Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

Its been crossing my mind alot lately about what to do with my collections. Esp. Knives.

Lets just say for instance: 

you have about 250 Knives.

And 8 Grandchildren.

Would you put aside certain ones for certain children? or would you sell some and cut down your collection?

or would you just not think about it right now because you have maybe 20 years left?

Maybe you would do nothing and let someone else worry about it? haha.

Yea, but you will still need to catalog them. The kids may not know how valuable some knives are and what to say when trying to sell them.

Good point, none of my knives are cataloged at present, I need to work on that. Thanks Robert. How do you do yours?

  Uh, I need to do mine to. I know, I'd better do it though, because the girls won't remember, what to ask for them.

  I thought, I'd tag them with a number and letter. Example; 1A or 2C.etc. Then I would enter the tag info into a book, with info about the knife, along with an approximate value. The info would tell about the brand, the age and material used in making the knife.

  If you have any ideas I'd like to hear them, to. 

I started an Excell sheet, but I probably have not finished it or updated it in the last year or so. I made one for each brand that I have.

Brand, model, handle materials, steel type, year bought, year made, price paid, estimated value

I just want my wife (or my kids) to make sure that they know what they've got once I'm gone. Now I'm no old geezer....but just in case I make sure all this is available. My wife knows about that as well.

As for knives for the kids....by the time they're old enough I'd rather pick something cool for them WITH them instead of chosing for them.

When my son is old enough (in a year or so) I'll probably pick a nice knife with him that he can use when we go into the woods and such. When he's older we'll pick out a nice high quality EDC.

I know that I am going to leave mine with my sons and grandkids, I just have not really thought about.
