I used to work for a prosthetic maker, oddly enough, and yep, he had a can for just such an emergency. oddly enough. They went through a lot of that stuff.

I found a nice little page about knife collecting, evidently written by Darrel Ralph, the following is some key points. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Are you the type of person that remembers that special pocket knife your Dad gave you? You were 12 and had just completed the hunter safety course at the fire hall. Life was good! Do you still have the knife in your dresser drawer? Do you take it out to just feel the feel of it from time to time? If you do, you are not alone. That’s how many knife collectors got their start, collecting something they love and respect.

But how do you know what kind of knives to collect? Approaches you could take with knives could be: factory knives, handmade knives, pocket knives(folders), fixed-blade knives, old knives, art knives, swords from certain historical periods, knives by only one maker and ad infinitum.

If you choose to collect custom knives made by one particular maker, it is a good idea to develop a working relationship with him (or her)! You can have custom knives made for you, personally. You will appreciate the attention to detail that a good knifemaker will give your knives, and he will appreciate your return business.
