You don't have a Benchmade 940, I'd go with the 940-1

You also dont have this 0990, it's sweet!

That's a decent collection. You've got a few Chinese-made knives but you are missing entries from some of the more prolific Chinese companies. Definitely look at WE, including their more budget-friendly brands in Civivi and Sencut, as well as the knives they make for Ferrum Forge. Definitely check out Kizer. They have a bunch of cool stuff. You might also look at Reate.

Here are just a few examples. I took this picture for another thread on slightly more office-friendly carry knives. From left to right and smallest to largest: two different versions of the Mini Begleiter from Kizer, a modified Civivi Bo, a BHQ exclusive Civivi Elementum, a Sencut Neches, and the excellent WE Beacon.

Focus on some classics.
Get you an Opinel, like, a nice limited one, not a normal one if you don't do normal. Get a Mercator with a pocket clip. Get the Douk-Douk Le Giant. Get a Higonokami. A Mora no. 1.
You have nice knives!
 
If it were me I’d keep the Hinderers, the Zaan and the 110. Sell the rest , buy a Mnandi and put the remaining cash into a custom of one form or another. But what do I know I’m just some random old dude from the internet!
Oh and very nice collection!
 
Well, I would say you might buy a basic membership for the forum ;) doesn't cost much and helps to keep it running Spark Spark every little bit helps and if you go to a Gold membership then you can actually list some of those in your collection up for sale on the Exchange part of the forum.

As to what to get, I recently picked up a Spyderco Tenacious in S35vn and like it quite a bit, I added a custom lanyard on there, just something that I like to do, the folder is very user friendly and sharp...of course.

I like how the edge goes up to the handle scales, so you don't lose any portion of the edge much at all.

I'm a Gold member now yay happy I can support a little
 
I’m pretty easy to make happy :)
But being gold does give you a lot more and yep, it does help out the forum too,
You’ll find the private messages will come in handy as well just remember to keep them deleted once you are done with them as you will only have so many
Good stuff and good luck with your search!
