Cate, we moved from a three level three bedroom home to a one level two bedroom home. Lots smaller and easier to take care of. Of my personal stuff, my greatly downsized knife accumulations consists of;
A Northwoods stockman,
Camillus made Remington peanut.
Sardinian Resolza.
Italian zuava.
A Christy knife.
Wenger SI
Victorinox tinker.
Victorinox bantam.
Victorinox classic.
Leatherman micra.
Leatherman Squirt.
Buck 303 cadet.
Buck 102 woodsman.
Opinel number 8.
Old handmade folding knife made on the Moran farm by a German POW in 1943 or so.
12 inch Ontario machete.
18 inch Ontario Machete.
9 inch cut down English machete dad made after WW2.
Knife block on kitchen counter with Victorinox/Forschner rosewood handle butcher knife.
Wenger Chefs knife.
Victorinox serrated paring knife.
Victorinox serrated bread knife.
That's it. They take care
Edit to add; I forgot Karen's choice of cutlery. Karen always, if she's up and out with her purse over shoulder, has her little Victorinox classic in a keyring sheath like I keep mine in. In her purse very often is 'my' Italian zuava that she's taken a shine to. Likes it as her fruit and pastry knife. When I can't find it in my nylon zipper pouch that serves to hold my modest accumulation, I know Karen has it. In her hiking daypack is a stainless steel mora sheath knife, and a sliding blade Fiskars wood saw.
But she loves her classics, and has red, purple, yellow, blue, and some of the prints that Victorinox makes. She, like daughter Jessica, love Victorinox small SAK's. I think it's the scissors and nail file that do it.
