Knives are among the world’s most collectible of collectibles, and the niches that fascinate collectors are seemingly endless – antique Bowies, Egyptian daggers, Damascus fighters, Strider tacticals, San Francisco gentlemen’s, Khukuri Ghurkas and full-fantasy (think “Lord of the Rings”), just to touch the tip of the iceberg.
Michael Silvey knows a lot about knives. His vast collection includes 400 military folding knives made between 1810 and the mid-1940s.
