So yeah, I finally got a good camera so I took some photos of my knife collection ( minus a couple of beaters and kitchen knives).
These are my usual EDCs ( minus my trapper ): A Kershaw Needs Work, Benchmade Kulgera and ESEE Izula. I like the scales more than the paracord, but I don't like how the scales leave the tang exposed so I wrapped the end.
These are my fixed blades. The other two are just United Cutlery junk, but they were gifts/cheap. I put some nice edges on them. My 119 has obviously seen some abuse.
These are my traditionals. All but the Trapper have great sentimental value; the barlow-esque one was one my dad bought shortly before he died; the silver handled one is a liberty bell bicentennial that belonged to my grandfather, and the Old Timer is something my grandfather-by-law gave me years ago. The Uncle Henry has gone back and forth between my father, myself and my grandfather for years and is probably my favorite slipjoint. I ground the clip blade to be full convex on one side and damn-near chisel ground on the other. The Old Timer is a Dog Leg jack, but you probably wouldn't be able to tell from the massive recurve in the clip blade now; no idea how my grandfather pulled that off, but I managed to do it to the sheepsfoot on my Uncle Henry too.
This is my sharpening and maintenance equipment and the case I keep my folders in: I have a 30x loupe, Medium Arkanas stone, Smith's Coarse/Fine diamond hand sharpener, Benchmade Blue Lube and Cleanser, Razor Edge Systems Edge Tester, jar of liquid Chromium Oxide, Norton 220/1000 water stone, Norton flattening stone, Grobet USA #4 swiss file set
Anyway, my collection is pretty modest, but since I haven't had a good camera I haven't showed it off yet. What do you guys think?
