New to the Forum, Here's my small collection!

[MaritimeGuy]

As this is my first post i'd like to say a big hello to everyone. I'll start out with showing off my collection. There's nothing to amazing in it but i'm still pretty proud of them all!

This is a Gerber lock blade that my father bought. Never used always stored in its case

Another one of my dad's knives a Taymor Nomad

One of my grandfathers old lock blades with real bone handles.

A World Famous boot knife

Diver's knife my father used when he used to dive

A WWII era Swedish bayonet with Officer's frog

Were not really sure what this one is but some research has hinted it is a Zouave Bayonet from the civil war

This is one of my favorites, a bone handled Eskimo knife my father found when he was in northern Labrador with the government

My working knife, its seen manys a day in the field, a Grohmann Boat Knife

Another Grohmann but this one's never been used. This example is the Belt Knife or Survival Knife

And Finally my most expensive piece a Carl Wusthof Hitler Youth Knife. Pre RZM knife in amazing shape. This was a gift to my dad on his last birthday.

Please leave any comments or questions, i'd love to hear what you think!

That"s a great collection. Alot of my knives are from my dads collection too, and worth more to me than any other knife I could possibly
buy.

Welcome to the forums! Nice little collection. Looks like you should get into some modern pieces if you have any interest in that.

I have one of those first Gerbers. Somewhere around 1970 or slightly after that my father had a friend who was a guide in Wyoming. He said that that particular Gerber was the best knife he had ever used on game, and would hold an edge through processing a lot of large game animals. Back then I recall that Gerber also made sheath knives with a similar blade shape and finger grooves, and they were available in stainless steel and carbon steel. The thing that stood out to me was that the carbon steel models were advertised to have a very high hardness on the RC scale.
