In Reply to: Annual knife show just wrapped up here and I discovered the beauty of the posted by tinear on April 14, 2014 at 08:05:24:
Hi TE,
I had a similar experience some years back when I discovered the local knifemakers' guild and their wares at one their annual shows.
After drooling all over the knives on show, I decided to start a small and defined collection, so for the next 12 months I set aside a fixed amount per month and, when the next show came along, I performed a hysterectomy on the piggy-bank and took the accumulated funds along to the show and found a knife that fitted my combined requirements of budget and design.
This process was repeated for ~6 years until I had collected what I had set out to collect, at which stage I stopped going to the shows (and buying knives).
The pics below represent the bulk of the collection of custom knives (apart from the Al Mar Fairbairn-Sykes dagger). The others include a bayonet of indeterminate age/origin, a kukri of similar provenance and some gifts from well-meaning family members.
Knives that have been well-crafted are magnificent - which is why I put a limit on this collection... :-)
