Mr Morgan, We are of very similar age. I also do the "hording" thing with some things. It may be a product of the times we were raised in to an extent. Plus, I don't know about you, but I was always taught "there won't be any more after that" when i was given something from my dad. so, I learned to take very good care of my "stuff" everything from motorcycles to my boots to my fishing/hunting gear and of course tools. So, to this very day I like to keep 'backups" to most things that are important to me, tools, hunting and fishing gear, etc. then once i have completely wore out an Item i use often. Because I use these thigs often it then becomes uncomfortable not to have them. So I keep my backups ensuring i won't have to " do without" the things I value and need to continue to keep my quality of life.

[@timhogg7814]

Love knives. My Dad as well, he always told me that I was not dressed unless I have a handkerchief in the back pocket with a comb, a watch on my arm and a pocket knife. The Benchmade is new to me, they look great! I lost a pocket flip while on vacation in Florida this past week. It was not an expensive knife, but broke my heart to loose it. It held its edge well and had a loud green handle. Just was a natural to have on me. Anyway, you stirred me up talking about the knives. Thanks for the memories of Dad's love for knives.

[@ronwest7797]

Hi Mike, I am glad to see you appreciate a good knife. I currently have 9 Benchmade, 5 or 6 Case knives, and a couple Old Timers. I have given each of my boys (4) and my oldest granddaughter's husband a Benchmade and plan to give each of my grandsons (7) one. I'll take a good knife over a stick of bologna any day.

[@lorallamb2673]

Mike help us teach people that pocketknives are tools not weapons!! Great video

[@Trumptrain2024Vance]

Very true! Knife is a tool! My Glock is just a reminder that criminals don't follow any gun laws! Gun laws are for law abiding citizens! Let's go Brandon

That is an amazing tool cabinet! It is 70' down at the beach this morning!

[@bobbletheshot5735]

Thats a great work bench. I've had the same one for for 4 years now.

[@balddawg4378]

I collect pocketknives and have well over 100 in displays and original boxes that have never been used. My wife began to complain until I showed her the value of some of them. If you are ever in the Atlanta area in early June, the Blade Show is a must see. Unreal how many knife enthusiasts there are. No need to explain why you hold on to them!

[@ron-rj2fv]

In the early 1980’s, I was doing some sales calls in Butler County, PA. I noticed a lot of woodland with no trees over 40 years old, and no farm buildings, nor much machinery, less than 40 years old. One day I stopped in a feed store and got talking to the owner, who was the in his 70’s. He said the he and his brothers, at one time, had five grain elevators in Butler County. I asked what happened. He said that, after WWII, when farmer went heavily into tractors and wider machinery, “We could still grow more wheat per acre in Butler County than they could in Kansas, but they could grow more wheat per hour in Kansas.” The price of wheat fell and it was no longer profitable to grow wheat in PA. My understanding is that there is 1/3 less farmland tilled in PA than there was 100 years ago.

[@mariusj8542]

As long as I can remember, my father always carried a knife, and I have cursed a few times for not carrying one. A knife is super handy.

[@rexwoodall2179]

Benchmade are great knives. Expensive promotional gifts, but nice. I never use some of my knives so I understand. My Bugout is my go to EDC. That is a nice cabinet especially the hardwood top. I love to see you splitting the firewood, very therapeutic.

[@mikemcguire8351]

I'm sure there was a time, but I can't remember a time that I never had a knife in my pocket and a piece of soap stone. Y'all have a nice weekend.

[@brianhildom9372]

Morning Morgan's from south western NY. We had a little ice storm here a few days ago and Buffalo area got hit pretty hard. I'm jealous of your working conditions really muddy here in the woods. I just got a Homestead grapple for my tractor and itching to use it! Have a great day everyone 😀

[@garysvinyldungeon2764]

I have a knife problem, I have well over a 100 fixed and folders, most have never been used. Some are custom knives costing between 200 to 300 dollars

[@bobhover3863]

Display case for the knives in the new building?

[@millcrafters]

New cabinet is great. The gray front compliments the floor, and the maple top compliments the wall. It looks to me like it was custom made just for you. Love it.

I was going to buy one of these but wife wanted the HD racks and shelving so no room for a rolling bench.

A Benchmade knife is hard to beat. I have a few myself.

[@davidjackman5773]

Those cabinets are great. We have about $40 gazillion worth of all shapes and sizes, in the garage, on the covered deck and in the equipment shed. One of my buddies on an old BBQ cookoff team had one and kept all his spices, knives and towels in it. Worked really well. They seem to be quality built. I have my cut off saw on a small one and roll it around in the garage.

[@davidhaskins9457]

Nice knife collection Mike, awesome work bench, you're a wood splitting machine, can't wait to see finished woods food plot and orchard you got the magic touch, love you guys

Great buy Melissa, that's an awesome Pantry/work bench, you did a great job!! Great job to you too Mike for the continued work with the Split Force Log Splitter and the clearing for the Orchard and farm land.

[@johnklenzak1001]

IRS guidelines for gifts. Cash items are taxable and must be tracked and recorded for taxing purposes. Example: I worked for IBM. Anything that had a cash value, IBM had to tax you for its cash value or they had to pay a fine. Win a Cross Pen and Pencil, IBM would have to pay you the value of the taxes so you could claim it on your taxes. Get a check from one of your clients, you had to claim its cash value on your Tax forms or face a fine if the IRS found out. IBM would also get fined if they didn't force you to claim the funds. Win a $2,500.00 cash value trip for two, IBM would have to add taxes to the 2,500 for another $250.00 to cover the taxes. So, IBM made it a rule that you could not accept anything over a cash value of $25.00 or you could loose your job..

[@dondwyer3679]

You have such a great technique when you use the excavator to pick up things, especially limbs and trees. Enjoy your videos.

[@davidmerkel1874]

Got so many knives, now grandkids, the pile is shrinking, still praying for the family, have a day

[@CFD4c72]

I looked up those Bench Made knives and it looks like they run into the $200.00 price range today. Must be real good knives. Can never have enough folding knives to keep in various places around the shop, truck, etc. so that you always have one available.

Your building looks great. Nice cabinet. We enjoy watching your channel.

[@benhancock1408]

My favorite knives are some that my Dad made back when he was in high school. The blades are ground from old worn out files. Once you get a nice edge on them they'll hold that edge for a l o n g time. Plus they have sentimental value.

[@craigaustin4362]

I never usually comment but when you spoke about your knife I do the exact same thing and I thought I was the only one I can’t explain it either

[@charlesperry1051]

I have the same cabinet. I bought mine from Sams Club also. I had to put mine together. I have it on my back porch. It holds all of my outdoor cooking gear for my grill, Big Green Egg, and Blackstone. I have had it for 4 years and love it. It is so convenient to have everything at hand without having to run in and out of the house.

[@LostInThe0zone]

That's funny as soon as the word lockable came out of your mouth, I thought about the soda. Then you said exactly that.

[@bulletsandbacon4440]

My go to knife is a Buck knife from Dearing Compressors. Excellent EDC and not a dime in it.

Good Saturday Morning. Went down to about 0 degrees overnight here in NH. I use a little less wood in two days in my stove. Burning wood is nice and well worth the work. I never buy wood, just harvest from my property.

[@shadetreeforge]

Hello Mike and Melissa! I have a bunch of knives as well and only use 1 or 2 as well, I don't know it's just after sorting through and using a few you kind of get what I call the "feel" where you just grab and go with a certain one I guess. Same go's for my tools there are some that are the "good" tools, and then there are the ones like your buddies old shoes that are all beat to heck and are the every day tools I use, BTW you & Melissa are doing an excellent job!😀

[@Trumptrain2024Vance]

LoL I do the same thing with my knives, Expensive, boots, and guns! I guess we like collecting! My last binge was old signs! Before that old train lanterns! Then swiss automatic watches! Then a car and truck kick! Not sure why the impulse to buy??????? We are around the same age Mike maybe it has to do with our childhood! I had a great one! God bless

[@robertlefroy7347]

I'm enjoying your videos, FYI Case knives are made in the USA in Bradford PA. they are excellent quality and you can also tour the factory and see the process. Lots of history in the museum as well. Well worth the visit if you are ever in that area.

Here in Colorado...we use hoodies year-round. With several places you can drive paved roads to 14,000 feet not to mention the many 4x4 high mountain passes so... fathers day hoodie dosen't sound strange at all. Secondly, don't feel bad about hoarding knives. Someday thee limited run "brande " knives may be worth something.

I have always carried a 4 inch 3 blade pocket knife which wife often volunteers. went to a Seahawks football game and asked at entrance if had any guns or knives. I said yes. Can't take it in.

[@tommc49]

I had to chuckle at you knife collection. I do some small custom woodwork projects for friends and neighbors. One of them is from Scotland. He also worked in oil and gas and traveled the world. He brought me a box that must have around 60 quality knifes and asked if could build a display case for him. I found some designs online that will work. Now I'm waiting for him to give me his max dimensions.

[@shootermcmillan]

Question...Do you include the Hunt-Man in your firewood work? I know he is non verbal but he seems capable. Perhaps not around the saw as you have mentioned that he does'nt care for loud noises. Physical work is good for the soul...and leaves less time for stalking unattended sodas.

Another great video, as usual, Mike and Melissa. Nice find on the workbench. Worth every dollar! Mike, I haven’t met a knife I didn’t like! I have more than 200 knives ranging from little minis to various size Buck knives, and a few machetes thrown in for good measure. They run from cheap money to more expensive than I should be spending but I love each one. I have a lot that haven’t even opened - but enjoy using the majority at one time or another each week. I love the blue mobile splitter but I haven’t watched it one time without thinking I would have to paint it orange! 😂 All the best to you and the family!

[@davidmartin303]

I have a collection of Leatherman Multi-Tools. Really don't know why, but I do. Several of them are "Retired" models that Leatherman no longer makes and no longer supports...meaning if you break it, they won't/can't fix it. I daily carry the Leatherman Wave Plus when I'm not at work, I carry the Leatherman Curl at work, cheaper, and if I lose it, it ain't as much of a loss LOL....these dang multi-tools are expensive anymore...I remember when the original Leatherman was less than $40....they no longer make it, and the next closest to the Original Leatherman would be the Bond and its $60.

[@robbiebaker2412]

I'm the same way with knives. I probably have 15-20 brand new knives of different brands and sizes in a drawer. They are still in the boxes and have never been used. I carry 2 knives every day: a SOG Escape and a field master swiss army knife. I use and like the field master so much I immediately ordered a new one when I lost my old one instead of just going to the drawer and picking out a new knife I already had. These knives do everything I need them to do, so "if it ain't broke don't fix it" I guess. I will continue carrying these 2 knives every day until/unless my needs change.

[@WeSRT4]

Well it's not like you're going to outgrow a knife. As long as your needs are covered save them to replace your knives that are in rotation when needed.
