Whose traditional collection do you admire?

[RustyRick]

When I scroll through the forums I find myself time and again liking the same members posts with pics of knives the most often.

I find myself drawn to and liking the knives posted by

Rufus1949

the most. For the sheer wow factor. The beautiful wood handles. The custom knives...just fabulous.

But I also find myself drawn to the uniqueness of the collection by

Corto_Malt

Quite spectacular as well. Though there are many other...I'll keep it brief. Bravo folks. Very nice indeed.


Hopefully a fun little post not violating anything. Who's collection (or maker or even a specific knife) do YOU find yourself drawn to the most? Or if you prefer which traditional knife makers or even a specific knife?

Augie has the most amazing collection of oldies that I seem to gravitate towards.

I Invoice shares my enjoyment of large stockmen and gunstocks, so I always look forward to his posts.

Rufus1949 does have a fabulous collection of custom lambsfoot knives, any of which would be a grail for me.

Jeff I was just about to mention your collection.
But there are way too many to mention.
Chief, Primble, Duncan, Will, Charlie...are just a tiny few. I'm a techno nitwit so no links this early in the morning.

I don’t know that I’d even want a collection like Pàdruig ‘s but it is stellar. I’d feel like I should take out an insurance policy if I had it.

He has pretty good taste in whiskey too .

A fools errand, Rick! There's just too many incredible collections, hoards, deposits, seams, and accumulations here to ever hope to pick!

Just off the top of my head, I'll second Rufus1949 and Corto_Malt and mention that I'm generally blown away by posts from Heynowwww , Hyesouljah , TheFactor , Ellis Wyatt , Primble and too many others to name!

I hear waynorth has a few tucked away too!!

yes. I've been known to be a fool "once in a while". I'm already spending a lot of time scrolling through and appreciating the posts of the nominated(?). Lots of good stuff for sure.

Haha ... is This kinda invasive?

Idk if I want to name anyone, but many people on BF have had some Wonderful knives go through there hands.....I've been honored to work for many of them .... Thanks.

 

[afishhunter]

Everyone's.
Especially the in great shape vintage ones, and the burl handled with lots of critters hiding in the grain.

 

[birdsbeaks]

If I catch any of you in my knife chest fondling the goods, I'm calling that invasive!

As long as you're just looking at the pictures I post on a public forum, I'm gonna call that "non-invasive admiration from afar."

But if any of the folks I named don't like it, removal is just a request away!

Personally I have always been an outspoken fan of the acorn shield 440C GEC knives. Owned several, but made the mistake of letting a few go over the years so I only have 3.

black mamba and Chief especially have recently reignited my love of those knives as I have been seeing more and more of the fantastic collections they both have, not to even mention the other awesome knives in their collections.

And of course Primble has managed to never stop getting me with the great photography work across several threads. I wasn’t as interested in vintage traditionals, but in recent years I find myself looking for them more and more often.

I am sure my wife would have different opinions, but I am very thankful to them and others for bringing back my interest in them.

Very kind of you to say. I appreciate all knives, but am drawn to wood scales the most
, age not a factor.

 

[Rufus1949]

I am in admiration of any person who posts and carries his/ her knives. Many post their favorite, which allows others to experience great craftsmen.
There are gentleman/ladies who have a deep knowledge of knives, designs and makers that should be acknowledged.

I hope that does not detract from the intent of this thread.

 

[mrknife]

knowtracks has some cool stuff! Not only does he have a complete tc barlows set but cool schatt and morgans. The nice part is his was accumulated as they were dropped fairly.

 

[Old Engineer]

Primble , paulhilborn , waynorth , Chief , Campbellclanman , Pàdruig , knowtracks , btb01 and Many others that I can't remember their Handles for .

[knowtracks]

Interesting question... I honestly can't say, I'm always scrolling around admiring all the details & specific differences with what everyone is posting.
I'm personally an accumulator/user, I don't have any specific type of collection in mind. I just try to pick up interesting patterns that catch my eye.
I really just enjoy everyone who posts up what they have. It's nice to see all the different models & history behind everything, new & old. Not to mention the what & why everyone is carrying what they do.
Some of the personal stories are the most interesting to read about & add to the fun of it

 

[majorpain1]

I always ooh and ah over Primble's photos. A fan of Black Mamba too. There are many others too numerous to list here.

 

[euroken]

Oh my…admiration AND envy!!!! Too many to list and appreciate everyone who posts their collection and keeping me hooked on this hobby!

Thanks for the mention Jeff, you have quite the collection your self.
