Linda Thompson replied to Jan Carter's discussion Do we collect any differently than the men? in the group Bladesmith Babes"I'm not really sure about the differences between Bjorn and me since we just started collecting. Before we just bought knives we wanted to use. But I guess I'm more into classic Scandi knives. I like really old, handmade, one-of-the-kind…"

Linda Thompson replied to Steve"Hog"Hanner's discussion Knife Laws by State/Country"Just to be clear: It is legal to own a balisong or a switchblade in Sweden (if you're 21 or older), you just aren't allowed to carry them around."
Linda Thompson replied to Steve"Hog"Hanner's discussion Knife Laws by State/Country"In Sweden it is illegal to carry knifes, thrusting and cutting weapons or other dangarous objects, which are intended to be used as a weapon in crime against somebody's life or for causing bodily harm, at public places, school areas or in…"
Linda Thompson replied to Scott King's discussion What did you use your EDC for last? in the group EDC Club"Made a bigger hole in my daughter's feeding bottle."
Linda Thompson commented on Scott King's group EDC Club"It's not fuzzy at all, Björn. If you for some reason need a knife you can carry one. If people can't even google the Swedish Police homepage and look up "knife law" it's their problem."

- About Me
- I'm scandinavian with sami roots and I grew up with knives all around me. I can't remember when I got my first knife, I've always had a small collection and I always carry a couple in my handbag. It's only the past few years I've been thinking about really collecting them. Before I have just bought them whenever I needed I knife, but lately I've started looking for knives that I don't really need, I just want them. So I guess I've grown into a collector rather than just a user of knives.
Also, I've started to realize that there are so many more types of knives than I ever knew about. When I grew up there were only scandi knives, and maybe a few swiss army knives. I'll probably always favour scandi knives, but I'm really looking forward to learn more about all those other knives as well.

My buddy Police Officer over there is Jan Hermansson who should be retired or close to retirement. He worked for me when we were UN Police in Kosovo in 2003.
