(SOTC) State of the Collection - Latest Edition

[Tinpanva]

So I've been collecting for many years, not really seriously until the last 10 or so years. So many great knives! I started with old Barlow's and other slip-joints and then got into assisted opening, modern slip-joints, automatics, and now I'm back where it all started. Traditional slip-joints. It feels right, natural, and oh so pleasing in the hand. I'd say its full circle.

Looks like a very eclectic collection.

A real standup collection of knives you have there.
What do you like to carry?
I'm intrigued by your creative display in the top picture. Did you fashion that?

My daily is a TC Barlow in sawcut goldenrod bone. Fits nicely in a GEC slip. I’m not going to publicly acknowledge just how many knives I’ve lost from them slipping out my pocket (don’t wear jeans).Doh!

The layout? Yeah, I picked two of my most favorites and just worked out from there. Leaving some negative space to draw you to my center knives. I’m also a bit of a Photog nut. Seems all my hobbies are expensive. I should examine that.

Or….. do you mean the cabinet? If so, it’s the Holme & Hadfield Armada.

Thank you. Tinpanva.
Actually, I was remarking on the round retainers that hold your knives.
