Knives on the cheap.

Post by Taffy Evans » Sat May 11, 2013 6:22 am

The recent exacto knife post prompted me to post this. Sometimes I got two new knives out of the same old knife blade. Some are for dedicated work and others are just bench knifes, others are shop bought and modified, all were low cost.

Nice collection Taffy, very inspiring. Any surgeon would become green with envy seeing this! 8) :shock:

Nice Taff,
I didn't start out to collect user made and modified tools but I have a box full. Most of those knives would fit right in.
It's a cheap hobby because I'm the only guy that wants tools like that. To me they are the good, goods.
