Lets see your woods blades collections for 2011

[LMT66]

As much as most of us try to whittle down our blades to a select few, we seem to end up buying/trying more.
Lets see what your sitting on as we go into 2011.

That thin one on the bottom right corner looks like a great edc. Who is the maker?

 

[bladz]

Thinned mine down over the last year to just my users/keepers.
I am eyeing a couple more though, and have 1 I'm waiting for to
be finished.

 

[LMT66]

Always interesting to see how collections change each year.

 

[deepfry]

Do you want to see just customs or production knives too?
I think just about all of my fixed blade knives could be considered 'woods' knives.

 

[hollowdweller]

This one goes out with me the most of any

This is my #2 Pick that goes a lot too

This is my #3 pick and being D2 it goes when its wet a lot

These have not gone out with me much but I plan to take them this year.

This is an old favorite that used to be carried every trip. I think it's going to go more this year too.

 

[Rupestris]

My only new fixed blade knife this year.

J-siah custom. Not what I usually use but I'm going to give it a work out and some woods time anyway.

 

[s7brad]

my main rotation, have quite a few more

the Javalina rides in my truck door

 

[pitdog]

It's a flat ground bushcrafter by Mark Wohlwend.
Sharp little thing !

Cool.

Since I'm rarely online at home I can never see any pics of his stuff. Thanks for posting it!

Are those wineberries with the second blade?

No pics, but I can go off the top of my head. Wanted to get a few new ones this year, but getting a used truck is more important. As you'll see, I am already covered in the blades department, working on my skills is more important.

Folders:
Remington R4 scout knife, Primble scout knife, Victorinox blue alox farmer, Victorinox new model Soldier (the more I use fixed blades, the less I use my CRK/Benchmade/Spyderco folders)

Fixed:
Sissipuukko 5" blade, Hackman Tapio Wirkkala large and small puukkos, Gossman Kephart, mini Kephart, Polaris, 5" Tusker, Mora Triflex, Fiddleback flat ground Terrasaur, Laconico Kephart, Dozier Wilderness.

I have other fixed blades that I use, but the ones above are the ones I use the most. Actually, for most woods stuff, I usually use my blue farmer, and my Gossman PSK. I've been trying my Estwing hatchet, mini Kephart or Polaris, and a scout knife. I like variety too much.

In my last couple of outings I only had these (and a Vic Farmer not pictured).
Willing to get down to mora+hawk only.

However, on a different note, I decided to do a little experiment and try out all the steel types I can find in scandi grind - see if there is any noticeable difference. So far I got: O1, 440C, A2, 3V and D2 (from left to right, as pictured below). Still looking for something in 1095....and some time to try them all out. Just a thought I got in my head...

 

[chopchop]

Here are some of mine. I also have a beautiful JK custom scandi w/ osage scales, a koyote slim finn, & a koster shortness, but they haven't made it out on any trips yet.

:thumbup: Aside from myself, I think you're the only other person on BF to use a Dexter Russell Sani-Safe for a chopper/camp knife. It's my only "chopper" knife since giving up the BK7. I think mine is just the 10" model.

 

[j williams]

Hey Chopcop, who made that leather for the Koster? Nice!!

Yeah, that one is the "fish splitter". It's a 12" blade with a convex edge & it's worked great for me. :thumbup: I have a 6" butcher knife that I cut down to about 4" and used as a sheath knife for awhile. I really like the sanisafe handles. Once I started coming here to BF, though, that one went back in the drawer. Too many other great knives caught my eye since then! lol

Hey Chopcop, who made that leather for the Koster? Nice!!

That one is a koster 3v blade with an osage handle, matching firesteel, & sheath all done by DJJ who's a BF member. I picked it up on the exchange about a year ago. The handle is perfect to hold & the sheath is top notch. I don't know if he does them all the time or not, but he's got some serious skill.
