Hello,

many people think that slingshots is my sole field. But I have been collecting folding knifes for many years now and would like to present some of my pieces to you.

Should you have questions regarding one or more of the knifes, or want more detailled pics, I am happy to assist.

Regards

Thanks for posting your collection.

Nice collection. What's the one @ the bottom of the fifth picture?

[JoergS]

That is a Frost Cutlery knife, actually it has two blades that you can open/close independently. When both blades are open, you effectively have a dagger with two sharp edges.

I believe it is no longer in production. Inexpensive knife, mediocre quality, but interesting concept.

Where'd you pick up the Franklin and did you get it from Mike or a perv?

[franconialocal]

Nice to see another Spyderco fan on the forum. As far as the other knives.....BLASPHEMY!!! *lol*:)

I have the same Boker Top Lock, had it for years. I no longer carry it, but it's a fine blade...

what's the one at the bottom of the last picture? And I don't think you have enough knives!:neener:

I love you work with slingshots. Now that I know you're a Knife guy too. Nice collection of knives.

[Buddy Rabbit]

Bottom knife, 1st (and 2nd) pic, please ? . . . .

[JoergS]

The bottom ones (1st and 2nd pic) are a Spyderco Gentleman's knife (GREAT!) and a CRKT one (can't recall the name right now, and gotta go).

I can't remember buying a knife from a gentleman called "Mike", and certainly not from anyone beeing an apparent perv (but you never know...).

I bought most of my collector's knifes (the hand made ones) from a knife store in Cologne, and some from stores around the world (my job does involve a bit of travelling).

Jörg,

Mike Franklin is a knife maker out of the US that uses that hog with an underbite logo.

"perv" is short for purveyor, a seller of custom knife maker knives.;)

[JoergS]

Ah, I see. The weird rules of the English language, quite a challenge for a German. Why isn't "Purveyeor" abbreviated to "Purv"?

The little Franklin knife was bought in Cologne, I love the colorful metalworks.

Wasn't very expensive, so I guess it is not hand made.

Jörg, I believe it is less to do with the rules of English and more to do with something called double entendre (French: double meaning or "double intent").

If I were trying to derive how "perv" is short for "custom knife purveyor," I might come up with something like this:

A "sexy" display of knives and/or guns is often jokingly referred to as "porn" (e.g. gun porn, knife porn). The custom knives, being of the "sexier" variety, it's not a particularly long stretch from "purveyor of (sexy) knives" to "purveyor of (knife) porn" to simply "perv."

Please understand that a) I have no standing in the knife community, so this is entirely conjecture, and b) it is entirely a product of my imagination.

Who knows? Maybe hso can confirm -- or give a better etymology.
