Demonic69 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 A close friend of the family passed away over a year ago. His son has recently sold the house and asked us if there was anything we'd like to take before it all went to the new owner. Having spent some time chatting about DIY and the making of things, plus hours showing off his tools, I thought he'd appreciate some of his beloved tools going to a loving new home. There was far more than I could ever fit in my garage and it's a massive shame that some of his old carpentry and joinery tools may end up getting skipped by the new owners. Along with a vise, grinder, hammers and other tools I found this little box of pocket knives. He's served in the RAF and travelled the world, so some of them could be from far flung locales, who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Nice things. I have a similar collection passed down (and added to along the way), the earliest being my great grandfathers 21st birthday present, including my grandfather's 21st birthday present, and several of my fathers, plus some modern ones I have added when I have been feeling flush (including the bizarre Wenger Giant).

A friend some years ago had a shop who sold Wenger/Victorinox, so I got it at a favourable price ......... but it remains completely impractical and just a bizarre collectable.
