Complete Collection Pics

It's a quick iPhone pic and my meager collection is embarassingly dwarfed by those in this thread, but this is the whole southpaw stable as of this morning, every last one of them a user:

Oh, and the story behind the handful of those Morse Code Sebenzas is so cool... Anyone have original letters?

Very cool.

I converted the MS Publisher file to Acrobat for those who don't have Pub... I do hope that is ok - DUCky, please let me know if it is acceptable. If it is not I will remove the file. Click.

This thread is great! so many beautiful collections.

I figure this could be a great place for a question I have.


I owned a zan with e old pivot and I sold it :/ and I miss it so much. But should I go for a zan with new pivot, a 25, or a zan in tanto? I really love the tanto crk does but I feel like the 25 is currently the pinnacle of folding knives
 
It really depends on personal preference and what it will be used for. In my opinion the 25 is the best all around edc knife ever made, and the Zaan is a more of a tactical knife. Don't get me wrong the zaan is a great edc, but personally I like to carry my 25 for everyday use, and my zaan takes the back seat lately. The 25 combines the best of the 21, and the zaan. It has a more ergonomic grip, and a flatter ground blade that is great for slicing. Tough decision, you really can't go wrong with any of them. Just get em all!!! Good luck.

I love my 3 zaans. If you can find an old pivot I prefer the look of that. Otherwise, the new pivot works just as well. Wilson combat has the new pivot zaans in stock last I looked!

I do want a 25 as well though. Heard so many good things about them!

This thread is EXCELLENT! Thank you all for posting such great pics of your collections, it has really helped me pass the time while at the Hospital watching over the new addition to our family; she's 5 days old and we had to bring her back to be monitored for a small complication- hoping to be home tomorrow.
On a lighter note,
I lost count of how many knives I wanted to ask if I could buy from your collections by the end of the first page, some real beauties you all have. It was also nice to see my old Large Unique Graphic Regular with Spirograph Damascus again in one of Dino's pics- should've never sold that knife but I'm happy to see that it finally ended up in a good home.

Ill post pics of my small collection when we get home.
Thank you all for setting my mind at ease for a few moments!
 
Good luck with the little one abominable. I've been there before myself. God bless.

Thank you, truly.
We're very excited to finally have a little girl for the boys to pester and for us to spoil; now if we could only get her home from the Hospital all will be right with our little world.

Not nearly as nice an assortment as some here but I enjoy them all.

First some Unique Graphic Sebenzas.

Thank you for enjoying them with me. :)

WTS my Unique Graphic Sebenzas so I can consider more Mnandis.
 
Fantastic. Glad this thread is not on the wane, so to speak. Because I know there are lots more guys and gals out there with unbelievable collections! And, DH ....... still in awe over those Honduran Rosewood Mnandis!!!!
 
Thank you very much Dennis.
That third Mnandi at the bottom of the photo just arrived yesterday. It is quite different from the other two. Although it does not have the interesting grain patterns to the extent of the others, those dark areas of the wood are rock hard and smooth as polished granite. Totally different in feel and appearance and very unique in its own way. Although not quite as "flashy" as the others it has a character all its own. :)
 
Unique regulars (posted previously but the only family pictures I have at the moment):
