I don't get it, Jan?  What's the theme of the collection?  (ducking and covering)

I call that collection, "Hard Work"...lol  Thanks Miss Jan, you have me beat by one. I think by wanting to limit this to 3 to 6 knives, everyone is putting up the crème of the crop...that's just what I wanted. Remember, you can post more than once.

Robert just to be contrary to your hypothesis. Here is a selection of my "Looked better on eBay" knives

The top is a bartender made by Ideal.  The blade steel is pathetic.  It is also too small to be of any use.  I've got paper clips that keep their shape better than the corkscrew that is held in place by friction alone.

Next up the souvenir of Florida. I got it along with three other knives for $4. (including shipping).  figure how could I go wrong, especially as one of the knives was a Wenger Esquire.  I think the Esquire must've been run over by a steam roller.  The handles were glued back on and the scissors were so wobbly they were unserviceable.  This was the best of the four knives.

The bottom is a Japanese twine knife.  It actually isn't half bad. Part of a six for $5 bid.  The other have long since been trashed. This one is good for cutting twine.  There is no back spring, the blade just fits in a slot in the handle.  Definitely not worth $5!    As a matter of fact I put the value of all three combined at $0.00.  Yet they are a priceless reminder to pay attention when bidding on eBay!  Maybe I can feel that seahorse off the bartender and use at as a shield on a real knife?

Thanks for the effort, Miss Jan, that's a grand photo. "What comes next" is a good question. Since the last knife was a knock down, drag out ordeal.

  John, that is a fine Case Trapper collection.

  I wonder, does the value go up on knives in a fine collection?
