I like the family collection idea. Great pictures of a great collection, too!
Thanks Buddy! ::handshake:: :D

Uncle Tom or "Onkel Tom" was my "Nick-Name" when I worked 14 years in a Bosch factory. ::tu::

The Blue Grass knife is a Böker pen knife in very good condition. I like it but I could part with it if someone really wanted it for their collection. :wink: ::tu:: :D

I'll keep a lookout for one. Thanks for the information!

AWESOME creativity, Tom. ::tu:: I've got some of those tiny barrel magnets; however, my simple stands don't come close to your ingenuity and display. All I did was drill a hole in wood pieces and tapped in some magnets and called it good. ::facepalm:: Now you've got me thinking in a competitive mindset. :mrgreen:

Nice collection, too. ::tu::
