I go to a 3rd weekend of the month trade day at a nearby State Park.
My passion in knife collecting is Damascus Steel. I don’t care if it’s the latest tech or the best surgical steel/bronze/copper/ titanium. What I collect is the aesthetic of the knife. If it’s a knife I would carry, I usually will go ahead and get a custom sheath with a pocket that I can add a Ferro Rod, Whetstone, Tiny Compass, and some Paracord.
That flashlight looks like a type I have. Bought an inexpensive 4 pack and have them strewn about the house. Have others of course but in a pinch even a cheapy can work.
I like to take old rusty knives and refurbish them to be useful again. Both were rusty and missing parts of the handles, I used epoxy and sawdust to repair the wood. The top one I found at a garage sale and the bottom one I found sticking in an old fence post in the woods
These are called “garden knives” and have a rounded tip for digging and chopping but I like pointy things so…
