Does anyone here collect pocket knives ? I have a collection of knives, most being made by Ontario Knife Company in Franklinville, N.Y. I really have no use for them. In the collection are a few reasonably rare knives that I know are valuable. Anyone in the greater Buffalo area interested in looking at and possibly purchasing the collection ? Pics can be posted if necessary, but I believe an in-person inspection of the collection is a better idea.

I per se collect knives and might be interested in a few of them. With the current state of things I’m not looking to put out tons of cash. Not sure if you’re looking to part it out or not and pictures always help.

I love knives, I love all types of weapons. Since I was very young I have had a love for weapons. But, I am not a collector, I just buy them every so often. I have them all over the place, in all of my jackets and coats, bags, etc..
Post up some pics and if youre willing tobship perhaps some will sell. I dont usually spend too much on knives as I beat them up. For a working folder I typically wont spend more than 30, but if its a better knife i might spend 50.

I use to have a bunch of pocket/folding knives. I have boiled it all down to a few.
1) Kershaw Blur, my favorite knife
2) Kershaw Roughneck ( deer skinner )
3) Kershaw (supercheap) $9 flip knife I got from wal-mart. I use that mostly for working on eletrical stuff amd work related stuff
4) Milwaukee fastback 48-22-1505, box cutter ( my second favorite) flips open or closed with a flip of the wrist
5) Winchester 5" heavy blade sheath knife
6) Buck Silkirk w/fire starter
I keep ALL my knives razor sharp. even my wifes kitchen knives are stupid sharpe. The first time she used one of my knives, I warned her, but she still managed to cut an 1/8" off her thumb.
shes been more careful after that, LOL
I despise "little" folders, like a Leek, they are far to small to be effcetive for anything, except maybe opening envelops

What do you use to sharpen them?

I’ve been collecting pocket knives for years—mostly Benchmade, Spyderco, and some old Case folders. I’d definitely be interested in checking out what you’ve got, especially if there are any models no longer in production. If you end up listing them somewhere or putting them in a folding knife clearance, let us know. I’m just outside Rochester, so not too far.

damn, sorry I missed your post.
Anyway, now I use a Chef's Choice electric knife sharpener. I used a Lansky for years, but that thing took forever to get a decent edge.
Im thinking of getting a Work Sharp knife sharpener next?

I bought the electric Work Sharp. I don’t like it. I ruined 1 knife. Then I bought the WS that works like the Lansky. Works the same. So I bought stones. I haven’t spent a lot of time with them yet. I’m having trouble keeping the angle.
I don’t need to shave with my knives. I just need a quick simple way to keep a knife sharp. Do you have a link to the Chef model you bought?

I have the Work Sharp knife sharpener and like GTN, I don't like it. It is very easy to ruin a knife, I made the mistake of sharpening a knife too close to the tip of the blade and the WS grabbed it and put so many grinding gouges on it. I let my father borrow it once and he told me he thought about returning it to me in a garbage can.

My grandfather created a jig to hold a knife at certain angles while using a stone, I can imagine that there are some companies out that have something similar now. Just a thought.
