:eek: :eek: :eek: WOW nice collection!!!! Bet that only took ya 10 minutes to set up ;) Thanks for sharing...


Chris D.:D
 
two first thoughts. I'm definitely in awe and - my wife would KILL ME!

oh, lord, but that is NICE!!! WELL DONE!!!:thumbup: :D :thumbup:
 
3rd thought - lust over two blue circles UMFAANs!!

A blue zig-zag!!! WOW! I didn't know they made them!! I feel faint...
 
Now I know what I should spend my life savings on:D :thumbup: :thumbup:

I WISH! Nice collection!
 
Thanks for the kind words, this is the result of almost nine years of collecting. The bottom seven in the center row are the ones that get carry time, very occationally I will pull out a Mnandi or SWIS.

Nuke, the blue zig-zag was a special order, one of a kind as far as I know.
 
Not to be rude, but what would you ballpark the value of that collection to be? Some of those I've never even seen or heard of before. VERY impressive!
 
I'm not sure you can put a value on something like that (if you do most people would faint).
 
Unbelivable collection! :eek: Well Done!

Whats the leather desk pad? Is that just for displaying a knife on? Cool looking!

My favorites there.....the LDC Sebenzas...dream of finding one of those someday:)
 
Outstanding collection, James!
I think you are missing a few, however: 25th Anniversary Knifemaker's Guild set; Mokume Inlay Sebenza; Gold Coin Sebenza series; "Southwest" mosaic damascus Sebenza. You probably have these in the closet and forgot to bring them out? ;)
 
-do you leave them out on display like that all the time?
-what is your address?


j/k, beautiful collection.
