Which member’s knife collection do you admire the most?

TheFactor said:
It doesn’t have to be a custom posted in the custom knife sub IMO to make it a great collection.
Most importantly Doesn’t have to be a custom knife collection to be admired. I have many cold steel knives that aren’t customs that I am proud to have in my modest collection.
Many folks can’t afford a solely custom knife collection including myself . Sometimes it’s more about what makes you happy and the quality along with usefulness for there application and needs .

He didn't say or imply any of that. If you inferred that, that's on you.

He simply stated what he admired, just like everyone else in this thread.

And to keep it on track, Chefget Chefget has a pretty stellar collection.

Makandr, who used to post in the gallery section. Most of the pics are gone, but if you remember him, you remember how awesome the collection was. All eras, all price points, all countries......

Yep! When I saw this thread that's immediately who I thought of. He has / had? an immense collection literally hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of knives. I asked him what he did for a living once and he was very enigmatic. I'm thinking like Russian oligarch or mob boss or something😁. I wonder what happened to that guy.

I was going to mention him. I recall seeing pictures of rooms lined with shelves completely filled with knives from every corner of the world and every time period. Like a museum, if the museum had a half dozen of each artifact. No covetousness, just awe and wonder.

After the newness subsides, pool tables have several good uses ... for me it made a great bench for wrappin' the kid's xmas gifts way after midnight for "friggen Santa"! 🤬

I have owned it for 3 years and I still play a few nights a week. Also, a few guys on my street come over a couple of times a month for pool night. But it also makes a good place to put out the collection for inventory.

Actually , I tend to have a lot more interest in those knives (and other things ) that I might realistically be able to afford/obtain . :cool:

Endless unrequited mooning over some unreachable love object , not my idea of fun . 🥹
 
Well, Lapedog was the only other one I saw sporting a Mosquito Tactical Puppy, and he helped me get a Black Void Opus. I didn't talk to him much, but we seemed to have had similar taste in knives. I'm not sure it was admiration, exactly: more like seeing somebody else from across the room who was wearing a tie with the same pattern, and wanting to talk to them because that tie was hard to find.

I still admire Charlie Mike's knives, because they are part of his story.

Anybody who saw Ed Wood's contributions to the EDC thread was sure to appreciate them.

Among members who are active? Junglefighter's assortment of Serious Business tools always gets my attention, although I can't say how much of that is "Town Boy prepper fantasy".

Zephyr One Zero. Big, silly Cold Steel folders, and big dumb folding knives in general are something I enjoy.

Ferider has an eye for quality, and actually uses them, unlike me who just cuts tape and those stupid pull-tab seals on drink bottles. I'm too lazy to split my own firewood, so it's as much about admiring the work ethic as the tools.
