Im a new member of BladeFormus.com so I like to show you my small collection. Knife collecting a very small hobby of me. The main reason I buy them is using them. Knifes I think I will be needing for a lots of jobs that are not to expensive. And off course knifes I really like looking at (you al know what I mean
). But they al have to be user-friendly and good for the job.

The first knife I ever owned as a kid is the small Victorinox whit a two sizes knifes, saw, corkscrew, awl, two sizes screwdrivers, bottle and a can opener. Four years afterwards, lacking a bigger and locking blade I went for the Wenger Ranger whit almost the same set-up. Then I thought it would be the last folding-knife I bought. But this year, after travelling a long time I needed a kind of multi-tool so got the LM new Wave.
The J. Marttiini is from a holiday in Finland. Its the beautiful Lynx (nr. 129) model. Its a 9 inch fixed blade, razor-sharp and perfect for small-game-hunting and fishing. Since a week I own a Ontario Spec Plus 2 Air force survival. Not to big, good all-round outdoor knife and I really like the military field knife style. Carrying the SP2 next to my LM makes a good usable combination. [small reviews of any knife can be edit on demand]
Other then these I have some less quality knifes. Like a Herbertz one-hand-knife (bought in Belgium), a front moving-auto-kife (stiletto) and two balisongs. A 11 ½ and a 3 ½ inch either one is useless. To big and heavy to swing whit ant the other is very easy to hide but not strong. (Bought the large one on a holiday in France)
