Hey guys ! What’s my collection missing ??

[K.O.D.]

Higher end folders. How about
something Russian --Cheburkov, Shirogorov, Biryukov,etc.

Or maybe Olamic, Hinderer, Arno Bernard?

A fixed blade from one of the makers here that support this place.
A folder from CRK, Hinderer, Olamic, Spartan, Medford, or any one that peaks your interest.

Nice collection so far! It could use some Wharncliffe, sheepsfoot, and tanto blades; maybe some more titanium. You might want to explore K.O.D. 's recommendation for a Cheburkov. My largest folder is a Cheburkov Frieze, pictured below with a ricotta pie. Breathtaking Steel is the best place to get them.

Also, it's worth occasionally checking what our makers here have on the exchange. You can find some cool and unique stuff that way. For instance, this was my most recent find:

You know your collection is complete when your significant other asks, “Did you buy another knife?”

You know your collection is complete when your significant other asks, “Did you buy another knife?”

Dangerous rule of thumb. Mine asked when I got my second knife (“why do you need more than one pocket knife?”)

I didn't see a Light Saber...


Seriously: that's a real nice start to a lifelong addiction!

You could use a real nice "Gentleman's EDC..."

Nice collection - I really like that chopper!

You seem to be missing a machete, an axe, a tomahawk and a fighter.

A real nice Mnandi indeed, but around here, a judge might say that a locking blade indicates a weapon which would require a permit to carry in your pocket.

How about some suggestions for an elegant, non-locking "Gentleman's EDC" way under $500? Bonus points for a handle that provides a reliable, non-slippery grip without finger grooves (grooves are another indicator of a weapon according to some Florida judiciary).

The maker is pretty unknown, but this would fit your collection very nicely. I don't know how to insert the photo, so here is a link.

Live link to non-supporting vendor removed.

That would pretty much kill the rest of the knife budget for this week!

Nice collection but everyone needs a Sebenza

Sure, nobody knows about Michael Walker, who invented the liner lock.

There is a Michael Walker knife at Arizona Custom Knives for the bargain price of $1,800.

FYI, I believe Micahel Walker is considered the father of the modern folder. On the same site one of his knives, a very early one, is for sale for like $140,000.

Since we not supposed to post a link, instead look for "Sharks Tooth Zipper Blade" using your favorite search engine.
