My collection

[Bob W]

Bishop85gt,
That's a great start. But you (gasp) use them?! Then it's true, you can meet all sorts of people on these forums. Let me guess, you're from a long line of kife-users? Just kidding, I'm glad someone uses their's - so I can read reviews and find out which knives work well.

That new Gerber looks nice. I'd buy one myself but I wish it were a lockback. I have several Gerbers myself, including two Silver Knights, a Gator, and an LST. The EZ-Out is on my wanted list.

I admire people like Clydetz who have the discipline to focus their collections. I could never do that. My collection consists of, "Knives that Bob Finds Interesting."

I wish I had a picture of my knives laid out. More than some, fewer than others, but very diverse.

Best Wishes,
Bob

Hey, couple of questions on some knives in you guys' photos:

T. Erdelyi,
Top photo, bottom, right-center. Is that a Tekna diving/boot knife, or some other brand? I haven't seen Tekna for sale in a while...
Second photo, lower left center by the multi-tools. Are those AG Russell One-Hand Knives? Or does someone else use that design too?

Clydetz,
There are two knives in your photo that appear to be made from closed-end wrenches. Am I'm seeing that correctly? If so, who makes 'em?

Best Wishes,
-Bob

The boot knife is an old Fury made in Japan, and sold out of CA, about 15 years old.

The top knife is a Pat Crawford One Hand Knife,(nearly identical to A G Russell's) and the bottom one is an A G Russell bought off Mr. Russell himself at the first ECCKS.

I'm still not sure who designed the original, I believe it was Pat Crawford his were $200 + at the time and AG's were $80 so back in the late 80's I bought the A G Russell at the show, he cut himself right after that and had to go to the hospital for stitches.

It was Pat Crawford. There was some bad blood between Pat and AG regarding this model.

That's what I thought, but someone here told me it was Russells first.

Thanks for the info.

Intersting story about AG Russell and stitches. Goes with the business I guess. I remember visiting AG's store one day when it the 'showroom' was only a counter in the rear of an old farmhouse and he showed me how to use the One Hand Knife. But back then an $80 knife was as unobtainable as a $1000 knife. I bought something that day, but it wasn't a One-Hand-Knife. I have one now though, a First Production from The Cutting Edge.

Best Wishes,
