Here's most of my fixed blades and choppers. Danged if I'm going after all the folders, though:p

First, the big 'uns:D

Next, Busse and Kin knives

Then, my larger fixed blades (with no rhyme or reason to order)

Smaller fixed blade (With a Busse Game Warden that I missed)

And the last two are my safe queens. The knife on the left a friend brought back from her mission in Africa. It's (supposedly) made by a member of the Messai (sp?) tribe (the guys who kill lions with spears and such). The knife shaped object a friend brought back from her trip to Egypt. It's solid Ivory, and way, way cool (not bad for the $20 I gave her to pick me up something;))

Walter, how has the Marbles doublebitted hatchet worked out for you? I read a couple of bad reviews here so I never picked one up. How has your's been?
 
I like the feel of it, but I haven't actually put it to any hard work. It's the Made In China version, and was supposed to have a 420 SS head, but it seems to rust pretty easily. I figure it was worth the $20 just to see if I would use it. I really want to like it, but that "Rambo IV" inspired Siegle is so stinking sweet that I haven't put anything else to use getting firewood.
 
great looking collections guys...:eek:

my pics coming soon.... i have been gathering blades from all over the place...:D
 
Its about time for a thread such as this, there are alot of new people in here, so the last time we did one of these..I beleive it was a while ago. These are always my favorite, you really get a feel for what other members are using out on there adventures. Gene
 
Walter - I see you couldn't resist the temptation of that tech. bowie after all, you really needed this thread.............Group hug........:D :D :D

RR - that Izula needs a little love'n!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two reviews over in the axe/hatchet subsection has the head flying off early in light use. Like the day they got them. I really don't want a pound and a half double edged hunk of metal flying anywhere near my body, so I've passed on it. I really wish that there was somewhere I could get something like this short of custom makers. I love the style.
 
Heres mine. Not alot of nice stuff in there like most of you guys though:o

There is a 3' carbon mora MIA, but I think thats pretty much all of them.

Ooops And theres a frontier hawk running amuk somwheres...

don't look at it that way. your collection would be invalueable if the econey colasped and pepole where no longer able to get knives that makes them all good as gold.... down to my pretty little mora's..........if you have used them and trust them how can you put a price tag on trust?? just my 2 bits though.
most important is ya have them and know how to use them. a 150$ knife is no good if ya can't use it. one of the other forum mites sig line says it best.
"you don't know the value of a knife unless you use it"

Yeah, I actually went ahead and bought the Super Bowie and then traded into the Tech Bowie:D I don't know which one I like better, so they're both going to see some use:thumbup: The Super Bowie is heavier than I expected, so it feels heavy, until I pick up a Busse of the same length, then it feels lighter;)

cmdionne, I'd heard that about the Marbles, but both of mine feel pretty secure. I don't think I like the '3 interlocked holes' head, though. Sure seems like a PITA if you need to make a handle out in the woods:thumbdn:
 
well here's my humble contribution....:D i have really gotten rid of/traded quite a few over the past year or two...


first some neckers, EDC, pocket fixed blades...

Nice collection Mike - they all look like keepers :D :D

Is that big fixed blade in the centre of shot 2 a Gossman or JK? I figured its a Gossman but the blade shape looks JK'ish.....
