Your Guide To Collecting Knives

- Ren Alcantara
Looking Sharp

Knives are some of the tools known to mankind. Ever since we figured out how to bang stones together, we’ve realized that blades make daily life so much easier. Through millennia, we’ve developed better and better ways to make these tools more effective, from better materials, designs, and construction. As such, there are a lot out here you might want to own, both to use, and to keep. Both are valid reasons, and the rich world of blade collecting has a lot to get into.

So strap in and let’s get started.

What to grab

There are many different reasons to collect knives. First is to cover different use scenarios. Knives for camping, daily carry, food preparation, and fighting, are all going to be different. While they are all meant to cut, different knives are of course, suited to different tasks. If you disagree, try to prepare a meal with a karambit, and get back to me.

What are you buying?

 Collecting knives is a peculiar hobby, since the knife is a tool that is made to be used, so the one thing you might want to consider as you go down this path is a knife you can use, since the first kind of cool is the kind where you get to use your stuff. Consider the tasks you go through in a day, and what kind of blade suits that. This first choice is likely going to set you down a path that will build a collection based on that style of blade. These blades are most likely to see use, but when cared for properly, should outlast the owner.
