I've been working on collecting all of the kershaw knockout versions and it made me curious what everyone else is working on as collecting an entire model of knife. I am sure there are lots of Kershaw, Spyderco, and Benchmade collections out there. Anyone else have other collections they want to share. I will post a picture of my knockouts once the one thats in the mail makes it to me.

I had all the 940's and all the Grips...

This was many years ago, not sure if I would attempt either one of those today.
 
I have every version of the BM Grip and by every version I mean one big one and one small one.
 
I have all the Kershaw Skylines, including several customs and a few factory unique blade graphics. I believe the only one I don't have is the ultra-rare Ducks Unlimited version.
 
At one point in time I had every version of M7 bayonet issued to US troops. Now I am down to about five.

I also have every major variation of the Victorinox/Wenger Soldier, Pattern 61. Except one. Amazing how prices have climbed over the past few years.
 
I think some of those bayonets would be cooler. Thats an awesome collection I would love to have.

That Skyline collection is a must too. Say must show.
 
This is as close as I've gotten. I'm still on the lookout for a few more, but don't intend to go after all the serrated stuff. There's 2 duplicates in this pic but the rest are unique in some way.

I have both versions of the Benchmade Bedlam, satin and black serrated. I guess I always like to try something new so haven't focused on just one particular knife to collect. Though I will buy more Spyderco Pms and Military's. Just can't have enough of those two.

It took me almost two years to find all of them. It was a real challenge on a couple.

Send me your email address and I will write you a crash course about M7 bayonet collecting.
 
I have never owned more than one of the same knife, unless you count a grip and mini grip I had once.

I guess I just don't feel the need. I own a sprint run Manix 2, cts-xhp, with desert ironwood scales by sketchen.

Most of my knives are either too hard to find or too cost prohibitive to own seconds. If, God forbid, my collection were lost or stolen, there is only one knife I would replace with the same. There is too much out there for me to try.

I have yet to find the perfect knife. If Spyderco made a CTS-XHP Manix 2 flipper (i know it's impossible), I would own like 5.

I would love to but the knives I really like are too expensive to collect every single version of unfortunately. But if I had to choose a model it would be the Microtech LUDT
 
Pretty sure I have every FFG Ladybug...there's only 4 that I know of and each one has a different steel!... and yes.. I'm weird :D

With the exception of rare and deceased manufacturers, I think I have just about every Becker made - other than the Brute and the BK21.

But at least I have back-ups for the the back-ups on some of my favorites.:D

Do you have one of the very rare G10 Knockouts?

I don't and have been looking everywhere for it. I tried contacting several members here who have had one at one point or another but no luck so far. I will keep looking and hopefully be able to add it to my collection at some point.
 
I have 1 of every US made GI issued bayonet since 1903 by every maker in all handle materials (leather, wood, plastic) excepting the rubber handled Okinawa refurbed M4s. I only have 4 of those. It is unlikely all brands were included in the refurbishment program. I'm still missing a few socket bayonets from the early 1800s, the ACW Dahlgren Navy bayonet and some of the NG froged Springfield Trapdoor bayonet scabbards.
 
I am about to complete my collection of Hold Out I knives from Cold Steel.
I only need to get the Limited Edition, OD Green one.

I have both plain and serrated AUS8, both plain and serrated CTS-XHP and the Limited Edition in Coyote Tan G10...
