I say RS should do with his knives whatever he wants to...There are many different reasons we collect these knives and some of those reasons require use and others don't. If you are buying as an investment or as a collector - you would not use them. Possibly even if you were buying to hand down to your son or grandson you might not use - other than this, I would think you would use them for what they were intended....My problem is - I have too many knives and i live in the city so I rarely get the chance to use anything but my EDC. I do get to use them on an occasional fishing trip or hike but that isn't very often - not as often as i like.

So enjoy your knives RS - either through use or just by having something you really like and enjoy owning. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
