I'm a big Cold Steel fan, so my collection is pretty predictable. I've got a 3-inch Voyager, an X2 6-inch serrated Voyager, a black Scimitar folder, a double-edge Triple Action, a Master Tanto, a Black Bear Classic, an R1 Military Classic, a Black Sable :)D), a clip-point Arc-Angel, an Ultimate Hunter, a 5-inch tanto-point Twistmaster, a San Mai Trailmaster, and some other odds and ends---still lookin for the Shinobu though. :( I've also got a Spyderco Lil' Temperance, an S30V Military, a Chinook II, and a Buck 110 from Cabela's with the CPM S30V blade heat treated by Paul Bos. I think this is pretty decent for a 14-year-old Boy Scout. What are the center pieces of your collection?
 
Benchmade 3550, black, partial seration
Benchmade 9050, black, partial seration
2 Kershaw "Military" boot knives
Kershaw Leek, black, partial seration
and a Ka-Bar tanto

these are all great knives, I would reccomend them to anyone, the Ka-Bar, however, is not what I need in a knife. I can't carry it around, as with my other knives I do carry 3 at any given time. I didn't like the Kershaw boot knives sheath setups they came with. The plastic sheaths had loops on the point end, which rubbed my ankles the wrong way. The nylon webbing was crap, so I threw it all away. I had a local leather shop make me a pair of rigs that I can use IWB, OWB, ankle w/ support, or simply iside the boot. Good knives, and with any Benchmade, you can not go wrong. Kershaws are great for the money. Sorry, but these are the only knives I have any real experience with.

SAKs are by far my favorite types of knives. They carry well, they're hardly ever an issue with cops or sheeple, they have thin flatground blades which is my favorite type of blade geometry and the tools extend their scope of use far past a typical folding pocket knife.

The 110 and Manix are my larger folders. Both are excellent knives. I like the blade on the Manix better and the ergos are amazing, but overall the 110 just has a great, classic feel with plenty of heft to compare with the Manix.

Opinels are another of my favorite knives. I'd like to get more to customize. I really like the feel of the wooden handles and their blades are similar to SAKs, which is to my liking.

The fixed blades don't see much action. The Mora comes with me when I go to the woods sometimes, but usually I do fine with a SAK or Opinel. The Ontario prettymuch got regulated to sharpening experiments. It's bigger than anything I ever need to carry and pretty damn tactical looking to boot, bad combination. The Colt, for a knife that'd be looked down upon here is a pleasure to use. It's got wonderful ergonomics and nice wood handles, but the blade is a bit thicker than it should be. The jimping on the spine is so pronounced that it can double as a saw. Sounds like it should tear up the thumb, but it's not uncomfotable surprisingly. Takes a keen edge and the 440 holds up fine. Not bad for 30$ at normal price, though I got it discounted 25%.
 
I have: A Hinderer XM-18, a Firetac, Tom Krein TK-2, a large regular Sebenza, a small classic Sebenza, a Bocote wood Mnandi, a blue circles Umfaan, a Patrick Nihiser "little teaser", a Combat Elite RRF, a Peter Atwood Solar Arc, several Spyderco knives, 2 SAK's, 1 Al Mar, 3 TOPS kives; a Wolf Pup, a Street Scalpel, and a CQT Magnum. I have several fixed blades as well: Ranger Knives; RD 6 & RD 4, and a couple of Bark River Knives. I also have a John Greco boot knife.
 
Here's mine, if I can remember correctly:

POS PRC: ~10 or so that never see the light of day including LCC D/A clone, 2 cheap balis, others not worth mentioning...

Still need to get a custom. Not a decent-sized fix blade in the bunch, yet. Would love to find a William Henry with ZDP-189, and a few more Microtechs, plus a few Benchmades and Spydercos.

Leatherman Charge Ti, original Wave
Camillus Pilot Survival Knife
Buck Vanguard
Gerber Gator,Ez Out Junior, Vector, Ultralight LST (i know, i know they aren't even made with ATS34 or anything)
 
Just started on mine:
Camillus Heat
Leatherman Wave
Spyderco Pacific Salt w/ Wave and modified point
Benchmade Griptilian 551
 
I'm at work so I don't have model numbers but from memory:

10 or 11 Benchmades (I prefer the big Axis locks) fixed and folding
1 Hideaway Straight
20+ Cold Steel fixed & folding
8 or 9 Spydercos
around 10 CRKT
2 Byrds
4 KaBars (2 old school, 2 of the great new big ones)
2 SOG
4 Bucks
2 Strider Bucks
3 Teknas
2 Case
3 Colts
2 authentic Japanese pre WWII Katanas (war trophies from my grandpop)
Gil Hibben throwers
Assorted junkers and snoozers.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot. My favorites by far are the Benchmades and the Strider Bucks. I just got my Hideaway and I love it. I really want a some real Stiders, Emersons, MODs and Microtechs- Extrema Ratio and TOPS too. There are several custom makers out there that I really want stuff from but I just don't have the money. I'm hopelessly addicted to Cold Steel everything and refuse to go to their website any more.

Basically I'm a huge dork.
