New to the forums old to the addiction

[South paw draw]

I want to start off with I'm a lefty. Ya one of them people. And thank you for all the members here for all the invaluable information I have already obtained. I am an old fart with an addiction to knives. I have a very large collection and felt it was a little greedy to not share my collection with others. Also wanting to see what other people carry. As a new member any and all advice on how to do the forum thing would be greatly appreciated. I have seen a lot of people say to but a membership. Will do but before I make a mistake and end up buying the wrong one this is what i am looking for.
To be able to buy,sell, and mostly trade knives with others that also have this addiction. So which one should I do? Also how do i post pictures? At near 50yrs I am finding the forums a bit overwhelming. Thank you all for your input. I'll give it a few days to see what everyone says before i buy a membership. Cheers

Ok I'm also a idiot. I found the membership link, read what was what and just bought the gold. Worth the money.

Welcome!

Since you've already bought a membership, the easiest way to post pictures is to just press the button with "upload a file".
Now, they can sometimes be a little too big to post and then you either need to resize them, or post them to a image site like imgur first.

Thank you for the information. I'm on a phone and I'm sure in time I will figure some thing out but having people help is super appreciated. Look for some of my collection posts as soon as I figure out where they should go. Cheers

Welcome to BF! Prepare to open your mind and empty your wallet!

Here is most of my accumulation:

Just picked up a Kershaw Launch 8 as well.

I'm both handed with a slight lefty bias, but growing up I just learned to open them righty, to the point it's more natural. I have a thing for low ride clips...

Very nice collection. I have a few autos at my winter home in "Mexico". Wished I could keep them here but you know "California" . I'll have to go to my winter home tonight or tomorrow and take a few pitches. I'll post up a few of my more common users when I get get home. Traveling from one part of the start to another for work atm so its gonna be closer to about 3pm ish. And thank you for the welcoming.

Well if you and the rest don't mind I'd like to try to.post up the picture i have on my phone. It is recycled from my avatar but it's the worker I brought with me. So here we go. I hope this works.

And here's the beater I picked up the other day. It's a new beater and hasn't seen much in the way of beats or even paper for that matter but soon it will have that "rustic warm look" that allows me to buy another one.

I see a Brous blades bionic flipper in the first picture. I have one of the first run autos... at my winter home and the Kiser right next to.it. in fact i think i have the same taste in pocket jewelry as you. I'll be home in about 6ish hours depending on the traffic. I'll post up more pictures then.

I think you'll enjoy having the Gold membership. 50 ain't old. I see you figured out how to post pictures. I resize mine quite a bit before posting as I see no reason to have them huge. Welcome to the forum!

 

[K.O.D.]

I occasionally have issues posting pics and I'm 40. I have a hard time resizing on my phone. Working on it.

Thank you. I wonder sometimes if we are more like the 3%'ers in the knife world but more and more companies are offering use a choice or right or left carry and some are even giving us a left handed knife altogether. I have be buying left handed scale upgrades for quite a few on my knives lately in stead of buying a new knife. But I can't seem to get away from the factory fresh rush of a new pocket dangler.
