A knife collector’s collection cannot be complete without the classic Chris’s knife. This buttery smooth blade and comfortable finish are classic Chris designs. The craftsmanship is exquisite, and the snapping action is second to none. While Chris no longer makes his knives, the company continues to make them. The newer models are still fine, but the original design is so good that every knife collector needs one. Here are ten knives that every true knife collector should have.
The Case Trapper is a must-have for any knife collector. This knife is the most popular and has a remarkably durable blade. It is based on the jack-knife design and has been made for over 100 years. Its solid design and easy-to-use blade make it an excellent everyday blade. Kershaw’s Leek is one of their latest models, with a 3-inch blade made of Sandvik 14C28N steel.
The Opinel #7 is an iconic camping knife made of alpine wood. It was invented for working men and is considered a must-have knife for any collector. The Mora is another must-have for any collector. This model is a descendent of the ancient Scandinavian knife. Known as the first pocket knife, it is one of the most popular knives in the world. It was first used in World War 2 and is a must-have for any outdoorsman.
