Knife Addiction

I am 59 now and had a fascination for pocket knives since before scouts.

One skill is the ability to produce razor edges on most knife steel.

Some poorly treated knife steels will never be what I call sharp.

Well, I would occasionally put a big chunk of the collection on the family room floor and spend some evenings caring and fondling.

One day I started buying and making displays. Here are some...

Oh, and I always carry and will have about four fixed and folding knives on me daily.

Do I see a cub scout knife in that collection?

Yes and these are again, old photos.

I recently added the most beautiful very old Girl Scout Knife. I must take some photos.
It is in nearly new condition, very well made and I bought it at a consignment junk shop for a song.

Yep,my girls better get busy!

As far as knives go,I only have a box of pocket knives that people have given me,a few hunting knives,and about a Dozen different bayonets.I also thinned down my firearms to only a "handful".You have a magnificent collection!

ARdog, Welcome and a very nice collection !!!! My dad had some swords that were "bring backs" from WWII. I will have to take some pictures and maybe you can help identify them.

Sorry quoted wrong message.
