All About Pocket Knives

David, you have a fine collection which is beautifully displayed. The interior lighting of the cabinets literally highlights the knives.

VERY nice David

Beautiful display David!!!

No Sir, thank you for your comment, it's an antique Jewelers Cabinet. I refinished it this summer and as a matter of fact I just put the labels in the holders.

Very nice job of refinishing that cabinet! How about some pics of what is in the glass fronted cabinet, just barely showing to the left of the refinished cabinet?

Not a lot to brag about, but I'm proud of my collection. The first pic shows the cabinet you referred to along with two more. Then pic's of what is inside the cabinet. The tall one in the middle I'm changing the the knives in it right now. The last pic is another cabinet where I keep my oldest and ornate knives displayed.

HOLY SCHMOLY David!!! WOW!!! Knice collection and you got a GHURKA knife/cigar humidor too!!

From today's walk in the park...

Wow, David! That is quite a collection, very tastefully displayed, too. Is that your man cave?

Scott - that is a really good photo. The texture of those old logs juxtaposed with the texture of the old wood handle and old blade is just about perfect.

Here here . I think that might just be, the very best knife pic you've ever shot IMHO. . I would love a copy for my computer screenshot . Big congrats, one who has reached the "Master Knife Photographer" status . Good on ya mate!
I second that everyone . Beautiful collection you got there David! Real labor of love. Again good on ya mate!

Thanks bro! I'm sure you can right click on it and save it to your computer then upload t to your monitor screen....

Thanks for the comments everyone. I see a lot of good knives and photos from all of you every day.
Dinadan I don't know about it being my man cave, I like to call it my office and "Preservation Room." I tell everyone I'm not collecting knives, I'm preserving history. My wife Cheryl is not buying it though.
Scott I have several fancy cigar and other type boxes that I have "repurposed." I put foam and some type of felt or satin lining on the inside and then use them to display or give a gift to someone. I'm still envious of the old knives you find all the time.

Thanks for posting those pics, David. A lot of great knives very beautifully displayed!

Love the bolster on that knife, Scott!

Scott that is one awesome bit of artistry, a truly great photo. Did you ever think of doing a "Vintage knife" calendar? Maybe you have and I am just not aware of it, I am still new here, but man you sure did well with the subject material in that one.

Thanks

Well done Scott. Lovely old bone and the fix blades handle is very dramatic.

Trace, A couple of nice looking knives and realy nice photos. I especially like the one of the whittler with the sliver of deep blue sky showing, very nice.

Scott, the colors of that fixed blade and the mushrooms......

Well done with those 2 Rotten . Especially the 29er.
