Donate Old Knives / Sharp Edged Objects

Olly · Post by **Olly** » Sat May 31, 2008 7:08 pm

Guys, as you would know by now, I have had a childhood passion to collect knives and any other sharp edged objects like arrows, blades, axes etc. Lately, I have realised that I could possibly enter the Limca Book of Records with over a hundred such objects already with me....

I appeal to anyone who has such objects and does not want them - old or new... infact, older the better... to donate them to me to add to my collection. The objects will never be sold and there will be no involvement of money. The donors name will be etched on the object and kept with due reverence. It can also be taken back at any time, if required.

Please take this appeal in right earnest ! Thanks

hi olly

i like the idea,

so why not send all ur sharp objects and i will etch ur name and hang them on my wall,
as the wall is a bit empty at the moment.

and if u, when ever u wanted it back , you can get lost

and i am taking this appeal with lots of right earnest expect ion that u should get few more for ur limca drink record.

all the best in ur passion man. nice hobby.

I've always dreamt of collecting Guns but have been put off by the prohibitive costs of owning even one.. Now why did'nt I think of this!!

"Please donate all/any firearms" for my private collection!

Interested in traditional bows that shoot blunt objects Olly??

I like the idea very very much! Donate all blued metal objects here...

the ones that can discharge projectiles I will keep the others will be packed away nicely after etching the donors name onto them - don't want to ruin the projectile shooters by doing that

Jonah,

Then why do you need more for the record?

Mind you, the private collections from erstwhile royal collections would be in the hundreds, if not thousands. So the Limca Record, if you should apply for one, would be a bit of a joke.

Don't mean to rain on your parade but I personally had well over three hundred knives until they were stolen in transit from Bombay to Bangalore.

Keep collecting but do not engrave names on the knives because it would devalue some very good knives. A pictorial record of who has given you what should suffice.

hi olly

sometime back i think on tv or maybe in an article i read/saw not sure which, a man having a very good collection of knives, he had lots of them, so i am not sure if that was u or could u beat his collection?

regards

Well, I ain't collecting for any record or stuff... its just my passion due to which I have been collecting since I was 5 years old... ! On the way if any record falls into my lap, I don't mind it either... Its just a great personal feeling to have different types of sharp objects... many (including my own family members) don't understand it though...

You also had 300 knives ! Wonder if you had a passion too or was it to break some record ?? Its a great source of inspiration to me anyways...

Nagarifle,
My profile has come out in Times of India, Outlook, BTW and NDTV. You cud've seen me there...

I have always liked knives but public recognition of the fact isn't important to me.

i would have loved to donate sire,
but donating the knife would mean no food

Sorry
Cheers

Mack The Knife,
Public recognition isn't important for me either... but somehow it stops by to say hello with a pat on the back, once a while..... which is encouraging....

Nagarifle,
Tribal section ??

That's greek for me...
