Knives collection

Knives collection
I CAN'T RESIST KNIVES WHEN I SEE A DIFFERENT ONE, THIS IS A LITTLE PART OF MY COLLECTION. EACH HAS A STORY AND I ALWAYS CHOOSE WHICH TO USE, WHICH TO HAVE IN MY POCKET FOR EACH PURPOSE.

I ALSO COLLECT STONES, SINCE CHILDHOOD AND EVERYWHERE I GO... I HAVE TO BRING ONE. SO I AM NOT GOING TO PRESENT THEM ALL BECAUSE IT WOULD BE AN ENDLESS STORY, BUT JUST SOME.

THESE ARE IN MY BATHROOM (THE ENLIGHTMENT IS SUN ENTERING THE WINDOW). THERE ARE SOME SHELLS TOO. THE GREEN VERTICAL STONES ON THE BACK ARE 3 OF MY OLDEST, I WAS BACKPACKING IN GREECE AND GREEK ISLANDS OVER 40 YEARS AGO AND BROUGHT THEM, THEY MADE MY BACKPACK A LOT HEAVIER BUT I WAS YOUNG, SO IT DIDN'T REALLY MATTER...

Stones and shells in my bathroom

THESE ARE LEFT PLATE FROM ZION NAT PARK, THE NARROWS, RIGHT PLATE FROM ICELAND

Stones, Canada and Iceland L1000875

AND THOSE FROM PORTUGAL, IN MY STAIRCASE

Stones, Arrábida

I ALSO COLLECT TOOLS, BUT THAT WOULD BE BORING TO SHOW!!!!!

My goodness, Isabel, that's an impressive set of knives. I wouldn't carry any of these in a pocket unless they folded up. There are some interesting handles too. I can see ivory, wood and possibly bone and horn too. I like all the PiPs and the second one is my favourite.

OMY, what a lot of collections you have, Isabel !! My favor goes to the stones one !!! My mother was collecting decorated eggs from all part of the world. The problem of collecting is that you need space !!!!!!!! Have a good day, Isabel and stay safe and healthy !

Some of your knives look like weapons! A perfect presentation on dark background. I love your stones, I also collect them fromn childhood. Sadly my mother threw away my stone collection when I moved out to study. I came back a short time later to fetch the stones and she had already got rid of them all, I was furious...

that is a very interesting collection of knives and I like your stones too. We do have very different stone types in our cottage, just beautiful to look at. But our southern provence of which Helsinki is a part is closed from the rest of Finland because of the corona, so I cannot see them at the moment.

Those are wonderful knives. I saw a knife in Tibet with a bone handle and an engraved blade. It had been well used based upon the condition of the blade. Even though I don't collect knives and I dreaded bringing it through customs, I could not resist it. I look at it and wonder about its history.
4 years ago.
Xata club has replied to Esther club
Knives can be fascinating, I have others I did not show, specially a very ancient ritual one... who knows what might have been the use, but nothing very pleasant indeed...
About yours you can try on the web to track origin, use...

Fascinating knife collection. I bet you know what each type is made for - their use. I'm impressed you remember where your stone collections are from (or do you have a sneaky label on the bottom of some of them?).

Your displays are beautiful. I would get frustrated dusting them all. You must have great patience. I wonder where you got those short rimmed plates for some of the stones - they are perfect.

You failed to mention your friend the Gecko (I assume) lizard! Are they a one off?

Loving seeing everyone's hobbies - makes for a closer community in my eyes.
4 years ago.
Xata club has replied to raingirl club
Indeed I know, Laura, and I dont have to dust them as they are usually on different places, hanging on a inos magnet bar on the kitchen, in drawers, in pots, in my pocket...
About the stones I have nothing written on them, I just remember... but confess sometimes I have a doubt for some.
The plates are old german dishware, a design collection about 40 years old now...
About geckos I have many, for real because they are common here and some artistical ones also.
You are right, this kind of challenges help us knowing and understanding others and I hope improve tolerance.

Gefährliche Hobbies hast Du, Xata !
... wenn ein Einbrecher kommt, kannst Du ihn mit einem Deiner Messer abschrecken - und mit einem Stein in der Hand in Schach halten.
Das Foto mit den Messern ist sehr attraktiv - ich könnte es mir gut als Plakat vorstellen.
