Hello all

[Mink]

Been lurking for a bit and thought I would introduce myself. Just recently caught the traditional bug from lurking in this forum. Already have the fixed custom bug so this is a double hit to the ol bank account.

Anyway, been doing a lot of reading here. Seems like a great place, might hang my hat for a bit if y'all don't mind.

Here a little pic of my budding traditional collection. Sorry about the pics, may need to consider photography classes next.

Some custom fixed

My other passions besides knives and firearms would be German Shepherds like the 3 year old male in my avatar, my constant companion.

Look forward to learning much more here in traditionals.

You really do have good taste in knives (and not just because I see 5 in your collection that I own too!). Welcome!

Welcome to the Darkside! Bwahahahahaha!!!

 

[Mink]

Appreciate the warm welcome. Yes, the forum knives are turning into a quest I think. Looking forward to seeing if we can get the 2013 off the ground.

Great collection. I really like Steingass bowies and hunters.

Great collection. I really like Steingass bowies and hunters.

Yes, another weakness.

I have threatened to add TK to my budget.

Edit: oh, I'm a sucker for vintage Puma's also.

Nice collection Mink . Welcome and remember; If you're going to carry a knive, it ought to have class. Slip Joints Rock.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Hi there Mink, and welcome.
As others have also said...you have some lovely knives, I love the Stiengass fixed blade - the Sheath is a class act all on it's own!
Your choice of slipjoints again.....class Sir.

 

[Peregrin]

Nice to have you aboard, Mink. That's a fine selection of knives you've got there.

 

[Gevonovich]

I have to say welcome aboard, as well! You have a fantastic collection already. Is the chopper a steingass?

 

[Mink]

No, the chopper is by Tim Olt out of Michigan. The scales are 5470 year old Bog Oak from Burl Source.

 

[Jack Black]

A very nice collection you have there sir :thumbup: Welcome aboard

 

[jakemex]

Nice collection! Welcome to the Traditionals Forum

 

[jackknife]

Yes, very nice collection you have there Mr. Mink. But...I don't see a peanut. You realize you do have to have a peanut. It's mandatory.

Yes, tried acquiring a Case damascus peanut via trade, but it did not work out. Will continue to keep an eye out.

Current project is to see what kind of patina forms on that S&M. My wife thinks its a little strange that I keep offering to slice up her apples for her.

 

[lutejones]

Welcome here,
In deed is a great place to hang around. I love German shepherds too, but I live in a small flat so no chance of a big dog, instead I have Tato

In the traditional mug shot thread are some of the members' pets.
