OK, curious, what brings this nice knife to this particular thread?

At the time of my wife attacking me with the family law court my collection was valued roughly at 7K aud. It was a part of the soul destroying process of having my home, ,family, love, personal possessions and most of all ...memories and sense of place....reduced to a monetary figure and amputated by a pack of obscenely overpaid legal jackals with the threat of imprisonment should I have been inclined to retrieve my belongings. And heres me thinking armed robbery is still a crime.
She paid the entire bill ...I withdrew my legal costs from what was still my mortgage...and they fought me for it....enough for 3 knife collections and a decent used car for both Sons....I kept my pension intact ...and I still have my collection...which at the time of writing this is larger and undoubtedly more valuable...My team were angling for an extended proceeding$$$....Ive always preferred to walk away from a fight when Ive spoken my mind....not everyone agrees ..so what? I took a massive financial hit but Sons still live in the home they grew up in...whatever decisions are made by their mum regarding that in the future are hers alone...I can only hope they are wise ones ....so far thats not looking likely...
So make hay while the sun shines because theres one thing money can't buy...poverty.

 

I was going to make a comment and then deleted it (left the pic of the knife).have a good evening
