I know exactly what knives you are talking about (slip-joints with handles shaped like a woman's leg with a high-heel shoe that also serves as a bottle opener). There is a sub-forum here at Bladeforums specifically for old-time knives like that called the "Traditional Folders and Fixed-Blade forum". You can find this forum by clicking on the "Forum" button at the top/left of the screen (under the Bladeforums logo). That will show you a forum directory. The "Traditional" forum is in the center column of the first group of listings.

You should be able to find other members in that sub-forum who share your interest.
