Beautiful swords. Where did you get them from?

Assortment of Case, Victorinox, and Gerbers. An Ek single-edge circa 1970. Same era Grohmann/Russell Canadian Belt Knife (by far my favorite hunting/skinning knife).

Thanx. The Cheness from a distributor in South Australia. The others imported from manufacturers & other distribs.

Don't worry about it. Not everyone has a collection running into the thousands (I know I don't...I don't have a single piece that cost over $265 and most of the pieces I have were 120 euro's or less)

That's not reason not to be proud of what you HAVE collected though.

Just added a few pieces to my collection. We had a knife show yesterday and I spent WAY more then I should have. Brought home some lovely goodies though.:

A friction folder that I traded for a piece I made for someone else. (We exchanged pieces that we made for each other)


A hand forged knife made from a carbon steel spring that came so sharp that a friend who also bought one had it in his coat pocket....got cut through his coat pocket and the carboard that he was carrying it in in two fingers.



A handmade kwaiken from carbon steel with visible temper/hardening line and gorgeous wrapped handle.

Well, shucks. I finally get around to taking pics of my knives today and ran into some bad luck. I cannot find the cable that goes from my camera to the computer. OOOOOH, just thought of something.... Will post back.




There! I got 'em up!!

Good stuff!! you've got some nice ones there! A couple of Buck classics and some nice looking Gerbers.

Nothing to be ashamed of I say.
