What brand makes up the largest part of your traditional knife collection?

[3-1-1]

By far Case. Though GEC has been gaining serious ground.

 

[Wurrwulf]

1. Case
2. Everybody else

After the multiple sell-offs I had in 2017, I have around 20 knives from Case while GEC, Buck, Imperial, Schrade, Opinel, SAK, etc all have 5 or less. I had close to two-dozen GECs at one point, but those are long gone.

 

[ISKRA]

I don't really have a collection, I consider it a small horde of knives I use.

1. Case
2. Schrade
3. GEC, Victorinox

Robeson, Remington, Iskra, Carl Schlieper, Giesen & Forsthoff, Linder, Wenger all share their place. I only have one of each. A few are mistery knives without markings.

 

[mrknife]

GEC followed by Queen/Schatt & Morgan than CSC but soon that'll change! GEC will still win by a mile

 

[redsparrow]

GEC, Buck, Case, Victorinox and Schrade in that order comprise about 2/3 of my entire hoard.

 

[L. Richard]

1. Case
2. Victorinox
3. Queen
4. Buck
5. Schrade
6. Bark River
7. Arno Bernard
8. GEC

 

[Henry Beige]

Who’s counting? I have at least half a dozen from each of the following makers: Opinel, Case, Mora, Victorinox, Rough Rider and Condor, with Opinel and Rough Rider contending for the top slot.

Vic SAKs dominate in terms of numbers. Second are the slippies made by GEC. I wouldn't even know that except with the GEC stuff I started a "list" last year as I couldn't remember what I owned. Case and Queen/S&M are about tied in terms of numbers. I don't collect knives, so I am starting to review my inclinations about future purchases. I don't see much point in owning 50 GEC's for example. I don't sell them. I do intend to buy a #14 with a clip blade on it however....

Come on guys and gals. Don't just tell us what ya got show us some of what ya got.

Case Sod Busters

 

[dsutton24]

Buck by far, with Western a Henckels fighting it out for second place.

This is what I have sitting on my desk currently.
I have some others squirreled away somewhere ...
Like my #66s are on my night stand, some knives are on the garage workbench, some are in the vehicles, and a couple of Shrades that I bought over 35 years ago are sitting in a steamer trunk in the garage (keepsakes).

 

[Peregrin]

Case by far for manufactured traditional knives.
Here's an older pic of a few Case-Bose collabs, just so Ed doesn't get mad at me . I do agree with him. Pictures are nice!

Ya. When I first started roping I needed a "good" pocket knife. I bought a couple of Schrades (one lockback and one stockman) from a local western store in Phoenix. I've kept them all these years because they remind me of some good times. Other knives have come and gone, but I'll hang onto those forever. Some day I'll dig them out and snap a picture.

 

[redsparrow]

An Old Uncle Henry 897 is possibly my favorite stockman and I just picked up a Schrade LB5 (lockback) a couple days ago. Made 1983 I am very impressed with the it. Couple of great knives, I look forward to seeing yours one day.

 

[rarreola]

queen then Boker, Case XX and GEC.

 

[marsturm]

I didn't consider myself a knife collector until I learned about GEC Knives. GEC's, including Northwoods offerings, account for the single largest group of my knives. Followed by Victorinox, Case, and Buck.

I hear that! So true!

 

[RDaneel]

Case, followed by Victorinox with all the other brands far behind. If we were just talking cost, then GEC would be a close contender.

 

[Modoc ED]

I don't have many pre-2006 Schrade knives nor post-2006 Schrade knives for that matter and no group shot of any that I have. Here are some pictures of the ones I have.
