I will Have this tomorrow, a Ontario RAT 3

And a new larger one, my beloved Hoodlum,

And one of my daily carries, S&M F&W tested Congress slipjoint.

And a Damascus Stockman I love.

Thats a real beauty there.

451 Detonics · July 8, 2011, 10:11 AM

I like both the Congress and Stockman patterns and have a number of both in my collection, these Bulldogs are a couple favorites. The stag on the Stockman is tremendous...

Sniper X · July 8, 2011, 10:32 AM

Thanks, When I bought it, I bought two. That was almost ten years ago now and the other is still in it's box never opened except for inspection, in my safe.

Yo Mama · July 8, 2011, 04:21 PM

Sniper X, just an amazing stockman you have there.

Let's keep it coming!

TexasDaniel · July 9, 2011, 05:42 PM

A couple of mine, nothing too special. Excuse the crappy phone picture.

**hso** · July 10, 2011, 06:51 PM

Some autos (sorry for the lousy phone picture).

Yo Mama · July 10, 2011, 07:33 PM

Holy Jeez! HSO, that's a few. Care to say which you like more than the others?

**hso** · July 10, 2011, 07:42 PM

That's why it isn't exactly "fair" for me to participate in these things. That's one drawer out of several. I've backed down on my collecting but increased the average "cost" of what I collect these days so you won't see many production knives more recent than 6 years back.

What I like falls into different categories. Some are vintage autos and I like them differently than the modern versions. Some are art and some are users and I like them differently. Some are made by friends and I like them differently than the ones that aren't.

I like the small MTs and the small GT. They'll fit in a watch pocket, feel good in the hand and SNAP.

I like the Vallottons because they're very well made double action autos and they're friends.

I like the antique fishtail because it is an old Schrade.

Yo Mama · July 10, 2011, 08:02 PM

I may be unaware, but do you have a post or pictures of the whole collection? I'm thinking it would be epic...

...fair or not.

**hso** · July 10, 2011, 08:05 PM

It might take some time to get it all, but here are 2 other drawers in the cabinet.

Fixed

Folders

Valkman · July 10, 2011, 09:10 PM

LOL that puts most of us to shame - I know I only have a fraction of that collection!

**hso** · July 10, 2011, 09:14 PM

Don,

That's less than a third of the whole collection. "Collection" is a mistake. Affliction would be more accurate.

Valkman · July 10, 2011, 09:40 PM

That is an awesome collection! I should have more but I only kept 2 knives from when I made them and I never did buy many. I did trade for 6-8 nice customs but that's about it.

Vonderek · July 10, 2011, 10:11 PM

Another opportunity to post a couple of my faves:

REAPER4206969 · July 11, 2011, 02:21 AM

My go to knife.

9-ball · July 11, 2011, 11:19 AM

I'm actually surprised this one didn't come up yet:

Glock FeldMesser 78
Once a birthday present, now it only gets further then 10m away from me if I have to go to public places.

**Sam1911** · July 11, 2011, 11:41 AM

I'll post my favorite:

That's a Valkman fighter I finished, put handles on, and made the sheath for.

Aside from carrying it hiking, I really haven't "used" it for anything, though.

Sniper X · July 11, 2011, 11:45 AM

Everything I have in the sheath...

BRad704 · July 11, 2011, 12:22 PM

GREAT job Sam!!!

Thanks -- The inspiration for the one I'm currently working on. But his blade was in CPM154, and mine is in lowly 1095.

BRad704 · July 11, 2011, 01:17 PM

there's nothing lowly about 1095... I'm liking it more than my beloved 5160 these days... lol...

Deltaboy · July 11, 2011, 02:18 PM

Great Collections!!!

KingContraryMan · July 11, 2011, 03:50 PM

Just got this one over the weekend. My wife found it at her work (a major hotel), put it in lost and found where it remained for 8 months, no one claimed it. She brought it home to me.

fatalhubris · July 12, 2011, 04:40 AM

some of my collection.
