<div>Yep. I had yet another project...</div>
<div>I recently got a kiridashi for my woodworking.</div>
<div>Not a real top end, super nice kiridashi, but something that I could afford more easily. The kiridashi had grind marks on the edge, the handle and blade cover was quite rough.</div>
<div>So I sanded all the wood down and reshaped the very tip of the blade cover a bit. Of course I had to refinish the entire thing now. :)</div>

<p>If I am honest with myself I have to admit that I am more of an accumulator than a collector of knives. Part of that description is that I struggle with just how to segregate the many, many factors that identify these things. <br/> Here are some folders that contain some of my"accumulation" and you will see that some are grouped by manufacturer, some by style, some by handle material, some by unknown factors. How do some of you address this question?</p>
