Thanks, Jack!!!

I just realized I have a lot of Cuban-sourced boxes - maybe illegal in the U.S.A???

I think you are fine with the boxes, but cigars are still illegal.
Which is sad.

Somehow - I wish I still smoked - Cigars!!!

Here in Canada, I think they are the preferred choice!! Cubans that is!!

there was a brief moment when they were legal, alas the legislation was quickly reversed.

Thanks Bob, those are by Samuel Barlow, Enos Furness, (that might actually be Enoch Furness, I did some research on it some years ago, but forget now), Squire Elijah Oates, and George Wostenholm

Hey, that's a nice one. I'm glad you're still liking it.

Er...I don't actually know how many knives I have! I tried to get a BIT more organised a few years ago though, and bought some Dymo tape!

There are about 40 cigar boxes, with the knives inside roughly classified, then there are a couple more with the knives I'm currently carrying regularly. A few knives are still in the boxes/tubes they came in, or in pouches, and knife rolls. Then there are several hundred more contained in 5 storage units like this (below), plus two similar units. They are roughly classified, according to type, clasp knives for example, or Scout knives, but a couple of the units just contain an assortment.

Fixed blades knives are in various cupboards, drawers, and boxes, in two rooms, (plus really big knives, and axes, in another room), and there are 2 large boxes under my bed with Sheffield table cutlery and kitchen knives. There are 2 large shoeboxes containing knives that need to be cleaned-up a bit, in another room, and at any one time, there are around 50 knives just kind of lying around, on my desk, coffee table, kitchen table, etc Living alone allows me to get away with it!

I hope your knives don't all go in a skip when you move on, may your departure be far off.
