I think this has a lot of potential to be a great and interesting thread.
For me, as high level as possible ...
It started with Fiddlebacks only, centered around 3" sized blades. Mostly browns and greens with a mix of wood, burlap and canvas.
Somewhere in there I discovered W.A. Surls and Osprey Knife & Tool and bog oak / blackwood so add in bog oak from each of FF, WAS, OK&T.
Then I needed more funds to buy more so most of the initial round / learning curve batch was sold or traded.
Recently:
- Started adding in a few other colors (Brisket burlap, a blue and a red to give them a try)
- Every time I see some, wishing I had gone for tangerine burlap lol
- Been picking up duplicates to the bog oak collection but in CPM154 with G10 or black micarta to save the bog oak and A2 from summer sweat
Since the following include fairly contrasting colors to my collection and they should arrive the end of this week, I'll try post pics this weekend.
WAS Cherry Bomb RMN, WAS black G10, FF blue Sweet Gum, OKT black canvas
UPDATE ...
Ok, are you sitting down? A BLUE and a RED arrived last Friday. Nope, not a bog oak or a black G-10 or black micarta but two that actually have real colors to them. But, they're planned to be gifts also.
Here is the full monty but a few of them are to be gifts and I'm contemplating future sales if the market improves. This is too many for me in reality and I believe in using knives and not just for collecting them or dust.
Here is what I would fondly think of as my user / keeper collection. The bog oak models are used but I've gotten some duplicates of them in CPM154 / non-wood for abusive summer sweaty use. Bog oaks / A2s are reserved for cooler weather .. anything below 85 degrees.
