·So, yep, apparently I collect knives now ... Got this little Damascus steel poker at a metal and crystal warehouse.
Edited:
Anyone else collect knives?

·At a country show some time ago I stopped at the stall of a blacksmith. This little (17.5cm) knife caught my eye. He said he just hammered them out for fun. I thought it was a superb piece of artisan work - no frills, but a lot of fine work went into making the rams head at the pommel end. For $25 would you pass it by?

·At last the whole viking knife rig is finished. Knife is a copy of a reindeer hunters from ca 500 AD found on a glacier in Norway, sheath is inspired by findings in Birka Sweden . Belt buckle is inspired by a find in eastern Europe. The rest is somewhat inspired by finds and fantasy.
The blade is made from a farriers rasp, handle from curly birch. The hardware is copper with steel rings and belt loop.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorStill buy knives for research….😗
Bought 2 of these cheap as the knifemaker forgot to drill handle pin holes to attach handles… makes a nice set of steak knives if I don’t want to waste a few drill bits trying to drill hardened tool steel.

·My first love (and collection) was from pocket knives! Here are a few of my favorites from my collection. Nowadays, my knife collecting has slowed. I'm quite happy with my collection as it stands. The watch bug has bitten me HARD and I prefer saving (and subsequently spending) resources on timepieces as opposed to pocket knives.

·Something a bit different. These are desk knives/letter openers in sterling silver, made by well known designer and silversmith Stuart Devlin in the 1970s, and hallmarked for London. The grips are hand hammered and gilded. The bottom knife is double bladed - very handsome.
Very interesting - a quality letter opener is essential for every man's desk! I shall look into these.. good to see they're London made too.

·While you wait sharpening 😀
I thought this Tanto was just quirky. Didn't realize how useful it would be. Been a great help prepping the exterior of the house for painting.

·I found this among some of my grandads things. Family stories say he had this when he immigrated to America around 1925.

I love the blacksmith designs ... Picked one up at the local crystal shop and the pointed dagger right from the demo stand at the renn faire at Burlington county the other weekend.

Probably Sheffield made. Thousands have been produced for many decades.
My elder brother had one when in the Scouts, 70 years ago. My other brother ended up with it, and it was abused dreadfully. He asked if I could tidy it up for him.
