Knife Collection
Hen & Rooster

 

"Knife Collecting" can be a very fun and rewarding hobby!
Pictured: A sample of my very small knife collection. I started out trying to focus on only American Made Pre-WWII knives, however, along the way I ran across knives that appealed to me that were either, not American made, or were manufactured after WWII or both.

The photo gallery below has examples from my small knife collection. Mostly American-made pocket knives manufactured prior to WWII.
