Thanks stede. I have been collecting now for about 35 years. I also taught myself to repair them. So I have all the tools that go with the repairs and a couple of watch benches also. It has been a fun hobby.

I also taught myself to repair them. I've seen the insides of these watches; I bow to you, sir!

Bill DeShivs · 02-10-2011, 02:04 AM

Automatic, lockblade, and folding Bowie knives; watches; guns.
Stede- I can also refinish watch cases, if you need.

MSGT-R · 11-21-2011, 04:28 PM

Hibbens are fun..
Then there is all my USMC stuff.
And my martial arts stuff..

Nice tango! I love my gerber.

cpttango30 · 11-22-2011, 05:24 AM

My gerbers are OK. My two favorites are the SOG Aegis and the Kershaw Leek. I love Ken Onion Knives.

My SOG is a beast but doesn't weigh so much that it pulls your pants down. Don't tell the liberals but, I carry the leek or the SOG every day in a high school. I am amazed they haven't jumped out of my pocket and stabbed a bunch of teenagers yet.

Next on the docket is some Tanto blades. If you can't tell I prefer a drop point blade.

Petergunn · 11-22-2011, 08:37 AM

MOP pen knives (gentlemen's Sunday knives) from New England circa 1800's.

dustydog · 11-22-2011, 02:14 PM

Dustbunnies and anything from the Pacific rim,especially Moro and Sea Dyak knives.

Mosin_Nagant_Fan · 11-24-2011, 08:24 PM

I tend to collect exotic and/or foreign design.

okie headhunter · 12-01-2011, 01:28 AM

On stainless knives use a diamond hone. Couple of swipes and the edge is back. Use the knife 2,3 times they are dull. Won't hold edge.

raven818 · 12-01-2011, 04:31 PM

Katanas, Wakizashis, Tantos, swords, edged stuff. I have several hundred Dragons. Made from every conceivable material. Years and years and years.

American Leader · 12-01-2011, 04:47 PM

Case & Remington mostly of all types. Also like tactical variations.

Little Rooster · 12-01-2011, 06:25 PM

Bits and Spurs
Guns
Knifes
Watches

all seem to go hand in hand

I have given up on Horses
Motorcycles
Guitars and
Wifes

(I'll keep the one I have now)

Most of these have been given to me over the years, I like cases and some of the german folding knifes

whymememe · 12-04-2011, 11:29 AM

Case xxx trapper

whymememe · 12-04-2011, 11:32 AM

Rooster, you got a nice collection there. You just need a case.

whymememe · 12-04-2011, 11:42 AM

Rooster, when you look for a wife, don't go on beauty, she will beat you every time, look for loyalty. I lost my best one 4 years ago. I don't plan on a replacement, I'm going the rest of the way solo.

You mean a display case?

I have Case knifes also.

I don't plan on financing anymore brides in my lifetime...this one is nearly paid for

Clint KY · 01-10-2012, 04:20 PM

I got this knife in the early 70s in a trade. It is a Gerber Magnum Hunter.

Pardon the camera strap in the photo

I use it often and it still holds an edge well and the handle is made of a metal composite material that is easy to hold even when covered in crappie innards.

Plinked · 01-12-2012, 07:15 AM

okie
The bottm two kukri's in your photo look like they have the British military "Broad Arrow" ( aka Crowsfoot ) stamp on them.

I'm kinda like the Ken Onion knives also, and have two of his knives.

I started "collecting" back in the late 1990s - knives, daggers, short swords, etc. All from various countries. Found them all at gun auctions, general auctions or at gun shows. Didn't realize how many I had and how beautiful some were, until I move a couple years back and got them all together for picture portraits. Here's a couple pics of the more spectacular items:
