whats missing?

I like variety in my collection, so if that were mine, I would add:
  • A pliers-based multi tool
  • A smallish fixed blade
  • A SAK with scissors, toothpick and tweezers (Executive? Classic on the keys?)
  • A balisong. If you think folders are fun to play with, wait'll you try a balisong! Get a cheap one and blunt it for practice, then add a decent one later
  • A hatchet

I probably should have been more clear.
Just looking for folders.
Although what you said makes sense.
I’ve got a skeletool and a wave. Maybe a squirt too.
Carothers edc2.
Couple little saks.
Hatchets and axes-check.

Balis and otf are illegal here in Canada, or I’d have one of each.
 
The Lionsteel’s are great, especially when you consider the price and materials. My Dom is sitting in my watch pocket right now. Their M390 seems like it has a bomb heat treatment too. I haven’t felt the need to sharpen my Dom since I’ve gotten it, and I’ve used it for a lot of cardboard. I love both of mine, the aforementioned Dom and a Shuffler.

Great knives you have there. I have a couple of inexpensive suggestions:
  1. Get a new scale to pretty up that Southard
  2. For actual users, IMO it's hard to beat a Cold Steel Tuff Lite (the only downside is it could make you forget about your Dragonfly knives altogether--it banished mine to a drawer somewhere)
I may be biased on the Southard scale thing though. You can do so many different things with it . . .

Now you’re talking.
That looks really nice.
 
An awesome sodbuster type knife is the GEC #71 Bullnose. I also second the mini crooked river. It's my favorite knife I own.

Man, those southards look awesome.
Its a good idea. I’ve looked into it already. I think cuscadi will make a micarta or lscf scale for it.
The brown certainly isn’t doing it any favors.
I think if I could get a g10 scale in a nice green or orange I may go that route.

I love my dragonfly2’s. Top 3 all time favorite. Hard to believe another small knife could take its crown but I’ll definitely look into it.
Size wise, they’re about the same?

I do like the lines on the 452. It’s a beauty. I have a lot in the general size already tho.
I have a mini Ritter in m390, so I’m prob not gonna add another grip.
I did have a g10 20cv mini for a while. It was really nice.

As stupid as it sounds I just don’t like the writing on the blade of those bullnose. It’s not a deal breaker tho.
Are all crooked rivers s30v?
I think they are.
 
Get either Umnumzaan or Hinderer for heavy duty tasks.

Lionsteel was my first thought. Pick your blade style.
Be careful around the GB2. It has kicked the GB1 out of the rotation for me.
Blasphemy I know, but it happened.

I usually go fixed blade for anything heavy duty.
I’ve drooled over the tanto zaan for years. I’m just not gonna spend $500 for something my gb1 ( formerly your gb1) can deal with.
I almost bought a xm24 a few years ago. I didn’t and that pretty much ended my interest in hinderer until recently.
If I saw a user xm18 3.0 slicer ( skinny if that exists) for a decent price, I’d jump on that.

I just looked, I can’t find those lionsteel for sale in Canada. I’m twitchy about shipping knives in with our gung ho border agents. Although that lionsteel would baron be ok.
