Wow, having that many pocket knives isn’t creepy at all
Explain? It’s not like I collect combat knives, or swords, or anything that’s specifically intended as a weapon, I’ve built that lot up over roughly forty years, the SAK being one example, the four Spyderco knives on the left are all at least twenty years old, the CoPilot, third one up on the left, was discontinued after 9/11, I think I bought that one somewhere around ’93-95, it was the only knife that could be legally carried onto an aircraft in the US up ’til then, hence the name.
I like knives as useful, well designed tools, and I’ve built up a small collection, all of those have been used and carried at some point, but increased paranoia about ‘knife crime’ has meant that most don’t leave the house any more, the yellow Tasman Hawksbill Salt used to go with me every time I went out for a ride, the perfect tool for quickly slicing off overhanging brambles and briars on cycle paths, as I was a Sustrans Ranger, and the stretch I covered was old railway line with loads of bushes alongside, so with that knife, all I needed to do was stop and just slash through in one cut, a brilliant tool.
It’s designed for fishermen to carry on trawlers and fishing boats for cutting through netting and the like.
Brambles stand no bloody chance!
