They say a collection consist of at least three or more items that have something in common. Let's see your collections just remember at least three or more knives with something in common. In this case it could be scale material like all pearl, or patterns like all trappers or even one brand/maker like all Case or Sebenzas. Don't use the old, "Well they're all knives ploy as that won't fly.

Nothin' drives me crazier than when someone starts these kinda threads and never post theirs so here's a few examples of what's acceptable.

All BFC Traditional Forum's Annual knife

All Gerber's

All Queen Winter bottom Bone Scales

Not acceptable they're just a random group of fixed blades with nothing in common.

Another random group shot of a bunch of folders, not a collection.

I've only got 2 Dragonflys a SS and a Salt2, not a collection but I do have a collection of Spydercos starting with the first one, the C01 Worker. Bought it from Sal himself at one of the first ECCKS or NYCKS shows, stopped to buy a Sharpmaker sharpener and he convinced me to buy this ugly knife with a bump, a hole and a pocket clip, (crazy, I know, no one was gonna buy a knife with a hole in it ).
 
I like light knives, blade length/profile-overall weight are my main driving points behind each blade I look at. These all work awesome for me.



G10
Exemption on the 5400. First "real" knife Iv owned and the reason I pursue lighter blades. It is the heaviest folder I own @ 4.6oz.






CF
some of the lightest knives in their class :D

I love CF Deer, can't afford it but I like it, seein' as how a collection starts with 3... I do have a collection of CF and Ti, my periodic table collection or my TiC collection

:D Nice! Also nice to see a Sebenza that has actually seen use!
 
Case Stockman patterns:



Case Copperheads:


They are all green:

Case makes it easy to build collections, they have such a large variety of patterns and materials there's all kinds of sub collections that can be made. :)

All Case, all Yellow Delrin and all CV blades, a trifecta. ;)

I have a handful of yellow Delrin CV Case knives too, just no pics of them. I am into knives, but not so much into photography (phone-tography these days).
 
I'm into both, I've had a camera with me in one form or another as long as I've had a knife, nearly 40 years, so I enjoy composing as well as snapshot photography. Knives lend themselves very knicely to photography, they compliment each other.
 
Good stuff, Erdelyi. You don't see many Gerber Bolt Actions around these days. I gave mine to my son in law a few years ago. At least its still in the family.
They were a pretty decent knife.
 
Cool thread, Ted. I'll have to find some time and put a few group pics together. For now, I found this previously posted pic on my computer....

These are my Sages, which pay tribute to various locking mechanisms and their creators/popularizers. There are five here which comprise the options for the first 4 models: Sage 1--Walker Liner lock with CF scale; 2--Reeve Integral Lock in Ti; 3--Blackie Collins Bolt Lock, first release in blue G10, second in CF over G10; 4--in tribute to Al Mar with its wooden scales and polished bolsters reminiscent of his Eagle/Falcon/Hawk lines, though the mid-back lock was developed by Harvey McBurnette, Dick Dorough and W T Fuller.

The Sage 3's may be the smoothest knives I've come across. These knives make nice little carries, if one can consider any typical Spyderco little with its width in pocket, but since I put them under glass they seem to just stay there. After waiting along with many others for the Sage 5's release I have yet to pick one up. I'll probably get one, as I do favor the Compression Lock it features, though I'm not sure why I'm waiting. Maybe the bloom is off the rose a bit, or perhaps it's the unremarkable CF they used for the scale.

Anyway, here's the gang....

Great collection and a story to go with it. I love a collection with a history and a good explanation. I thought David Boye invented the midlock lock back. Anyway great shot.
