I have an obsession with collecting. Knives are my main collectors item but I also collect movies, Rubiks's Cubes and coins. I have 859 movies as of this past Tuesday and continue to grow every week. I have 20 or so Rubik's cubes and get a new one every time I see a different one. I am currently learning how to speed cube and can solve it in 56 seconds. My goal is 20 seconds. My dad collects coins and has passed the collecting bug down to me. I have my own coin collection and will some day inherit my fathers.

I currently have several different themes of knives I collect. I also have a small collection of 50 web addressees (domain names). I have knife company related memorabilia (displays, letterheads, knife boxes, etc). I collect old books and catalogs related to knife companies and cutlery history.

I have some other "stuff" but these are the patterns that make up collections.
My knife collection and arsenal of firearms grew out of necessity as much as desire...

I have a collection of baseball cards, I collect differant match books that I find. Thats getting alot harder because of the no smoking inside public places in my state. Then of course I have knives .
So Scott, With your web addressess are these just strickly ones that you go to and use? Just curious.
Thanks


When I was a teenager until my late 20's I used to collect comics. Wolverine of the X-MEN was and still is my favorite character. The plan back then was to open a comic shop when I retire. I still have over 50,000 comics in those collector boxes (300ct)...comics in mylar sleeves and acid-free boards...lol!

Plan changed several times. When I retire within the year I plan to open up a shop and sell knives and tactical gear. Already an official Dealer for Alpha Innovation Self Defense and got some other things in the works...
Now that is cool! Keep us informed.
I like to carve duck and fish decoys and have small collections of both. I don't really pursue the ducks but have collected a few besides the ones that I have carved.I like to antique the ones that I have carved. Spearfishing through the ice - (darkhouse spearing) is still legal & popular in western Minnesota where I live. I like to carve & make fish decoys which are used to lure northern pike within spearing range. I make them with both wooden & metal tails & do make them to swim. I do collect and sell fish decoys and really enjoy talking about them, their history, recognizing other carver's fish. etc.
Hi J.T. - I just retired the first of the year & have a small business selling knives & hunting/fishing collectibles. I don't make any money but have a good time visiting with the customers & feeding my own collections.
Sounds like an enjoyable hobby Randy. Got any pics you can share with us.
Besides guns and knives, I also have a cartridge collection, and about 60 motorcycle models (mostly H-D, but customs & others as well). Even some miniature cars (hot wheels and matchbox), and my bay window is home to a model military plane collection. Collecting has been an addiction for me!......But, a fun one.
Nice...envious...enjoying yourself...cool! "Living well is the best revenge..."
