I was hoping you guys would tell me if you see any gaps that I need to fill. I have done a ton of buying, selling, and trading over the years and these are the blades that fit me best for one reason or another. If you tell me I'm missing something I would definitely give it a thought, as you guys have a lot more knowledge then I do in the outdoors. I'm still learning, that's for sure.

Here are my main two large choppers in the 10-11 inch range. A Busse Basic 11 and a Seigle JEST Bolo


Here is my two 5" blades, LT Wright Forest Trail and a NWA Sierra Scout


Here are the three 4" blades that stuck around. Shaerk Burning Bush, ML Kephart, and Woodlore clone out of the U.K. by Garland.


And last, smaller neck knives, but they are piggybacked on other blades. Survive necker and Izula II.


I do have a couple Moras that live in my packs, and I have a few random knives here and there. Just curious if something stands out to you.

Might as well throw in a quick one of the folders. Two Striders, some Emersons, and a few Spyderco's.


Thanks everyone, let me know what stands out. I kinda want something in the eight inch range, like a Busse Basic 8 or maybe a Fehrman First strike or Last Chance. I forgot the 8" models name.
 
latin-style machetes...if you want something high-end then fiddleback forge makes some nice micarta handles with imacasa blades. i'm not sure if he still has this offer but if you buy all 4 sizes (18", 16", 14" and 12") it's only ~$300 otherwise it's ~$100 each.

SAK Outrider is a very capable knife. I still really like mine after many years and strongly feel it is one of the most useful real world knives on the market.

Not a style I'd vote for but while the Scandi-type object is still in fashion what about a folding one of those. Spyderco Nilakka in S30V, Enzo 75 in D2, or these in N695, or 12C27 or K720 Carbon if that's your penchant spring to mind:

Opinel.

Those are always good. Could also get some kind of a Leatherman, gotta love those pliers. As for regular knives, how about the Canadian Belt Knife or a Roach Belly style knife? Cold Steel has some budget variants, but I'm sure you can find some nicer ones.
 
I think your covered, lots of knives you could get but IMO. None you need. Then again it's not about need now is it.
So get a SAK, Leatherman surge, that sexy blade shotgun posted and one of the fiddleback's.:D
