Thank you all for the kind words.  I cannot believe it has been three years either.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

Yes, it really has been three years. I can’t believe it either. Can I ask you to show us five (or better of course ten) knives from Karl's collection in your opinion.  I'm sure everyone will be pleased to see them again here on the forum.  Thanks in advance.

I know you have generous to show some in the years since.  I am always thankful you do.  If you decide you'd show any it would be so awesome.

Thanks again for posting these FB - And also a photo very worthy of CS - With wood replacing the sandstone!    :)

The formatting of the Kantonmesser page was a bit screwed up and a bit of a mess - So I have fixed it  :tu:    :D
Been meaning to do it for ages - So this was a good trigger!

So now the page itself is way, way better ....... (I hope)    :think:    :tu:
However, the way it fits into the overall Wiki page structure seems to have been altered - eg the standard menu on the left hand side has disappeared, and the one on the right has moved to the bottom of the screen (like they do on a smart phone) - Which I have never seen before!!    :o
We'll check that out!

FB, thanks for sharing the Kanton knives, I've always considered them the pinnacle of 91mm knives.  The laser etching on each of them is nothing short of spectacular.  Looks like these are all from the earlier years of production, simply stunning!  :tu:

Four years ago to this day, September 10th, 2019, my mom and I left the home of Karl (ColoSwiss) with his collection bound for California to be combined with mine.
Colorado in September was beautiful.  We were thankful the snowfall hadn't arrived.

Still, till this day, I have kept the collections separate.
I have added the yearly Alox offerings to keep Karl's collection current as he had collected those.

Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

Glad it went to a good home and to someone who kept his memory alive.
