Here's a couple:
I don't know what happened to the Steel Mariners, it looks like there is a shortage of them.

Sorta accidentally realized that these are an interesting pairing.

The Benchmade is a Bob Lum design, which always led me to think it was Asian-influenced (I see the traditional Chinese leaf-shaped blade, for instance). But then, the other day I compared it to my Sardinian Resolza, and found a surprising similarity between the two. What do you guys think?

Hey rinos, is that the full-size or the smaller one?
Quite a handy blade shape, isn't it? I find that the tall flat grind slices through thick stuff like heavy rope & such almost as well as some of my traditional folders. Blasphemy!

I hadn't yet posted in this thread but since my two newest acquisitions, (gifted by my lovely wife for this year's birthday), are made to order for this discussion, I figured I may as well post 'em up:

Jared Oeser: Diamond Edge Cattle Knife:

Chris Reeve: Small Sebenza 21 "Insingo" (with "Glorious" CGG scale)
