I haven't yet posted photos of my knife collection. Everytime someone starts a collection thread on here I it reminds me that I need to take pictures, but for some reason I could never remember to do it when I was at home and had the chance. Tonight I didn't really have anything to do since the wife was having dinner with her brother's new fiance's parents and I opted not to attend, so I finally thought to take some pictures. I know it's not much. All of my knives are users and I have a tendancy to give knives to friends of mine when I think they need them more than I do so the collection is always being thinned.
I also have a collection of autos. Most of the autos I collect aren't fancy new stuff. They're knives that I loved when I was a kid but could never find or afford (even though most of them are cheap), so don't expect to see a ton of Benchmades, Microtechs, etc. As a kid, I liked switchblades I saw in the movies and I still like them.
Enjoy.

Machetes. All are convext and the Ontario (Betty) is my user/novelty jokingly drawn all over thing.

You might notice that my Recon 1 folder isn't in the pictures. It's on the way back from being fixed at Cold Steel.
 
Whoa....is that an Aitor OTF under the two Microtech clones?

Honestly, I don't know who makes it. It doesn't have any company name on it. I just thought it was an interesting auto design. I bought it simply because it was the OTF in the movie Romancing the Stone used by the bad guy.
 
Great collection! I love Betty:D What (auto?) is the bone-handled folder with the saw blade?

Thats pretty sweet bro. I spent my entire boyhood with a Kabar USMC on my belt. THat thing was so beat up. After I went to college my parents "say" they lost my knife collection. But my belief is that they sold it at a garage sale. Sad too. I had some gooduns. Either way, I'll never see that Kabar again.

That is a Mikov. Easily my favorite auto.

That sucks bro. I've had both of those Kabars for a pretty long time. Back when I bought those, I was still very much into partially serrated blades, I've modified both of them a couple of times. The one with the leather stacked handle recently became the first partially serrated scandi grind Kabar I've ever seen. I did both the primary edge and top edge scandi. It turned out pretty cool. The pictures make it hard to see the grind and the incredible patina I put on it.
