New to Talk Blade

Post by vernfonk »

Just wanted to say hello to all. My addiction with autos started when I was a kid after I saw an ad in a SOF magazine but I stopped purchasing them when I entered the military. Now that I'm retired (21 years AF) I started feeding my addiction again. My kids think I'm whacked because of my obsession but what else is new. A Mikov was my most recent purchase and it's my favorite so far but there are others on my radar as well such as a Bill DeShivs leverletto or a classic swinguard. I guess I'll have to get both of them :).

I was reading an old post of how someone used to check his mail several times a day or listened for the delivery truck to pull up. Man, that brought back memories. I remember when I was 13 or so, I ordered my first NATO OTF auto kit that was C.O.D. I would wait everyday for the UPS guy to drive past my house. Well one day he did and I ran out the door with the cash in my hand to chase him down. Sure enough, he had my knife and the rest is history as they say.....Take care all.

Check that.
Just go ahead and accept the fact you'll end up with several of each, plus many others as well. :shock:
