The Devon Buy Collection of Knives and Bladed Instruments

Knives make great collectable items, and with the array of styles for fixed-blade and folding knives, there are the various blade steel types, handle materials, method of deployment, lock mechanisms and sheath.

Cressi-sub RC550000 Super Totem
I lost my 20-year-old Cressi-sub RC550000 Super Totem whilst out at sea in 2013.

It is with these in mind that I buy and collect knives – by manufacturer, steel type, lock and element materials.

I have been collecting knives for about 30 years now, mainly modern works and production. Although my parents had always objected to the idea of me carrying knives, my first knife was actually given to me by dad – a multi-tool – at the tender age of 10; and mother bought me a hunting knife a year or two after that.

I have not seen these knives for some 25 years now, but these were the knives that spurred the interest, and ultimately resulted in this collection. Some noteworthy knives from the collection such as the Cressi-sub RC550000 Super Totem (above), and a Gerber military dagger which I had purchased in Munich in the summer of ’98, have been lost or misplaced.

Nevertheless, the collection continues to grow, and especially so in the last few years. I lost the Cressi-sub fairly recently, and due to this incident, I felt it is best that the collection be photographed and recorded. Today’s article will be a showcase of what is left of my collection.

2. Folding Knives

Folding knives form the bulk of my knife collection, and I buy these mainly because they are utilitarian and portable at the same time. Some of the better ones are also works of art in the way they were designed and constructed. They present the most varied of options, and are interesting to accumulate. Most of these have served as an Every Day Carry (EDC) knife for me at some point in time. I collect these by the manufacturer, construction (steel type and handle material), and lock mechanism type.

3. Butterfly Knives

balisong collection
Remaining 5 of the 6 balisong butterfly knives in the collection.

These are mainly butterfly knives popularly known as the balisong, an ancient art which originated in the Philippines around 800 AD. I had about 6 of these knives, one of which have been misplaced over a span of 20 years, leaving the remaining five below in my collection. I spent a few years learning this art during my teenage years, and remember practising a particular difficult airborne flip with these knives on one afternoon, resulting in sixteen cuts and stab wounds on the palm of my right hand all within an hour. Oh, what fun is art if effort is not spent in attaining its perfection…
