I shared a post last week on Instagram regarding the use of the Birch Polypore fungus to make a strop for honing knives; given the great feedback an interest I received there seemed to be an interest in the knives I’ve used over the years. So I thought I share a quick run down of my current collection, their virtues and short comings, and my general opinion of them.

Here we go with the knives I still have, not an exhaustive list of every knife I’ve ever owned but these are the ones that I kept….

Well, there you go! What was supposed to be a quick photo burst of my knives has ended up taking my 6 hours to write…. all for the love of it though! I hope you enjoyed reading the article, and hopefully it may give you some insight into the choices available.

All the best
