Knife collecting

**TheSkyer** · 06-12-2010, 11:22 AM

Dear friends,

In an society such as this I can imagine that things with sharp edges in general peak interest. My reason for wanting to shave with a straight razor are just that, I like sharp things XD

I myself are especially into Damascus knives and wanted to see if there are other collectors among us.

Here's little picture of one of my knives and my travel sharpening kit. You see: Bottle of Skyer's Secret Recipe Honing Oil, Diamond coated sharpening rod, Half yellow half blue natural coticule wetstone and a medium / fine ceramic sharpening rod.

The knive you see is a 100% genuine 400 layer tamahagane blade. This baby is actually so sharp you can shave with it (I tried

)

Any other collectors around willing to show their stuff?

P.S. I am a fan of any kind of high carbon knives (not just damascus). Some of my favorites are Opinel and Svord Peasant knives

Nice knife!
I don't collect, but have a few that I carry & use. My EDC's are a Strider PT & a Hinderer XM-18 3" flipper.
No photo's right now though.
They're both pretty uncommon knives in the UK. The Hinderer's pretty uncommon anyway in that size!

That's a cool knife you have there.

Are you using oil on your coticule though

I have a few knives actually.

Most of them are KA-BAR army knives which I find great for camping and hunting.

Other than that nothing too crazy.

I have been looking at some samurai swords tho. I just want one for the incredible skill it takes to make such a sword.

Just a thread for everyone to flaunt their other sharp metal object!

I got into swords first, then saw some stuff on straights and realized I already had the maintenance items. My only investment would need to be brush, soap and razor. Viola, I am here today!

Since the gentleman should always have a pocket knife, I chose Rock Creek Knives Higo no Kami:

I recently got the stag handle version and is just as nice in a different way.

Top set is a WIP Kris Cutlery Daisho consisting of Wakizashi & 26III katana, The bottom daisho conists of Ronin Dojo Pro Wakizashi and & katana:

I wound up with 2 sets of tsuba's for the Ronin's:

Frank Beltram 11" Swingguard:

White Musashi:

Hanwei Practical XL (still have and its looking for a new home):
