HereComesTheReignAgain Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 After selling my house and throwing out a ton of crap that I hadn't used in years, I'm not much for collecting stuff that doesn't serve a frequent purpose. I have a handful of quality knives and would love to graduate to collector status someday. Right now my "collection" consists of a few Benchmade folders, Zero Tolerance folders, ESEE fixed, and a Zakuri Blue Super carbon steel kitchen knife. It is amazing how much difference a quality knife makes. Every time I see someone use a crappy dull knife I cringe.
Chef Jim Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Not much seeing most things are worthless dust collectors. However I have collected over the years rare 1st edition books. My prize possession is H.P. Lovecraft's The Outsider and Others. It's a collection of his short stories. My wife bought it for me for $350 20 or so years ago. It's worth $1500 or more today.

One is a Nakamura Megumi and my everyday carry is a Mini-Barrage. I freaking love it.
Captain Caveman Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 I wish I collected nudy magz. But my wife doesnt allow it.
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) I have two Benchmade knives, and I'll never own another brand. One is a Nakamura Megumi and my everyday carry is a Mini-Barrage. I freaking love it. The Megumi is a great design. I have the Benchmade Mini Ruckus in S30V which is just about perfect. I have to say that the Zero Tolerance knives I have are pretty close though. Elmax steel is pretty impressive. Edited May 13, 2015 by chknwing334
JinVA Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 This is a great topic and hits home with me. I collect Cool whip containers. have been for years. Whenever my wife buys Cool whip I keep the container for the label and recipes. The older ones were good plastic and the newer ones are sort of flimsey. It's fun seeing how the container changes each year or so. I have a spare bedroom in our house filled with my collection of cool whip containers. Some days I walk in and just sit and watch them for hours. I was going to ask an appraiser to value the collection but I don't think he'd be honest. I'll probably leave the collection to my kids in my Will. Howard For real? Or am I slow tonight?
Howard Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Jinva I was turned on to Cool whip container collecting by my neighbor 40+ years ago She was a nice old lady and told me to watch how they will change in texture and demand over time. She was right because they are really all different. Around the holidays my wife buys the Chrismas ones and we have one of the biggest collections in the east. Channel 7 did a piece on us years ago. Anyways thanks. Howard

Anyways thanks. Howard how awesome is that? did you save the channel 7 audio to an Edison cylinder? it Shirley must have been riveting. How much is the insurance rider on a collection like that? Is cool whip actually considered a food product? Just wondering.

The Howard hijacking of threads to pull off a fake old man unfunny bit is getting really old.
Chef Jim Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 The Howard hijacking of threads to pull off a fake old man unfunny bit is getting really old. I see what you did there.
Ted William's frozen head Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Just wondering if you collect anything? I have a few collections: The first is a collection of every Buffalo team pennant - it hangs in my rec room. Among the rarest are the Buffalo Breskis' professional women's softball team, the Buffalo Norsemen professional hockey team and the Buffalo Royals team tennis pennant. I also have a full collection of the 1973 Looney Tunes drinking glasses that were sold as a promotional item at the old Carrol's Restaurants (now Burger King). How about you, what do you collect? breskis.jpglooneytunes.jpg .44 cal., and 9mm firearms
stevestojan Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 For me, it's watches. Somewhat of an addiction, but I only have 6 of them, but I love each one. Smartwatches are one thing that make me want to kick baby seals. Such an insult to call them watches.

Smartwatches are one thing that make me want to kick baby seals. Such an insult to call them watches. I work very hard to NOT collect watches. I have a timepiece fetish. Smart watches...every one I've seen does two things: shows you texts, and counts the steps you walk. I don't text or exercise...and even if I did, what's the !@#$ing point?
