Sharpen Your Knife to a Razor Sharp Edge Can you grip your knife slightly and cut through a fruit while using very little pressure? Even better, can you shave the hair on your arm, provided there is hair to shave, by scraping slightly against the growth? These are tests of sharpness when it comes to your knife. If you are like me, you will want your knife collection to stay as sharp as possible. The Iconic Pocket Knife and the Representation of Manhood Every man should carry a pocket knife. You ask why? Well, I would be honored to break it all down for you. The pocket knife means so much to the man. It is not exactly the measure of the man; but it certainly is an icon for him. How to Sharpen Your Knife With a Sharpening Steel There are many ways to sharpen a knife. This guide will show you the most common and basic method of knife sharpening. All blades are different and you will find that the steel used in the production of the knife makes a big difference in how it sharpens and maintains an edge. What Is It About the Collectible Knife? One of the most interesting hobbies that I have found is knife collecting. The collectible knife is something that is full of history and legend. Many of the most famous Americans are noted because of the knives they carry. Why Collectible Pocket Knives? Collectible pocket knives are a topic that is so interesting to me because of the fact that knives are so fascinating. There is a story behind every knife, design, handle material, their owners and so much more. I want to tell you about why I collect pocket knives. The Twisted Tactical Knife Collector The tactical knife is called tactical for the obvious reason of design. The design is implemented with the purpose of creating the perfect professional tool. The tactical knife is meant to suit a particular user may he or she is a police officer, soldier or outdoorsman. The Many Styles of Bowie Knives The first ever Bowie knife came to be when James Bowie's brother, Rezin Bowie had made a long hunting knife for himself, but gave it to his brother James when he went to a duel. James ended up using the knife to defend himself while he was down and they say the rest is history. Everyone wanted a Bowie knife. Hunting and Fighting Knife Collections Since the discovery of iron and later, other metal alloys used in weapon and tool making, the knife is probably the most popular equipment ever produced. During the Stone Age, sharp-edged stones are tied to a long wooden handle to make the spear, which is widely thought to be the first weapon and hunting gadget. But the idea of a knife may have been earlier as archeologist theorized that humans used sharpened wood or stone in killing a game, and probably the use of a spear with a longer handle. Weapons of Death Become Art - Katana Sword Collecting The Katana swords were made as a weapon of death, and today there is a huge area of Katana sword collecting. Now that they are becoming real art and not the objects of their intended purpose, the katana swords are being displayed in bedrooms and showrooms across the country. The Bowie Knife: A Collector's Guide The starting point of serious collection would not be just a moment ago, but years back. Bowie knife collection has been well celebrated for compilation means, and not really for its utilization purposes. More than using them, knife "lovers" have been more at ease placing them in glass stands for keepsakes. The Hardcore Knife Collector's Display Methods My favorite scheme is a simple military medals style shadow box made of varnished wood. The shadow box makes a distinguished knives display and can even be customized to hold a small light to brighten up the exhibit. These shadow boxes are comparatively inexpensive and can be located in some of your large hobby shops or even at the all-purpose department store for five or ten bucks. Collecting the Original Rambo Knife The original Rambo knife was inspired by Sylvester Stallone and created by a professional knife maker. This genre of knife was something I loved as a kid and owned several different versions growing up. Being a collector of the original Rambo knives is very exciting for me. Tactical Knives Variety for the Collector and Practical User Tactical knives first began as pre-tactical knives in 1990 when one of the best known knifemakers, Ernest Emerson, refused to use any part of a plant or animal that was endangered. He began incorporating exotic materials such as paua and abalone shells, rare woods and mother-of-pearl. The blades were either hand rubbed or highly polished. The pre-tactical knives were made famous by their bright colored handles and the prominent use of clip point blades. Knife Collecting: A Great Hobby for Young and Old Beginning with knowing what types of knives are out there and which ones are real and which are fakes or counterfeits, you must do some homework before purchasing your first knife. Even experts who have been collecting knives for years have been duped by counterfeits and fakes because they were not paying close enough attention to the details. Collecting Fantasy Daggers and Knives In the world of collectibles, fantasy items such as daggers and knives always are a popular hit with many different people. Go to a knife show and you will see plenty of people surrounding the fantasy knives and daggers collection. What is it about these designs that strike us as fascinating? It is the design or the function? Keep Those Collectible Pocket Knives Forever You should not buy a pocket knife for you pocket knife collection outside of the mainstream manufactured brands if you want it to appreciate. It is likely that it will not be worth anything if you buy some knockoff brand. About the only knives that go way up in value that are not name brand are custom made knives.
