Who here has collected other T/C issued items other than firearms and the accessories that are associated with them ?
I bring this topic up for discussion because I have collected a few such items and as the topic description indicates it is a knife.
T/C issued a knife every year for several years.I bought three over the years but sold or traded two of those.I did however keep the one that I liked the most and here it is.
Who else may have collected the T/C issued knives?

I have an early T/C Contender belt buckle somewhere. Will have to dig it out and get a picture or two of it. Never used it as a buckle, kept in a drawer. Thanks for reminding me of it.

Not the knives, but I did get the Gold Belt Buckle, a contender gold tie-clasp, half-dozen Angry cat hat-pins, Banner, counter mat. Brother has about a dozen contender display cases, banners, mats, patches, almost every version of every Catalog, Belt buckles made from sliced frames, Presentation cases (all the models),cartridge "wheels",etc.. I do have a box full of Fox-Ridge catalogs, and a good set of T/C catalogs. A binder full of the early contender magazine ads, schematic and owner manuals.
I never got a knife just because someone put their name on it, or called it a limited edition "collector" knife. It had to be useful in the field or home, and I never saw T/C's as being such. But then, I never even took the belt-buckle out of it's packaging either, but it looked great. Same with the tie clasp and hat-pins, I don't wear ties, and all that kind of stuff sits in my jewelry box. Patches sit in a box, once in a while one gets sewed on my skeet shooting vest. Most of the "paper stuff" is for reference sources.

Wish I hadn't sold them here, but....
I had a fair collection of TC Catalogs (85-2000 or so)
Fox Ridge Catalogs (starting with either #1 or 2, and then 6 or 7 more),
some dealer price sheets,
A Contender Lucite paper weight
Contender Belt buckle
TC Pins
Silver 25th Anniversary Pin
Patches
Contender Counter Mat
......
yeah, I had it bad. Sold most of it here several years ago. So, of course I wish I had it all back.
The TC knives were sold through Fox Ridge by the way.
Under the I wish I had category are the Lucite Cartridge Wheels.
