Here's mine...

Dan Koster w/ my attempt at a forced patina, Ed Caffrey in damascus, David Broadwell and a couple by Murray Carter

Wusthof Classic's see very little use anymore!
 
003.jpg This is my collection, at least the stuff I've made. The Santoku was one of my first knives, and my very first kitchen knife (1080+ steel). The paring knife was my third kitchen knife (1084 steel). The san mai with turkish walnut is my wife's favorite (Hitachi White #2, wrought iron). The petty knife with mesquite wood is ground SUPER thin, my favorite! 1.6mm spine, FFG, <.005" at the edge before sharpening! (O-7 tool steel). Please excuse the oil streaks on the handles! Should have wiped those down better.
 
Two from Tom Krein, two from David Boye, and one each from PJ Tomes and the Damascus is from Audra Draper..... :)

Better look at the Rader, 52100 with maple:

Paring knives:

Guinea Hog Forge O1 with ivory micarta, Nick Wheeler O1 with ironwood, Michael Rader Cru Forge V with maple
 
These 3 are used daily(along with a Kramer/Zwillings paring in 52100, but does not fit this subforum),top down,

Randy Haas chef's in Bjorgman twist Damasteel, Randy Jr. twist carbon bolsters, rosewood burl handles, copper liners

Jon Christensen M.S. santoku, Jon's leaf damascus, CA buckeye burl handles with blackwood

Phillip Dobson santoku, M390(Ht'd by Peters to 61) blackwood, olive wood, and Mike Sakmar 3 toned twist mokume gane fittings.

All edges maintained on Shapton glass stones and CBN on bridle leather strop.

There is a Devin Thomas piece in the mix.;)

Desert Ironwood and Natural Micarta predominate.

Phillip Baldwin kitchen knife, about 1/8" carbon steel stock, forged to shape, nice distal taper, double bevel, Arizona Desert Ironwood scales, about 10 thou at the primary bevel. I don't use it much(or any carbon blades for that matter), although it has a patina, it still gets a fair amount of powder oxidation. GREAT cutter/slicer!

Best Regards,

Currently just these two, but I'm looking to expand..

Patrick Barter 210mm Wa Gyuto - AEB-L, Black Canvas, Red fiber, Cocobolo

Nick Wheeleer "Fruit and Veggie Slayer" 1080+ & Dyed Stabilized Box Elder

 
Made my wife a magnetic rack a little while back and finally started putting some of my knives on it.

Crappy pic.

 
I've never seen a magnetic rack with a wood layer between the magnet and knife, that's pretty cool. Those magnetic racks at kitchen knife shops tear the heck out of the knives, which is why I've never used one.

Thanks Greg.
I just milled two channels in the back within about .060" of the front and epoxied strong Neodymium magnets in the back. It works great.
