Ok, you asked for it... this is the pile of knives on top of my dresser... my wife hasn't said anything.........yet.

That's not a pile, it's mountain

This is a special pile of knives to me. It was a little project that I'd been working on for a while now. I wanted to collect some medium frame case knives with multiple blades and serpentine patterns to serve as carries for work. There was a catch though, each one had to be different and each one had to cost me less than $35 shipped. I spent a lot of time following knives on The Bay only to see them sell for more than my limit, but it was also a lot of fun and I enjoyed the hunt. I ended up with two Jacks, two trappers, and two stockmans, each one of them different than the other. Here's my little pile...

Medium Stockman with round bolsters and spey
Medium Stockman with square bolsters and pen
Mini Trapper with spey secondary
Mini trapper with Wharncliffe secondary
Dogleg jack with round end cap
Texas Jack with square end cap

All similar and yet all different

Nice variety.

Nice variety.

Thanks, Vince. It was a fun project and literally took me months to complete.

That is a fun project. My daughter and I are going to the local Gun Show Saturday to see what knives we can find. We've both found stuff we like there before at decent prices.

Bargain hunting brings new frustration and fun to the hobby. Good luck to both of you.

This is what I have on my nightstand right now. Carried the 6375 today, it's been a while.

The pile at the moment. Will carry a couple of these tomorrow.

You and I definitely agree on desirable cutlery.

Think I'll go with the trapper on the belt and the lambsfoot in the pocket.

Can't go wrong with that choice.

Happy hunting to both of you.

Today's Pile....is one of recent additions: four of them presents, one on loan, one re-handled and one bought by me. Only one double bolster (rather difficult to have a Barehead EE)

Was fiddling around with this pile this evening, and thought I'd pause for a family photo

Nice pile, especially those Lambs.

Congratulations!

In a week or so I should finally have in my sweaty palms a knife that will complete a collection I’ve been working on for *years*. It should have been done a long time ago, but the final piece kept slipping through my fingers.

Once it’s done I’ll post a photo of what will probably be the most boring “pile” to appear in this thread...and even those who don’t find it boring will have to concede that it is certainly the pile with the least variety.
