I have GEC's built on the #15 and #54 frames. My Harness Jack (CC SFO) will be on me when I die. Of that I am certain.

Essentially bushcraft to survival (though I hate using this term) type knives from Bark River, Blind Horse, LT Wright, Enzo, Diving Sparrow, Adventure Sworn, and Dogwood Custom. Axes from Gransfors Bruks. Folders from Great Eastern and Spyderco. Kinda funny how my preference for knives progressed as I got more dirt time. My first knife was a Cold Steel SRK San Mai, a 3/16" thick, 6" long stainless steel knife. Couldn't believe I was spending over a 100 bucks on a knife and told myself this will be my one and only tool for practicing survival skills 
. Now I hardly use any knife over 4.5 inches and 1/8" thick, and majority of them being 01 steel.

I just got my first Turley. I put it next to a runt for size comparison. This is a one off and a very interesting little knife. Iz classified it in the neck knife category. It is 3/16" 01 steel and has a pommel plate. It weighs in at 5.8oz. The runt in the picture is 2.1oz. and my burl monarch is 4.8oz for comparison. I made some feather sticks with it and it has an awesome edge. The weight of it actually feels great in the hand. I would love to get my hands on one of his 3-4" bushcraft knives.
The sheath in the picture was a generous gift from a stellar forum member who has hooked my up with some of my favorite fiddlebacks. It is one of Mark Condos sheaths and it is absolutely stunning.
Here is the 3/16" spine next to the 3/32" tapered runt.

The first knife I ever cared for was an Uncle Henry Hunting knife that my stepdad had and gave to me. I completely disassembled the knife, cleaned it, soaked the blade in vinegar to remove rust, then put it all back together - after gun-blueing the blade. Still love that knife awesome knife. I have several other makers, a few Bear and Sons folders, a few from Queen Cutlery, a few Swiss Army knives, a few RAT knives from Esee and Ontario, a few Kabars, a few Boker, and a Spartan. Then there are the Fiddleback Family of makers - I have knives from Fletcher, WAS, Valkyrie - still waiting on Osprey, 40 Point and a few others to add to my collection. Currently EDC a Curtiss Knives folder and a Fiddleback Runt.
