Hey all,
So a friend of mine who collect comic books was asking about "The Knife" the one we'd all go nuts over and everyone has an eye out for.
I tried to explain that there are so many interests and focuses in the knife collecting world that there really isn't one. Some folks like Barlows so the Russell Barlow maybe? but what about the folks who just like collecting case Barlows (surely there is such a fella or lass?), then there grail would be something else.
Anyway he said there was a comic or two that he, and most other, comic book collectors would go crazy over, I was wondering if a few more learned and well knowing here might be able to enlighten me, is there such a traditional knife that all want no matter what? feel free to post about what your "one" knife may be, of course, but I think other threads cover "grail" knives kind of well and I don't mean to create another one and clog up the forum. But is there a The "grail knife" with a capital "T"
I don't tend to keep many so it's hard to say I have an specific interest so mayeb that's the problem. I'm interested in no one area of traditional knives exclusively enough to be able to say a "one" knife. But I do favor Roberson (lot to learn before I'd pick a Roberson that all Roberson likes would want though) Schrades (8OT maybe?) and TL-29's (I like my Roberson TL-29, but a large part of that is that it was a gift from a very generous forum member here. And GEC, of course, (my 68 is my edc for example)
Anyway, here are some pictures in case this thread has been a total waste for you so far:
GEC 868 and a Roberson I found in a junk box
barlows that don't need introduction
an 8OT I edc sometimes
schrade TL-29 with lockback and ebony,
thanks for checking it out
