Hello all!

Post by TexasRed »

New to the group. Just started a small collection of autos, always loved knives in general. Thanks for adding me to the community.

Here is one of my favorite lever locks so far.

Here you go. This is what I have so-far. They are not all "top quality" or vintage, but they all struck me as "I need that" for some reason or another.

I have been working on my parameters for my auto collection so that I can get more "focused." So far, I am only buying knives that fit the following requirements:

1. Must be pointy or sharp.
2. Must open via lever or button or any other device (as long a they are auto knives).
3. Must not be so different from the other knives I have that my wife notices I purchased a new knife.
4. I must see it and think "I have got to get one of those."

Red ~ Please consider getting the Virus! That is, the Piranha Virus..... a coil-spring bo/bc made right here in the USA.
Everyone who has seen mine has liked it, and some have been sufficiently impressed to purchase one for themselves.
Those who have purchased the Virus have been very pleased with it. I like this little knife a whole lot ~

(P.S. Unfortunately, neither the silver dollars nor the antique marbles come with the knife...... )

Nice start but this hobby is addicting, you'd be better off to quit while you have a bank account.
