What do you collect?

Chako · **Reply #121 on:** November 26, 2019, 01:16:54 AM

Here is what I collect...mostly.

A very old photo...but good for illustrating multi-tools.

I also collect Swiss Army Knives.

Come to think of it, I tend to like most things that are sharp. Here is part of my sword collection.

I also collect Canada First Day Covers...basically a stamp collection with first day of issue ink stamp and special envelope.

I also collect watches.

I also collect both air and gunpowder arms.

Also tend to collect walking staves and canes.

I also collect machetes, non folding hunting knives, and those idiotic Rambo style survival knives.

I collect utility knives as well.

Got a thing for cameras and photography.

So that is what I could come up with off the top of my head. Oh forgot about RC tanks...but I think I have enough collections posted in this thread.

You guys have awesome collections!

mikekoz · **Reply #123 on:** December 03, 2019, 02:16:40 PM

I collect\horde multitools, pocket knives, and flashlights.

When I was younger I collected stamps, scanning radios and shortwave receivers, and sports board games. Some of the sports board games I had when I sold them on Ebay years ago, to my surprise, sold for $100.00 to $200.00+ dollars!

I also have a collection of precision screw driver and tool sets.

Clutch pencil will drop the lead completely out of the pencil when you depress the button.
A Mechanical pencil will only advance the lead a little bit at each depression of the button.

BadMechanic · **Reply #129 on:** February 07, 2020, 01:23:35 AM

So far I only collect:

Firearms
Leathermans
SAK's (mainly Classic SDs)

I used to collet, but now I simply hoard

Used to collect Mt's and SAKs - notably Wenger Rangers

But now I'm back into photography. I sold virtually all my canon system a few years ago as I was suckered into the mirrorless movement (Rolls eyes) came to my senses, sold it and reverted back to canon dslr's
Currently have several bodies, 25 canon lenses, plus 7 canon flashguns. Intending to buy more canon lenses this year. I wont touch any other brand now It's either canon or nothing
I used to feel I had to justify owning things, but now I buy what the hell I want. Life's too short.

As a child I collected keyrings, not many as my parents deemed them unnecessary.
I hoarded tools to a ridiculous point that I couldn't work because there was too much stuff. Have sold 70-80% intend to whittle that down to a very very basic set up.

I love the idea of minimalism as long as I can keep my photo gear and my Wengers

Ukuleles. Mostly older mass produced ukuleles from the 20s and 30s to the early 60s. I have a few Harmonys that are players, the best sounding one from the 20s, solid mahogany with a wood fret board. A couple of plastic ukes from the 50s that are cool, not much to play but look great on the wall. My all time favorite is a T&K Ceniza long neck tenor made up the road from me in Waianae. All koa, sweet sounding and great action. Made in the late 80s. This is the one I take out when we play with older musicians. All of my day-to-day ukes are nothing special, just good, solid instruments. My wife has already told me that if I buy one, I have to get rid of one.

Okay, here you go. The plastic ukes are from the 1950s and pretty much wall art. The Harmony ukes are both decent players, one from the 1920s or 1930s and the stenciled uke from the 1950s. The Ceniza long necked tenor is my favorite of all my ukes. Made from Hawaiian koa wood and beautifully crafted in the 1980s. This is my play in public ukulele.

Those look great! I love how they sound, too!

You do know you have to thanks us portuguese for it, right?

Aloha · **Reply #140 on:** April 08, 2020, 05:25:16 PM

. Whats interesting is when you ask a Hawaiian what their heritage is they almost always include Portuguese among many other.

aerojet · **Reply #141 on:** April 12, 2020, 05:09:22 PM

SAK's. Victorinox, Wenger, mainly the over 5 layer type.

Vic -

Champion
Swiss Champ
Swiss Champ XL
Swiss Champ XLT
Swiss Champ XAVT

Wenger -

Champ
Whistle
Tool Box Plus
S54
1908 - birth year issued.

I try to get as many different things like can openers, watch for that in the future!

Variations in the individual models, like the different orientation tool blade thickness

So - no small units here. Just the big ones.

EDC - Tool Box Plus, in belt pouch, for many ages.

Also have a nice collection of hobo's working on. .Too bad there are not Swiss hobos to collect!

Oh, yeah, I know. I’m out on the lanai right now with one of my everyday ukes. Oh, and I’m part Portagee, too. My dad’s side.

And, Aloha, much shakas from from west side O’ahu.

Be safe, everyone.
