Let's see your good old basic fixed blades, Bowie's, Stickers, etc.

Nice. What is the handle material on the Bark River?
 
It's a moot point now, because the yard waste truck has gone by for the last time this year, but my biggest machetes aren't sharpened.

The Collins Legitimus was probably brought home as a souvenir, because it was rusted into its sheath and it still has what Baryonyx calls the "courtesy edge" from the factory. I was going to leave that unsharpened and keep it as a precious relic. Nah.
Except I'd hate to lose the paper label.
I got the Corona for $8 at the Salamanca antique mall, and just haven't gotten around to sharpening it.

22" and 24" blades.
The black OKC sheath was extra.
OKC has a new website, which doesn't go out of its way to mention that the factory was sold out and closed and they're now an importer's brand.

I got one of those Mexican sheathes in a 5", for my favorite Utica Sportsman type. I think it is a Utica, because the jigging is identical to one one I have that's marked "Utica Sportsman", but it's heavier stock and has the swedge.

Maybe I'll get another one for this Kutmaster, which I like for its flat grind and bone handle.
["Maybe"- who was I kidding.]
