It's not about how much you've got...

Ever thought about how far a passion can take you?

Well, let me tell you about Mr. Todd Moore, a member of the Antique Bowie Knife Association.

He was a regular teacher who turned his love for antique knives into a massive collection.

Imagine that—all on a teacher's salary!

Starting with just a few pieces, his dedication and passion saw his collection grow. Over the years, that love turned into a big deal. This journey took him from humble beginnings to becoming a respected voice in the antique knife community.

Todd Moore's knowledge and insights earned him a spot as a contributing writer for Antique Bowie Knife Journal, where he shared his wisdom with fellow enthusiasts and helped others understand the history behind each piece.

The Western Trading Post auction house is honored to house a significant portion of Todd Moore's collection right here at our June 13th auction. It's your chance to own a piece of this amazing legacy. Join us to explore some of the most interesting and rare knives that he collected.

What's the lesson here?

You don’t need a fat wallet to chase big dreams.

He proved you could start small and still make a mark. His love for antique knives and steady, patient collecting turned his modest budget into a killer collection.

So remember, it's not about how much you've got; it's what you do with what you have. You got this—start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can. Who knows where it might lead you?

Don’t miss out on this unique chance to see what passion looks like turned into a collection.

Warm regards,
