I sometimes find myself wondering what’s in our follow forumites collections.
Some of us, senior Gill, Murray and several others have links to our photo sites where all our knives are proudly displayed for all to enjoy. Others hold their collections very close to the vest only posting an occasional photo or making reference to a specific piece from time to time. Others have never posted a photo or indicated what’s in their collections, but enjoy photos and often comment on others knives.

We are very fortunate to have Coop and Chuck here as their beautiful photos sure add a lot to this customs forum in addition to their other contributions, views and opinions.

We are very fortunate to have fine makers here that often post photos of their knives as they are finished.

So, as I’m not usually bashful with my threads, I’m just going to ask our resident collectors? Especially you guys and girls that don’t share too much.

What maker’s knives do you have in your collections?

Maybe post some photos?
 
I will be in San Diego this fall and have an invitation to visit the reclusive Mr. Garsson a view his collection. :thumbup:

But I had to agree to NO pictures. :grumpy:

Great makers, great knives.
I was glad to see Matt win the antique Bowie knife award at Blade.
 
johnathan...very nice collection of folders....i don't know anything about folders but i'm sure if i picked up a hanson i don't think i'd be able to put it down.....ryan
 
Here's a Daniel Winkler set from the collection of my friend Chuck Kerwin. This set is very unique as Daniel used Daryl Meier ladder pattern Damascus supplied by Chuck for the blades. This is the set that Daniel mentioned in one of his post the other day.
As always magnificent sheathwork by Karen Shook.

I forgot about Desrosiers, Newton, Maragni, Szilaski, and Tim Foster. I guess Murray Carter also, but they are in the knife block and really don't count.

I am perpetually waiting on a knife from Lamey too.
 
Hanson, Cashen, Dean, Foster, Rodebaugh, White, DesRosiers, Tomberlin, Buxton, Lamey, Holson.

Here is Adam DesRosiers' J.S. ivory test fighter. I hope Adam can get back to knifemaking again soon.
