I have quite a number of slightly weird, recherche collections already. So if I now started buying up scores of small, ornate, antique penknives I suspect my friends and family might stage an intervention.
And although your personal seal of approval should rightfully be beyond reproach, I fear it might not meet the level of validation they would require as proof that I hadn't gone completely stark raving mad.
Though maybe I should, you're right. Just one or two. If I see something nice next time...
A cute little Toyama Dama petty.
I was visiting the brother over the weekend and found this Japanese knife set that belonged to our father. They are pretty rusty, but I might clean them up as a project.
Arrived today. Early Christmas to myself.

Wasn't going to purchase but after reflection I did for nostalgia sake. Lotta memories of times spent afield with a Buck 110.
I ordered the Woodsman.
Wish I could afford to purchase the set but they wouldn't see much use.

Arrived today. Liner is stiff but will wear smooth over time. Well pleased.

I have three knives incoming. This is the first of two similar Kizers. It is a very snappy non locking flipper the Kizer Mini Bay.
You really can open it an close it quickly and safely with just your finger tip. It snaps both ways, and, if it does open or close only partially, the flipper is easily manipulated with out any action. While it does not lock it is held firmly enough that I would feel comfortable using it for common tasks.
I had thought this would be more friendly than any of my edc knives being non locking with it’s 1.9” blade, but, it is so fun I think it could spook someone. Never mind, there is a Swiss Army Knife on the way too, as well as this knife’s liner lock big brother. I forgot I also have a Spyderco on the way too.

Picked up these 3 trappers. Nice fat stag on two of them.
Is that a Buck 110?
Yes it is.
Very nice. Who did the work?
Victorianox Alox Pionier Swiss Army Knife.
Spyderco Blue Tenacious Light Weight.

Will you carry the Tenacious clipless?
Yes, I am picky about clips. I don’t like for the end of the knife to stick out. I would rather have it in my pocket.
I see, there might be a deep carry aftermarket solution @rudygu ?
How about this one?
