Personal Collection Galleries

[Jon Brand]

For me, one of the best things about custom knives is browsing other peoples collections. Some folks prefer to keep their collections private, and for good reason. Others including myself enjoy showing off as much as possible! If you don't mind being public I would encourage you to start a free fototime account. I love being able to display my collection in one spot and love even more to browse my buddy's collections.

I want to share the websites and fototime galleries that I know of and ask you to include any that I forgot. If you start a new account, please feel free to share it here! I hope nobody minds me sharing their site on here. Please let me know. I apologize if I left anyone out!

In addition to the pride and enjoyment some have in sharing their collections, it's GOOD for custom knives.

The more custom knives that are "out there" for folks to see and enjoy, the better for us all.

It would pretty much "Suck BIG Time" if every custom knife made went straight from maker's bench to collector's safe.

Jon- good one my man!
and I agree 100% Kevin.
Just so long as your knife gallery isn't a bunch of links to a purveyor's site, there won't be any problems from me!

Nice work, Jon--thank you.

I want to know where Joe Paranee keeps all his gun photos.

But I'd settle for pics of his blades. :thumbup:

Great thread!

I started a blog about my collection. Only a few knives shown yet, it's a work in progress.

Also have a thread here on bladeforums about my collection, but it's not up to date...

I plan to make some major updates to my blog in the next few weeks.

Enjoy the pics!

Kind regards,

Jos

On the other side of things, I was having a conversation with a buddy about the reality of this evil world. Its potentially extremely dangerous to reveal all this stuff on the internet and I understand that. So although I like to encourage people to share, it may not be the best advice. That part is up to you. For me this is one of the highlights of collecting, but maybe because I have not had it come back to bite me yet.

Those are some terrific collections for sure.
