These blades are lined up such that the top-most part of the choil is even with each one....Oh I love them all...which is your favorite?.... :)

PS - 9/13 of these blades came from these forums. Thanks to you all for aiding my journey so far!

EDIT: The knives, from left to right...
-Large Sebenza 21 with Lingum Vitae inlay
-Benchmade 950 Rift
-Benchmade Harley Davidson G-10 Pika 13402
-Benchmade Osborne 940
-Kershaw Boa
-SOG Mini-Vulcan
-Spyderco Chinese Lum
-Kershaw R.A.M.
-Spyderco Caly3
-Small Sebenza 21
-Benchmade 707 Sequel
-Strider PT
...and along the bottom...
-Kershaw Outcast

To answer my own question....They are all my favorites! Seriously, after a year of looking, buying, handling, and trading, these are all blades that get pocket time. I lined them all up based on the choil because I'm trying to get a feeling of usable handle size a I prepare to order a Yuna, then they looked so pretty I figured I had to take a picture, and then it was so cool to see them all together I couldn't resist sharing. And yes, apparently I prefer tip-up :)

Very nice! It really gives a idea of just how big the Kershaw Outcast is.

What knife is between the Kershaw Boa and the Spyderco?
 
jesseaction - How can we pick a favorite? They're all beauties!! :thumbup:
 
Thats like picking your favorite child!

Looks like a nice overall collection of knives.

If I had to lean towards one - it would be the large Sebbie.
 
Darn, I can never pick the Bradley or the Sebenza - I was going to comment on the Alias but it's a Sebenza!! :confused:

What's the 2nd from the right end knife please?

Nice! All are fantastic:) Is that a Benchmade 707 Sequel on the right? Or a 705?

The second on the right is a 707 Benchmade Sequel. The 705 has had a different grind at the false edge, like the 710 is and its blade is wider than the 705 was.
 
Which is my favorite? All of them. Thanks for the size chart, i was wondering how some of these knives measured up.
 
Nice set of knives I also could not choose just one. Heres a question for ya... Which is the best slicer of them all??
 
I like the second from the left. What is it? Why dont you name them all in order so we don't have to ask which one we are admiring :D Thanks.

Edit: Mamba beat me to it lol crazyness
 
I updated with some names! Thanks for all your comments. To answer some of the questions..

-It is a 707 Sequel, not a 705.

-2nd from the left is indeed an Osborne designed Benchmade 950 Rift

-The one between the Boa and the Spyderco is a SOG Mini-Vulcan

-I absolutely love the PT and I definitely carry it, although I have only had it for a couple of weeks (thanks again Kirk!). It feels amazingly good in the hand, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it hard. You get the feeling that it could handle absolutely anything and is completely reliable, which I like a lot. The clip, however, really bugs me, especially since the end is so blocky that it sticks out even bigger than you'd expect. You get the feeling that half the knife is protruding from your pocket. I'm actually considering getting STR to install a low-ride clip, since the lanyard hole has probably already voided the warranty anyway. it is still an absolutely wicked blade though -- super comfortable and ready to rock.

-Best slicer? First, let me assure you that I carry all of these regularly (large seb today) and use them at every opportunity in all sorts of situations. That said, I haven't done much regular slicing with any of them, since I use my kitchen knives in the kitchen and don't have cause to cut up boxes too often. I imagine the sebs are excellent, although I've only had the large for a number of weeks and the small for a number of days (it was a wild month:D) so I haven't really cut anything with either one yet. Out of all these guys, the Caly 3 still sits very high up the perfection scale with respect to feel in hand and utility. It is stout and comfortable with a clean full-flat grind that is ready for anything. I can't recommend it enough, and it is my favorite, although so are the 940, the PT, both sebs, and the Lum. Oh yeah, and the others too of course. :cool:

Hell yeah man, the pt is nice! Even though it may stick out a little bit, I found it disappears in your pocket until you need it. Heres some more pictures of Jesse's PT. You can use these for your own pictures if you want jesse. :)
