OK, since we typically don't like making changes and particularly making resolutions, I'll lead by example and start us off-

 

I RESOLVE: to refocus on my elephant toenail collection by not going astray following trendy/cool new designs and customs (sorry custom fans). Over the years, I've "invested" too much $$ & time playing in an arena that has kept me from my passion- my pursuit of good OLD elephant toenails!

Until late this last year it's been many years since I really added anything to my collection.  My resolution is simply to add to it.  I finally got a new good folder and replaced my tanto I've been missing for many years.  This year I hope to add much more and enjoy doing that with my girlfriend as she expands her collection.

Well then, is she a member here? :) We have dozens of lady folks who are iKC members, fyi. We'd love to have her here too.

I think I might sell a few this year, I mostly have knives to use, not really for collection purposes, so I might sell a knife gathering dust to someone who might actually use it.

Did I hear someone say "toenail"? :)

Until the September of 2010, I hadn't bought any knife for 2 years. This year,I will at least add a knife to my collection every two month. In the first half of 2011, I will be focusing on waki sized blade, buying at least two more wakizashi  to fill up my sword display.

I resolve to expand my japanese style this year!!
