Hello!
I am inspired by the thread "Cult of the one knife man". There are some interesting and important ideas worth thinking of.
I am collecting and researching knives for almost ten years. I had many of them but all the knives, which I really like, have classic laconic lines. Getting older I became a "classical man": I like classic films, classic rock, blues and jazz. My car is classic sedan. Even my clothes became classic. So there was no interest in continuing collecting modern knives. I wanted to research traditional ones. I think hobby must develop people. And our hobby develops us: we expend our repairing and sharpening skills, we research history and technology of cutlery. Our hobby makes us interesting people.
Another reason for opening this thread is my wedding anniversary and the wonderful gift from my wife - Boker Beer Barrel Wood Whittler knife. I was very pleased with this gift and I want to have this knife with me constantly.
Sure I will have and use other knives. I am supporter of right tool for the job idea. But I am going to carry just one knife.
I want to have a thread to observe changes in my knife and my experience. I started using my Whittler more than a week ago. This is great and high quality knife. As far as I can judge it have only one shortcoming - it is too hard for me to open little blades.
My companion helped me to cut some slivers for fire making.
The next day we've made shavings for the smoker.
This weekend I was whittling toy knife for my little son. He takes part in our family outdoor activities and he is asking for his own knife often.
Today I was disassembling my son's old cot. And used chopping blade to hook some elements.
I became interested in wood works recently. So I hope I would have many chances to use this wonderful knife. And to share my impressions.
