Let's see your good old basic fixed blades, Bowie's, Stickers, etc.

Here's my Randall 12-8 Bear Bowie. Very pointy knife that I've never thought was very useful, but have been using it a bit lately and proving me wrong.

machine26, that is the knife that walks through my dreams with me. I absolutely love those grinds.
 
I dunno if this one counts or not, but it's a smaller Anza skinner fashioned from a file. It's got laminate handles which are a bit contemporary IMO. I enjoy the construction and size though, and want to do a review when I put it through its paces. The price is very reasonable on these knives, and they have a certain earthy, rough, style. Blade should be W-2.

Wow, I can't compete with some of these collections. Just stunning stuff.

My Grandfather's (unknown, unmarked) 6" Bowie. Purchased in the 50s, we believe.
A beater Schrade H-15. A user. My woods knife.
Case 316-5 modified to a drop point. My kitchen knife.

Oh man, I love that little Case 316-5! I reall like how you modified it into a drop point. I have an older Kinfolks version, the 333, and it is a very handy little knife. My favorite B&T knife. I'll try to dig some pics up of it.

I'll start with my fav Bark River Gunny:



I have nothin' but good things to say about this knife; perfect size for light carry but stout enough to baton thru wood without a whimper. The A2 steel holds an incredible edge, but the knife is also available in higer end steels like CPM 3V and S35VN stainless.
 
I'll merge this one with the existing. Thanks for the link, Christian.
 

Hafted by myself from stabilized tiger maple grown right here in the Pacific NW. Sheath made for a Schrade but fits perfect.
 
this is a western W49, after I read Bill Bagwell's thoughts on modifications, and spent some time grinding, filing, replacing handle with osage. feels pretty good
