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.
Carbon Steel, Brass Liners, like this one only nicer:81795-1.jpg

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.

Don't worry if plan "A" fails, there are still 25 other letters in the alphabet.
Looking for S/A bayonets s/n 922033 & 1045220

Time to feed the pigs!!!!!!
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin.
