Man i dont think Ive ever taken any pics of my collection of blades.. Ill go snap one real quick..
BTW nice collection of folders KA. I only have 1 folder as my preference is fixed blades, but that said. my folder is my daily carry and it is very well used.
Here they are.. I aint got a huge collection but every one has a specific purpose they they are all used for that purpose..
The Gerber paraframe.. My daily carry and used extensively. I have had that knife for almost 5 years and I have nearly sharpened an eighth inch off the blade. I oughtta get at least another 5 from that 25 dollar knife..
The Remington skinners. I bought those on clearance last sept. I really like the handle-less design makes the messy job of gutting skinning and 1/4ing a deer or hog easy to clean up..
The Buck Skinner, one of my favs.. Holds a great edge and has a very comfy rubber handle. I use that one more than I use the set of rem skinners.
The KABAR, Its the 5 incher.. Only meat ive ever cut with that one has been an inch and a half thick porterhouse cooked medium rare. I bought that beauty purely because I have always wanted one.. It took me half a damn day to put a fine edge on that excessively hard piece of steel, but I love it and wouldnt hesitate to use it for anything..
and finally, my big ol Kukri. I bought that one off the SARCO web page about a year ago. Give 20 bucks for it. Its hammer foprged out of a truck leaf spring, has a full length rat tail tang, and chops the hell outta anything youd use a machete for. I actually use it in the boat alot to cut carp up for bait. Gotta keep the blade clean and oiled tho. It will rust.
all of my bklades have scary sharp edges. And that KABAR is perhaps the best of the bunch. and it damn well better be. took me prolly 4 hours to get it on there. That is some hard ass steel.
well I had to show mine as well.The stockman in top middle is a case with wooly mammoth ivory from Siberia.The rest are Boker,Hen and Rooster,colt,s&w and others.The one with the swastika is a WWII german parartrooper knife.the ones in the blister packs have never been opened.I love the stockmans in bone and have mainly stag but a few others in ram and water buffalo.The kentucky long rifle trapper is a display knife and not an avg pocket knife unless you Andr the giant.And that bugger is extrewmely sharp.Kinda like a pocket sword.

I simply do not have enough space to show them all. From the old to the new. The swords to the ones I made. To the handles, the ones I gave as gifts. To just My kitchen knives alone. Where ever you look in my house there is a blade. Walk in the front door there is a Roman sword.
There are the ones that are downstairs in tubs. I have collected edges since I got my first one. The old non descript pocket folder. It is a disease which has manifested itself into making handles....then blades.
Now I collect older guns.....They all take up less room than collecting antique furniture, cars, etc.....I would have to go through what I have stored just to remember what all I have.....I am not anal enough to catalog them either.
Here's my hunting knife, it was a gift from a friend that makes knives. The others are ones that my sons inherited from their grandfather.
