Let's see your knives

I've noticed that many members here collect knives.
I've always admired a nice, well made knife and I used to get knife collector catalogs but so far I only have one tactical one hand lock-blade and I carry my trusty Victorinox Swiss Army knife daily. I keep a Leatherman in my truck and in the tool pouch on my motorcycle.
Lets see your collector pieces and what you carry daily and hear the merits of each.

I don't have a pic but I keep my Spyderco Viele II in my pocket at all times along with my trusty Surefire Kroma flashlight (although too big for my pocket, it stays near me in the storage bin in the car, on my nightstand while in bed, etc.)

2007 was the year of the knife for me. I acquired two Randalls -- a 14 and an 18, a Chris Reeve Sebenza, Chris Reeve Mnandi, several multi-tools (for the trucks and motorcycle), a SOG Twitch and a few Spydercos. I gave the SOG and Spydercos as gifts to my brother and a few clients, and I still have one. These were added to my already formidable collection of various Swiss Army knives, dive knives and various tool knives.

But I haven't gotten around to taking many photos. Sorry!

OK! Syderco Native; Microtech LCC that I'm selling; Chris Reeve's Sebenza; Spyderco Manix; Benchmade Blackwood; Stider GB. Had to sell the GB. Too many "quirks" that plain upset me.

Only own one tool pocket knife, a Leatherman Supertool that I've had for 15+ years. Fixed everything from computers to cars with this puppy!

Have a nice set of Global forged chefs knives, though they are so sharp they scare me a bit; I've cut myself with them and never felt it.

Not into knives at all, but carry this one daily. It's gotten me out of a few sticky situations.

Have some excellent butcher knifes all razor sharp, can shave with them a dull one will cut you faster than a sharp one

The small black 1 with the shield on the handle is a Hitler youth knife worth the most I would guess

Here's a couple of knives I own

the first one is a William Henry Amber-Jigged Bone handle spearpoint


the second one is a custom Tom Mayo TNT. It is butter smooth too!

I have a few more beaters, Benchmade AFCK, Spyderco Endura, and a Kershaw Junkyard Dog. I rotate the beaters for every day carry.

Couldn't find a couple of them but this is my modest collection. Mostly beaters as they say here.

I have seen LOTS of references to knives in individual posts.
I thought it might be interesting to combine all of those references into ONE single common thread.
However, if you don't care to participate in this thread you don't need to.
Maybe a post about chainsaws or pencil sharpeners would be less redundant. I own both.

Here are some relevant ideas:
Boxers or briefs?
New coke or Pepsi?
Tastes great or less filling?

Just having a bit of fun.

Here's a few of my favorites:

Spyderco Danish Penknife + Rolex Datejust SS/WG (+ Sony Ericsson W880i):


Leatherman Charge + Omega Seamaster (+ Peak LED light):


Spyderco Danish Penknife + Rolex GMT 16700:


Homemade knife (did not make the SS blade myself) + Casio G Shock:


Spyderco Cricket SS + Rolex Datejust SS/WG:


I would love to take a picture of my favorite Swiss Army Knife + my 5513, but the Rolex is in for service at the moment. Perhaps I will remember to add it later.

A gentleman in Kansas was kind enough to make this at my request. It is 3.25 inches closed and is carried daily in my slacks to the office where it functions to open letters, some small boxes etc.This is Todd's pic.[IMG][/IMG]

I have always loved Buck knives. The first decent knife I ever owned was a Buck folding knife that my brother bought me for Christmas when I was about 13-14 years old.

I probably haven't bought a knife in 10+ years but from looking at some of the pics here I need to get out there and take another look.

Jens (JJS) is a very good knifemaker and close friend. I just received a nice paring knife he made for my wife as a Christmas gift.
To tell you what kind of guy he is, Jens sent me a Rolex wallet a couple of weeks ago...just because he thought I needed one
Yep, he likes Rolex watches

Here's my newest.
Sog Twitch II



I've always been a fan of sensibly small single blade lock-backs. This one is nice and flat too so it carries well in my pants pocket.
