The camo one on the far left I just retired last year after 10 years of faithful service. The one on the right is my current EDC knife. Shes been good for me so far.

Can't see the pic very well on my phone. Is that camo one Benchmade or something?

No it was a cheap knock-off that I got for a birthday present when my parents thought I would be irresponsible with anything other than a butter knife It held up surprisingly well over 10 years ...though the metal belt clip fell off almost immediately. And I had to replace the screw at the bottom.
Though to be honest I think being able to see all the mechanics (very simple ones at that) is how I got her to last so long. The heavy metal work helped too I'm sure since I dropped and threw the thing more than a few times. Definitely had more weight to it than most other folding knives I've handled. But now she and my Benchmade butterfly knife that predates her by a good 5-7 years are safely kept in a drawer with the memories now.

I will try to remember to post a picture of it but I was scowering the back yard during spring clean up and found an M-Tech with a fire department emblem on it. Says it's made of 440 steel. The handle looks to have been used as a hammer more than the blade to have been used as a blade. If I can clean a few small rust spots off the blade I think I would be very interested in trying to put the blade in a new handle. The lock only works like 10% of the time.
The model appears much older than anything else I've found online so it is an interesting novelty if nothing else.

I'm still carrying either a cheap Leatherman or a SOG Trident. It's a little overkill for an EDC type knife but whatever.

Ulu (woman's knife) with ivory polar bear handle

I've been carrying this around everyday for about a year now. We're starting to like each other.

Old hickory hunting knives.

Gerber Paraframe. Walmart, $19. Best knife I've found around here.

I really....really, want a nice set of throwers. I'd have two buy two sets though, one for banging up and one for never touching. One day..

I never owned Sypderco but I've heard a lot of good things about them. Nice knife!
Here is one of my favorites:

This knife is real nice for hiking and camping. Its been my new favorite outdoors knife. I used to use the RAT-1 folder for that but this Buck is better. It is made in USA. Full tang. Thick mycarta handle plates. Nice sheath. It feels solid and well balanced. I think its real good.

I had spyder co butterfly. It was heavy as all hell but the blade would cut bricks. Their blades were gold.

Imagine that, it got stolen from me. Shocking. All my good shit gets stolen. But it would cut a fuckin telephone pole.
Fuckin thieves man... pisses me off.
My next, aside from the throwers is, Id like to ger a benchmade..
 If you've ever held one, they are balanced like god intended. Pure beauty.... they're about $220 though so...maybe one day.
But they are as good as it gets. Sexy, as fuck.. I'd like to get one double edged, but they frown even more on those...

This is my hunting knife. It slices flesh like butter.

My dad gave it to me. The antler handle is from the first buck he took when he was a kid..

My edc is either the Opinel 9 or the Cold Steel Kudu. Theyre super cheap beater knives but have really good quality steel and handfeel. Theyre also ultra lightweight. You can barely feel the weight in your pocket. Of course my mushroom knives get used like crazy. My favorite camp knife is the Cold Steel Canadian Belt Knife. I really like how the blade can do all sorts of stuff; gutting, skinning, chopping onions etc. If I ever ball out on a real quality knife itll be that design for sure. I havent got to use my Oyster Opinel yet. Waiting for someone to take me oystering (if this resonates with anyone you let me know). The top right side are folders that I like, but the handles are a bit small. The box cutter used to get a lot of work because it was my work knife when I was a baker. The RATII I just picked up because Ive heard good things about, it actually has good handfeel for such a tiny handle so Im digging it. The left side has all my fixed blades. Theyre all super solid, each has a different function where it shines whereas the Canadian just does all that stuff better (except maybe shaving kindling). Up top are my novelty knives. One is from Yellowstone, one is like a cheapo Ebay knife with 'survival' stuff in the handle. That one lives in the glove compartment in case im stranded or whatever.
