Looks real good Kieth.
Re: Unpacking.....
A lot of history there Keith. Looking good!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Big oops on my part, wasn’t aware of the break-up.
I also got divorced because of my collecting issues. Fortunately I got to keep everything as well. The new wife is also a collector, so we have a healthy co-dependency, becoming pickers for each other. 10 years now without a single disagreement.
She had me agree to a 30-year contract, but she has yet to put anything in writing.

Re: Unpacking.....
Congrats Keith - looks great! You have an eye for arranging your collection to make displays look balanced and attractive. Not one of my talents.

Re: Unpacking.....
Thanks Brad, Ken. I really enjoy the displaying part of collecting. I think one corner of the room is finished.
Re: Unpacking.....
What a great collection and display, Keith. Fine job all the way around. My hat's off to you.

Re: Unpacking.....
Awesome collection Keith. I really like your displays. Your knife room is shaping up very nicely.

Coming together nicely my friend. Have you decided where to put the TV, recliner and fridge full of beer yet?

Re: Unpacking.....
No TV, I have knives to look at, no recliner as I'm always walking looking at the knives, I definitely have a special spot for the beer fridge, it was the first item to find its spot in the room.zp4ja wrote:Coming together nicely my friend.

Re: Unpacking.....
Wow, great. Something to aspire to, your passion for collection definitely shows. Love the hardware store upright displays, glass counter, and advertising pieces especially. I've never seen or handled the bullet knives those things are massive I would love to find that exact display/knives at some point in life.

Thanks guys. Its coming together

Re: Unpacking.....
Keith can I ask how long you've been at it? That is quite the collection. I just have a few dozen knives in different areas of my small place at the moment. One day...espn77 wrote:Thanks guys. Its coming together

At it with focus for about 8 years. Not very long.

Outstanding collection and display setup!
I am lucky enough to have a small 'office' for all my hobbies but I'm not quite as organized or lucky enough to have so many nice ones, although the knives make it into my homemade wall displays pretty quick otherwise they just end up cluttering my desk.
