Beautiful Boker Jim, those Clubs are top notch. 😎👍
 
Those are beautiful, particularly that Grohmann. How do you like that Grohmann? Is it worth paying the premium for the stag?
If you collect Stag Knives , then it is worth it . If you just collect knives , then it is a judgement call . I wanted a Grohmann folder for my collection and I also like Stag very much . I was able to get this one for a very good price and it was well worth it IMO . Right now it is not as easy to find decent Stag as it was 5 years ago , so you have to get it when you can .

Here was my thinking, theres nothing Jack hasnt got in the knife world so I tried to get as much from the show he couldnt attend as possible and some other bits..

The Svord is available in the UK but mine I bought in NZ from a hunting shop,smoothed the covers and applied lots of oil (it was 2 months at sea under the seat of my motorbike to get it back to England, it did a lot of miles).
The other 3 where from Roberts stall (RIP) I expect Jack has a lot of IXL but I liked it a lot.
The opinel is almost old new stock without the lock ring as its one of the early ones that came without, it has a good amount of friction to open/close.
The camp knife just took my eye.
The lanyard is from my corp the REME.
A horn/bone? fish knife which i thought was a butter knife or letter oppener it will do all 3. 😁

Yes Jack its a brass pen it unscrews at the top to use hence the lanyard to help you orientate and lower down unscrews to refill,you cant see the joins.
I have fitted a better refill that you cut to fit,no sharp corners so doesent damage pockets.

The other pen is for Iphones/ipads and also is a ball pen as well.

The dished coin was something the stall holder did for no particular reason he said.

Then just lots of stickers and bits and bobs.

Here is the Svord being used in NZ,a lot of outdoors types where using them.



























That was really thoughtful John, I appreciate it :) I'm still gutted I missed the show 😢 I figured you had done something to the Svord, what a special knife, it's great to see the pics of it from your amazing trip :cool: I'm sorry that I never got to meet Robert, but you made some great choices, he certainly had an amazing collection. Thanks for the info on the pen, it's absolutely beautiful. Those are fabulous pics :cool: My great uncle was at Monte Cassino (and at Tobruck and Al Alamein). He joined the Queen's Bays as a boy, a couple of years before the war, and ended up driving tanks. He had one heck of a war (got blown up 3 times). Thanks again for your kindness John, I appreciate everything you included, and the thought that went into it. I'm carrying the Svord today, together with my Sheldon pattern Lambsfoot, which seas165 seas165 recently gifted me :) Hoping to catch up later, but have a great weekend everyone :thumbsup:
