Long ago, in the mists of time, when I was a new poster here, some of my earliest threads were about my hunt for the Sharp and Pointy, and about cleaning and fettling the knives I picked up. I posted a series of Round Yorkshire With A Knife posts, and there was also The Wizard's Quest series, which I posted along with threads on Sheffield cutlery history, etc. Unfortunately, every time the BF software has been messed around with, older threads have had their content scrambled, their photo links destroyed, and have often become unsearchable, or even disappeared. Hence, I don't really post threads like that anymore, why bother? :mad:

However, I was still picking up a fair few pocket knives, and they began to accumulate on my kitchen table, so I posted a series of threads about the state of my table! :D Not much point linking to those threads, as there's barely anything left of them :( Eventually, I had to clear the table, so I moved all the knives into a couple of boxes. I kept making occasional posts (links to the two most recent - I think - below), but as I feared, with the boxes tucked away in a spare bedroom, I forgot about them, for the most part! 😣



meako meako referenced the table in Johnnythefox Johnnythefox 's Sharp Show thread, which had already reminded me of the shame of all those knives, tucked away, in my spared bedroom :rolleyes: I'd tell you this (below) is the current shameful state of play, but I've already realised there's a full box of pocket knives missing :rolleyes: I need to find more time! 😟

We all have this same problem, that’s why we are here 😂.
My side table where I sit has so many piled up around the edges that when I put a new one on, it pushes one or two off the ledge.

I don’t try to hoard everything sharp and pointy, I like to think I go for quality, my problem is that I often find qualities in nearly everything sharp and pointy.

Oh, these aren't actually part of my collection yet, not formally at least! ;) Otherwise they'd be in the other room, with the 1000+ knives there :eek: I tell myself I'm saving history! :rolleyes: 🤣:thumbsup:
 
As you can see, I have a bit of a problem (this isn't even ONE of the boxes (and I just found a load of other stuff)! :eek:

The knives look much more desirable and valuable when organized and arrayed like this than they do jumbled in the box, Jack! :thumbsup: 🤓 :thumbsup:
When I saw the box photo, I thought you had a problem, but this photo shows that you know what you're doing after all. 😁:cool:
(That naked little serpentine on the right end of the middle row is a knife that can tug heart strings!)

Maybe I need to do something with the rest of my collection! :eek: :D ;) :thumbsup:

Yeah?! :rolleyes: :D That Richards is less naked on the pile side, but I reckon I can do something about that ;) :D :thumbsup:
It’s exactly like that, my local liquor store actually still has one of those machines in use, lol. Small towns
:cool:
...because you are! Saving history that is, if not you then who Jack? :thumbsup:
Thanks James ;) :thumbsup:
 
Really looking forward to this thread with much interest! :thumbsup: 🤠
