Collectibles for use? I tried that once. I collect the old handmade Bucks from the 40's and 50's. I felt I was doing Hoyt Buck a diservice by not using the knives he made so I brought a lucite 105 to hunting camp. I got as far as strapping it on my belt before I came to my senses and stapped on a 428 Selector instead. As much brush busting and hill climbing as I do, that old lucite knife would have been beat up or even lost.
Now I have a 40's Buck that I rehandled in modern lucite (the original handle was gone) and thats one collectible that I do use.
I guess the 103 Skinner from the 60's is considered a collectible so I'm good there as well.
Heck the machete is pretty rare so I guess my original list was fine all along! Sorry to waste your time.
Great thread!
