Nice knives, I like that old Sog S1 as I've got one just like it. There are so many knives out there the world is your oyster. Congrats and good luck on your hunt that's half the fun.

Hi Sam and welcome to the forums!

Is there a budget? I would highly suggest adding a Spyderco and/or ZT. My two favorite companies.

Those are the full size BM Griptilians right? A Spyderco Paramilitary 2 (PM2) would be the same size blade. Or the Paramilitary 3 for a smaller blade.

Knifecenter still has the ZT 350 or 566 at great prices in stock. I think both are being discontinued (not positive on that tho).

For a less expensive option, the Ontario Rat 1 or 2 in D2 steel is a great option.

Everyone should own a Swiss Army Knife (SAK). You would have to sort thru the tools to see what you'd like. I like the Explorer myself.

Benchmade Nimravus

Something else by Hogue, to compliment your Ritter/Hogue RSK.

A Ka-Bar of some kind, to continue the stacked leather handle theme. Ontario makes some, too.

Kornalski is Polish, I think, so some other Polish, or at least Central Europe custom makers?

Looks like maybe you need a lightweight carry. BM Bugout with titanium scales may be in order.

Buck 110 or 119

A good small fixed blade such as a Mora, or a knife by maker Daado, or from the makers on the Exchange. Lastly a Buck Slim Pro 110 or 112. For a slip joint,I have been enjoying my Benchmade Proper, mine has the wharncliffe blade shape, it also comes in a clip point. I also have been enjoying my Manly Wasps in Sandvik. And to be completely out of ordinary, how about a chef knife for the kitchen?

I see a nice variety.

A small fixed blade could be nice in there.

A nice mid-sized fixed blade could be nice in the 4-5" blade range. A BK16 comes to mind, or maybe an esee 4.

Personally, I like to watch the knifemaker's market for fixed blades lately for many knives under 6". Busse makes some of the nicest bigger blades, like large choppers and bowies.

 

[Henry Beige]

How about a nice Kephart, like a Becker BK62, or something from a custom maker.

The next one you choose that is in your budget.
Add it to the family and post another family pic.

A good knife to add would be one you like.

We don't know what that is, or what you do with your knives, or what design features you like, etc etc etc.

Get what you use or like.

 

[marcinek]

Get an Opinel mushroom knife.

 

[marcinek]

Or one of these...

I feel like your missing a hatchet. That would round out your collection nicely.

Nice fixed blades. Nice folders.

Maybe a smaller fixed blade. White river backpacker? Tops msk? Cold steel mini tac?

To say nothing of a smatchet!!!

Sam Boswell , I'm not trying to bust your chops...the point is that there is no "your collection is incomplete without this" knife we can tell you about.

You collection is incomplete without whatever knife is catching your eye lately. If you are getting into Finnish puukkos or racheting Navajas or bollock daggers and want help picking one...we can do that.

But telling you what you want....we can't do that.

Or a machete! Or a parang!

 

[l1ranger]

buck 110 or somethign along those lines of a traditional folder
