They are Swell Center Jacks. Very large knives. I like them a lot. The bottoms are flat and they stand on end.

Thanks Gary . I like a lot of variety in my collection . Different styles different makers from different countries . I have knives from over 20 countries . and I have at least one from each of the big modern companies to . Variety is the spice of Life:D . I am now on the lookout for a traditional knife from Australia :)

Obviously lacking in the clip department
 
Well, not full collection but applicants so far this year! There may be additions before January.....:D:thumbup:

You got some real nice ones the WP! That Osage orange lever lock sure has a nice patina going. You have a gnarly stag #83 like me, looking good. The Lick Creek and Orchard Gem stand out in any crowd!
 
Many thanks Mr Coolio. :thumbup:The 83 gets out a lot as the stag is TOO NICE NOT TO USE :D and the Osage liner-lock offers a great and very safe work-knife for cutting tricky stuff like thick plastics that can shut a slipjoint on you very suddenly:eek:

It's my opinion that the 38 Whittler is the best 3 blade knife currently available: great thin slicer and decent secondary blades that don't stick in your hand when using the master blade.

Not got all my British Army Clasp Knives on this pic, as it was taken a while ago, but it has most of them.

 
Awesome pics Jack...what a nice collection of both stunning and historical knives! :thumbup::thumbup:
 
My collection of traditional knives is starting to grow. I am having a great time with these knives and this forum.

VERY impressive, Gus! :cool::cool: In some other thread, I remarked about how many marvelous TCs you must have, and here they are! :thumbup:;) Do you pick up whatever you can find, or is there a "theme" to guide your acquisitions?

Wow, Will!! :eek::thumbup::thumbup: As Frank Sinatra once sang, it was a very good year!! Kind of the Year of the 38 for you, in some sense, although as Brad notes, you have quite a variety of fantastic knives you've picked up so far this year! :cool::cool: (I'm probably at least as impressed with your stag 83 as you are! :D:D)

That's a strong recommendation that concurs with the opinion of Mr. Chips!!

Congrats on the impressive "sub-collections" you've put together, Jack!! :thumbup::thumbup: I need to expand my horizons by tracking down some of those British Army Clasp knife threads and learning about something totally foreign (no pun intended) to me! :p

VERY cool, Randy; those chestnut bone Cases you picked up are a fantastic addition to what was already a superb bunch of traditional folders!! :thumbup::thumbup: Who is the maker of the Barlow on the lower left in your photo? That looks very classic to me. :cool::) Actually, that entire left column of a baker's dozen plus one Barlows looks incredible to me!!! :eek:

Wow Jack!!!
Nice - in fact flippin' nice line up of TC's - but OMG what a line up of Clasp knives!!

Wonderful shots of all everybody's hard work here - fantastic viewing!!!
 
I cannot do this. If i got all my knives out i would need to put them outside and then put a step ladder on the roof to take the picture. It might even require a helicopter to get high enough. Afterwards it would take days to put them all away.
I am not bragging, just being honest. It is embarrassing actually.

Finally worked out a way to display my modest collection of knives that leaves them accessible for use. My collection may be small but each knife has a memory attached to it; of childhood, friends, relatives, adventures, discoveries, places and characters. What other area of collecting could give you more. Seen some fantastic collections here, thanks to all for showing them. Inspirational stuff! :thumbup:

Thanks! I started off trying to get every blade type (profile and nail-nick vs. Long-pull) in both single and double configs, with each of those pairs matching one another. I still need an ebony LP clip in single and a red-jigged clip with nail-nick to complete that. But I've since gotten the bug to find as many soupbones and spears I can find at a reasonable price.
 
KJ I know you have many of my Sheffield and German made and even some of my early American, but I don't think you have any of my NYK. Thanks for the many buys over the years.
