Microtech UMS
Benchmade Mini Spear point Stryker

Fooj: You have a beautiful Sebbie and Mnandi. What is "Taiko"? If you do not mind me asking.
 
My list barely include's five knives, as that is all I have, and they are the following;

1-BM Rukus
2-Strider AR
3-Jeff Hall Phalanx ( only carried in a suede pocket pouch, and only rarely at that)
4-Crawford Large Wortac (in the process of getting this one from Pat, but it will DEFINATELY see regular carry)
5-Case Barlow (always carried)
 
LOL, 4 knives? Security at the JSC space center would love that. Have to go on site there usually once a day and knives are not allowed.

CRKT KISS Tanto - Looks more like a money clip than a knife and doesn't need to be opened to see how large the blade is. Keeps the hippies from crying wolf.

AT HOME:
BM 806D2 CE - Black
BM 9050 CE - Black
BM 710 CE - Black
Spyderco Police
Spyderco Pro-Venator
Spyderco Endura
Swiss Champ SAK
Tekna Survival Knife

BM 805
CRK Large Regular Sebenza
Victorinox Executive (or Classic)
Spyderco Endura
Victorinox Pioneer

I'll cheat and add a 6th; my Spyderco red Ladybug is always on my keyring except when going to certain events, gov't buildings, etc. It's rarely used but always there. And sometimes I switch out my Endura for a BM 556 Griptilian.

I know this has been posted many times before, BUT it's a damn good question and we need to know!

Here's mine, in no particular order:

CRK Small Regular Sebenza
Spyderco ZDP Delica 4
BM Mini Skirmish - 503 Black with Blue dots
BM 690
Spyderco Manix
Click to expand...

I almost forgot about this thread until it was resurrected this week.

The only change in my lineup in the last 2 months is that I retired the 690 and replaced it with a Bradley/BM Large Alias. I'm becoming a big fan of this knife.
 
Swamp Rat Rat Trap
Microtech Amphibian (auto)
Kershaw Chive
Gerber 'Fatty'
Swamp Rat Custom Shop Dog Skinner
 
Byrd G10 Meadowlark
Vic Farmer
Opinel #10
Vic Nylon Solo
Buck 110

I also carry a Vic Classic with an LED on a lanyard whenever it's night or if I don't want to carry a full size knife that day. The large Opinel goes with me to the woods alot, since it's a comfy folder that cuts great and has a long enough blade to baton with. More convenient carry than my Mora's.
 
Kershaw Leek
Bud Nealy Aikuchi
Leatherman Charge XTi
Boker Helios Cera-Titan
Boker 1054 Leo Damascus II

Hope to get my small and large Sebenza knives this week and a few other surprises so the lineup will change for sure.
 
This week:

BM-850 (Mel Pardue), with white Micarta-Scales
BM-814 AFCK, with G-10-Realtree-Scales
Spydie Delica C43, with wood-inlay by Santa Fe
Slipjoint Folder by Leon Pittman, WORM, with mammoth ivory scales
and since yesterday :)
CR Mnandi, with mammoth ivory scales
 
Mark Laramie Gentleman's Folder
Todd Orr Skyblade Bobcat
Charlie Haines Personal Design
Calvin Nichols Personal Skinner knife,these are my every day carry knives.

The reason I ONLY carry knives that were custom made just for me is a spiritual choice I made when I first began to collect blades.
The feeling I get from a blade that was made from scratch just for me is good. I know it may seem weird to many others,but a store bought mass produced blade has no soul. No center at all.Mine do. They were created only for me,and have been handled only by me. They are my knives. They all have their own spirit and chee if you would. They understand what I expect from them and in return I lavish them with great care and love.
I really take great pride in my knives,they aren't just steel to me. Not even close.

Peace.
