehe

A few examples of how I came to collect WHAT:
1)I "smuggled" in from Mexico at age 11 a PAstor Aleman "switchblade"
So, Now I am on the lookout for Pastor Aleman knives
Ever seen a Pastor Aleman??lol

2)I went to my buddies house
He had a Luxrite butcher knife his grandfather gave him
So, now I have a Luxrite (Hollywood,CA) hunting knife
Ever heard of Luxrite?

3)I lost a Western L66 in Colorado at age 15
I like the fact that some of them say BOULDER,CO
(I have a house and roots in Colorado)
So, now I collect Western BOULDER, CO knives
And any knives that say Colorado on them
Ever heard of Mancos, CO?? Timberline knives??

4)I found a SQUARE (woodworking tool) at a thrift shop that was made by Southington Cutlery
I did some research and found out the square was at least 100 yrs old!!
It led me to keep an eye out for Southington Cutlery knives
I don;t have one yet
But, I found a Southington Hardware Kan Kut can opener from the 30's at a antique shop...

I been lurking at the Custom Knife sub forum on BF
I have one custom knife
I figure it's a natural progression to get into custom knives
Still got love for production knives with history though...

Plus
I love taking pictures of knives
It's a learning process
Still got a ways to go

I'll post up some more soon
I have about 10 more I need to photograph
I use my Flickr accnt as a sort of "pictorial inventory" of my knives

I wnet on Buck buying binge a few weeks ago
Got all nostalgic......

Sorry for falling in a hole since you replied back to my post on the speeding tickets.
But..do you have any pics of your awful sounding wreak you described or is there a link someone on the web to it? Thanks goodness you survived.

Scott...
I used to have that magazine, but that was years ago. Almost 50 years. The only thing I can remember about that period is being out in the front yard at my aunt and uncles house with a garden hose. I was watering the lawn and my pants fell down. The lady from next door had to come over and pull them back up for me. I was in a body cast from the hips up to my neck.! hahaha
