Yep you pretty much nailed a lot of the brands I have in my collection.
Those are some good looking knives as well.

Those Look very familiar to the Kutmaster Muskrat skinning knife I had when I was a kid....
Not implying anything here.... I just thought it was interesting.

I am familiar with the Kutmaster name. I tried very hard to emulate the look of vintage made pocket knives so your comment is a compliment !
I must have close to 100 scattered around the house And lots of fixed blades. I see a couple of Microtechs in your drawer. Mine is a different color. I picked up a Kershaw Launch 11 auto last week. It’s at the bottom of the photo. Microtech OTF is above it and then 3 Ganzo knives which are really well made and really cheap. I am amazed at the quality for the price. The top one is an auto and is more expensive. The other two Ganzo’s are in the $20-$30 range. They are great EDC knives that you don’t have to worry about losing.

Knives have never been a huge draw for me, but I have won a few over the years in various contests.
Trying to remember where they are, I realized virtually all of them are in stranded/survival/bugout packs in vehicles, both here & up at my place in the high country.
I have had 2 or 3 of the Shrade Oldtimer Sharp Fingers, decent knife for skinning.
I have a scaled down version of a Fairbankes/Sykes style dagger with survival gear in the handle.
I have a couple US Air Force survival knives floating around, actually pretty decent for survival bushcraft.
Trail riding near my cabin, I found a 6" Buck knife & sheath, had it for years until a buddy offered me $75 for it.
Only these 3 were handy for pics.
Combat machete was a recommendation of a Marine Recon buddy, chinese made, but he claimed it was a good compromise between price & quality. I guess I'll find that out if there is ever a zombie apocalypse.
It's pretty sharp for a machete.

Those are really interesting. The top one looks like it would fit my hand. Having so many options, I tend to like the ones that fit me n my hand the best.

Those are stunning!Whoa @airbiscuit, that has to be the nicest $25 collection of knives I've ever seen!
Here are a couple of custom D Smith knives that I won at a Pheasants Forever blind auction. The top one has a mammoth tusk handle, and the bottom one has a mammoth tooth handle. The colors in the tooth come from the tooth being exposed to minerals as it sits at the bottom of a river or lake.
I contacted Mr. Smith to ask about the handles, and he told me that they come with a 10,000 year warranty that expired 6,000 years ago.

AH HA! That's where i know your name. I frequent ACK way too often.
Found this forum right after jerzeedevil shut down. Ron was a good dude.
Beware the Indian with one arrow (or the Speed25 with one knife
)Sadly, I don’t know all the models. I’ll check when I get home.

I was most active on Bladeforums and did not spend time or know Ron. Always hard when a community shuts down.
Here is one you might recognized. I built this horseman pattern based on a 3 5/8" Geo. wolstenholm.
Entered it in the 2012 Blade Show judging. Fun build as I made a desktop display for it.
