All About Pocket Knives

Madmarco wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2020 8:01 pm Being older, retired, and not in the best of health I don't get out of the house like I use to, so the need to carry a knife on a daily basis just isn't there. But, I still very much like to have a knife beside me on the table while I'm on my laptop or watching TV., as this brings me much pleasure to simply hold, admire, open letters, or cut strings with, so I pick 1 knife each day to take it's place on my table. I have heard members refer to these as "desk" or "office" knives, but I'm going to call them my "comfort" knives,...

Agree with the Bone Comfort TopDog, but I can't get no, I can't get no satisfaction with Rum anymore. Nice old Bone!

Funny you should mention "satisfaction" CxIII .... I find that, When I'm driving in my car, When a man come on the radio, He's telling me more and more:

About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction... Yeah .... I can't get much satisfaction with anything but knives anymore....

Hey guys!
Thanks for your knice words, John, and I was doing well until recently. I had a blur in my right eye, and it turned out to be a full blown cataract that totally blew-up after I left the Dr. It' has completely blurred my vision making typing a real job, not to mention trying to look after myself day to day. The worst part is a 9 month wait for eye surgery, but now that I have developed some kind of routine, I will check in as often as possible so ya'll know I'm still kickin'. I can't contribute much, since it's really tiring, but at least I can be here in spirit.
In a short 9 months I'll be back posting and wowing you with my tales of the knife!
Thanks for keeping the CKT relevant, brothers! Beautiful pieces you're all posting!
Mark.

I also put some effort into refurbishing this old metal counter top display. Almost no humans outside of my family will see these down here. Bit of a misnomer to call them "displays" then if they won't be seen; they're for my comfort and enjoyment

Still have one space to fill on the metal display, and still some real estate in the glass case. The jewelry tower cabinet to the left also recently had a user collection move in.
