I once met a fellow knifenut
who showed me his "knife collection".
It really was a trunk full.
I had to ask him "but..why?!!".
He said it was part of his prepardness plan.
What he figured out was that
when "the time came",
any sorta field cutlery would
come in handy for barter trades.
I dunno,
but i suppose i would never know
every possible or imagined reasons
for storing up more than a lifetimes
worth of cutlery; somehow i gather
there is always going to be
that one " knife noah" out there some where
building up a grand collection
awaiting for the next great flood
Indeed, life on this planet
is already proving itself to be seemingly unpredictable weatherwise;
with just enough signs as forewarnings
for one to not completely rule out the long term effects of climate change
and of what future important roles a knife or two could play then ... ;-)
