No matter the size of your traditional collection, big or small, lets see them all!:thumbup:
 
Some of my knives are out at the moment but I'd love to see some people's extensive collections~
 
yup, still waiting on 6 gecs, 1 queen slim to arrive before i do a slipjoint family picture
 
I think we've done this before, but here they are anyway.

All Robeson, All the time, unless they are Terrier Cutlery company, made by Robeson.









































 
Ok, mine are not displayed all pretty like, but rather piled on top of each other in cabinets. Please don't laugh at the $5 top piece, my boy thought that was way too nice to hide. ;) Here's one of them. The other cab are all boxed, so not as interesting.

My collection is puny compared to most of you guys (looking at you, CNoyes). I used to have a more sizeable collection of about two dozen pocket knives but I started selling them off gradually once I found two knives that fit pretty much all of my needs, an Opinel no. 6 in olivewood and a GEC #92 Eureka Jack. I've carried just those two for the last year or so but since registering on the forums I haven't been able to resist. I've picked up two more knives since joining, and here's the full collection after receiving a pretty little Case this afternoon:

I think it's a pretty good start, and with all of the temptation on these forums it's sure to continue expanding.
 
Mr. Noyes
If we did it before I missed it! Thanks so much for posting your incredible collection! I see a few grails in there:D ( to say the least )
 
Charlie, truely an impressive, impressive collection. I scanned the whole group then looked hard at your MOP group cause I didn't see a gunstock whittler lobster (aka Orange Blossom), but on the second look I found one under the light reflection. Very special collection indeed. How do you display it at home?

Charlie - we have talked a few times in the past behind the scenes, and to be honest - its FAR too long since, but my friend, I am absolutely FLOORED by your wonderful extensive and HIGH -END Collection - now there is many many years of hard toil right there-and for you to show us this is just fantastic - Wow....I just love those Robeson Clippers as well - as well as the Cut Throat Razors as well - the knives just goe without saying- Whew!!
Thank You Charlie - what a wonderful collection, that is so inspiring!
 
This is a great thread. Just wanted to say that. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us all. :thumbup:
 
Thanks everyone. Happy to share.

They are not displayed here at home. Safely locked away elsewhere.

That particular set of clippers are quite small and for cutting the hair of children.

I do have an adult sized set, still in the box, but did not own them at the time those photos were taken.

Actually, those photos are old. I forget where I took those. Might have been Louisville, Kentucky or Marrietta or Dalton, Georgia.

I have bought and posted a few beautiful old knives in the Old Knives Forum and I have some more recent display setup photos that are not uploaded to PhotoBucket.

I have begun to sell some of these. I've parted with six thus far. Just sort of chipping away at it.

BeFlying; Very nice. I do not collect tacticals, but I've been known to carry one. Currently, it's a Fairburn / Applegate folder by Gerber.

And, I think I see some of one of my favorite patterns on the top shelf, back right.

Carboniferous, I like those two cocobolo handled jacks, especially the gunstock. Was not aware Queen had put that one out. I'd like one of those for an EDC.

Thank you both for posting those.
 
Here are some additional photos taken at a fairly recent show in Dalton, Georgia.

Most of the display is about the same as in the photos I posted earlier.

There were some refinements, some additions and a better photo of that tall tower display case which I use as the centerpiece.

Included is a group photo of The Irving S. Robeson Fire Brigade of Perry, New York.

Irving took over, with his brother Robert, following the death of Millard F. Robeson in 1903.















 
About a fourth of my collection. If I took a pic of all of them at one time, they would be little specks.

A few of these have since been gifted to forum members.

Wow some outstanding collections.

Love those old Case knives Primble, reminds me of my Poppa.

Charlie - what shows in Dalton? I assume the Eastman Gun Shows. Going to have to keep an eye out then because that's not too far from me.
