Jason, absolutely beautiful! I stared at this picture for ages, looking at each knife. Very impressive!

I meant to add, my favourite is the big guy on the right hand side, with the wrapped cord handle (similar to a Strider). What a beautiful knife!

I'm more than a little envious......great stuff.

Very nice diverse collection. I'm alot like you, rtoo...I don't have many knives, but each one is special to me. Tell me about the case that your knives are displayed in.

 

[SharpByCoop]

Nice diversity. Yup, Mace is a fine score. Nice presentation.

I gotta get me one of those Boye/Francine knives someday.... :thumbup:

Thanks everyone, it's nice to share with people who appreciate knives.

I'm happy to say I met Francine, she works out of her house in Watsonville, CA. Such a nice lady and she's so very talented. You really should take a look at her etchings when you have time:

The case I purchased in Santa Cruz from a street vendor who was peddling silver. I told him the silver was nice, but the cracked case was what intrigued me, all part of framing the knives.

I'll leave you with a close-up picture of my favorite folder:

Thanks again everyone, love to see all of your collections so post some pics!

Kind Regards,
Jason

That's gorgeous. I really like the smaller Mace.

Do you have a closeup of the etching on the Boye?
