Sorry for your loss.
My experience is that getting rid of something your parents cherished can be a tough thing to do.
Looking at the collection as you share pics tells me that your Dad was quite proud of his knives.
The prolonged project of parting with them surely keeps bringing up fond memories.
Good luck
