Cool stuff Steve.  

 

I have a folding Buck knife I bought around 1985. Not long after I got it I tried using the tip for something I shouldn't have. 

Used it with 1/4" broken off the point for years and years. 

Got to remembering one day that Buck had a forever warranty. 

I sent it via snail mail and completely forgot about it for a few months. 

One day a got a package back from Buck. 

 

Turns out I had a very rare piece that the handle was made of a compound like Bakelite or whatever. More rare, mine's brown. Didn't sell many. 

They were so taken aback by the sheer existence of the knife they modified a blade from another model to fit. 

Sent it back good as new and then some. 

One of the folks in the repair/customer service department had been there since before my knife was sold and had never seen one.  

 

That was actual good ole fashioned customer service.

My dad passed in ‘19 and left me a whole box of pocket knives but nothing compared to your collection. But hey, that’s not a knife collection, you have a knife collection. Nice!

My brother passed away about a year ago and one of my cousins was thrilled to receive his collection of pocket knives. My brother had been a Boy Scout leader and woodsman for decades and about twenty of the knives were BSA  Jamboree commemorative knives. My cousin that got them was a member of his troop so I figured they went to the right place.

I only have a few rather insignificant pockets knives. This one however I inherited from my good friend Ed DeVoe’s father who was a master shipwrights. It is a Camilus  Sailors  sheeps foot rope knife. It is the only pocket knife that I use and I am quite fond of it. He was a sailor in WW2 and seems that it was a standard issue item from the Navy. Took it to Europe with him and came back with him also.

I picked up a Buck folding hunter at a garage sale for $1 in pristine condition.  My kid used it for some goofy purpose and broke off the blade tip.  A buddy who was a real knife geek offered to send it back to the factory for me if I covered the postage.  Great!  A few weeks later it was returned with a new blade and polished up like new.  It looked fantastic.  So I ordered a sheath for it.

Great company.

RE: OP, I do have the Uncle Henry Fillet knife .The rest are over the top, but I could have shone that 20+ years ago!

I used to be a collector. Regrettably, I sold the collection when things got tough. I really wish I still had it. So many classic knives and bayonets!
