I was recollecting some guns and knives that have passed through my hands over the years and it got me wondering about other folks thoughts about using 'em or keeping 'em pristine.
I've gone through too many firearms to count, but I've had a couple of my dream guns and some that were just flat out cool. In truth I don't dare ever do the math because the bottom line would be dismal. I've had some mint guns and always wound up selling or trading them because I couldn't bring myself to shoot them. It just didn't feel right, even if it is my gun. So while I love beautiful or unique firearms I only have shooters.
Knives, I've done the same but not nearly as many or as much.
As an example, right now I have a new Benchmade Mark Lee commemorative knife I bought on this board and I've decided to use it. Otherwise I was going to sell it. There's no package or paperwork, just the knife and sheath so it's not really something for a collector.
I'm thinking of making a belt sheath for it and carrying it when I want a larger knife at hand. It seems to me that a knife commemorating a SEAL should be used not ogled.
So Ladies and Gentlemen as well as any Binary Space Beings have you any thoughts to share?
