(UPDATED 2 YEARS LATER) My collection.

[MarineAir]

Got all the knives together for a few passes on the sharpmaker today and I took the opportunity to take some pictures.

Heres the whole group

The fixed blades

The Ontario Pilots knife was 'aquired' from my old man's squadron in the early 70s. The Mora joined the group thanks to blade forums, and the HEST is my favorite blade overall.

Folders

That Gerber was my first EDC knife all through college, sure got a lot of use. Then I wised up. I also swore off serrations. Thats my 3rd Leek, lost the first two due to weak pocket clips. The Buck got most of the pocket time over the last couple years until I got my first Spyderco. Thats the go to folder these days.

Slippies

I don't quite remember which came first but the Stockman or the small SAK were my first knives. They both saw a lot of time in the woods behind the house when I was a kid.

Multitools

The CX was a mainstay on my flak, and now lives in my flight suit. The wave stays with the hiking and shooting gear, don't carry it much but its a great tool.

Its not much, but its mine, and its growing. Clearly I'm in need of a big fixed blade. Probably going to go the ESEE route for that one. Thanks for looking.

If it goes anything like my gun collection went in the first year on the forums at defensivecarry.com, I'm gunna need a bigger apartment.

good start glad to see I am not the only one on here who has a more modest size collection.

Nice collection! You've got some high quality blades there.

Nice start on a collection.

Perhaps add a french folder, as they are so much different from the rest of your collection. An Opinel wou be cool (and it's so cheap you really shouldn't even think about it), or if you have the budget a Chambriard Le Compagnon or a nice laguiole.

My updated collection.

Fixed blades, gave my dad back his Pilots knife, lent the TDI to a deployed friend.

Spydercos, I definitely figured out what I like in single blade folders... Spyderco has my number. Lent the original Manix 2 to the same deployed buddy of mine.

Other brand folders, got a better clip for my Leek.

Got that Alox sickness too.

Didn't see the need to add much here.

Thanks for looking.
