This thread brought a smike to my face. It reminded me of a friend who passed some fifteen or so years ago. Some time after he passed, his wife asked myself and two other of his friends to help her catolog his firearms (no Parkers), took several hours to complete the list a very eclectic collection. Much like the individual of did the collecting. It was a three day event to auction his toys. First day, the firearms, second day, his knife collection and the last day a collage of items.
His knife collection was primarily folders as I recall. I can't hazard a quess at the number of knives, but I do recall the sale started at 8am and lasted past the dinner hour. There were some serious buyers paying some serious dollars that day. I know there were several pages in the sale catolog listing the knives.
Myself, not much of a knife person. Every day carry is either a Craftsman #95231 or a Camillus "Yello-Jaket". My belt knife is a Bowen #3495 all of which are easy to keep shaven sharp with just an Arkansas stone.
