This is indeed a hard question: My lists could change weekly almost daily. But we are showing our favorite knives - I like that.

This is a terribly tough question. I'm choosing to disregard the knife I made that I've been using for an EDC or any other knife I made just to make it a little easier on myself.

But here we go, not listed in particulair order of preference:

A Suchat Jangtanong one off:

My Queen Cutlery Gunstock with engraved bolsters:

My A.G. Russell frn One Hand Knife (which I'm going to have to replace....because somehow it disappeared out of my pocket when I was helping a friend pick up a couch that he'd bought.....and it makes me really sad because it was a gift from A.G. himself.

My very small feeling Tim Britton Medium Avatar in Goldlip pearl. This is the best picture I've been able to grab off it that really shows the colour of the pearl.

And for the last one it's going to have to be a draw between my A.G. Russell 2010 Texas Ranger Sunfish Lockback

Or my A.G. Russell One Hand Knife in stainless and Cowry-X

And that's folders (I'm cheating too ;-) )....my favourite fixed blades not made by me:

My Paul Happy Journeyman Smith test hunter in 5160 and Giraffe bone

(And that's the only picture I have of fixed blades in my collection...I should really rectify that sometime)

A knife made for me by Matthew Gleash in an Exchange. He got my second knife ever....let me assure you that I got the better end of the deal. It's a flat ground clippoint blade with coffin handle. O1 Steel and Koa wood from hawaii.

And a Khukuri from Nepal. I have one and my Dad has the exact same one. I got them both engraved with "like father like son" in Dutch.

Don't really have a lot of fixed blades in my collection that I didn't make myself to be honest.

Offcourse there's the first knife I ever made, and the first knife I ever forged both of which will never leave my collection. (Both of which are not very pretty blades but I carry and use them sometimes nonetheless)

With over 300 to choose from the list would change every day. But I'm going to give it a go:

Camillus Mk2 Fighting knife and my 108 mm CCM GAK - The Camillus was a Christmas gift from my father. The Gak was a knife I got as a trade while Serving in Germany.

Victorinox Economy Huntsman (A Christmas gift from my wife)

Victorinox Skipper (Birthday gift from my wife)

Myerchin P300 (Birthday gift from my daughter)

Fury Sailor's Tool (Birthday gift from my son)

Yeah, I know. I can't count either. But the first two are a package deal!

Steve, your A.G. Russell is a tank! It looks like it could handle just about anything you threw at it!

Alex, I agree with Ron, that Gunstock makes me drool also - a 1st class knife.

Tobias - That Mk2 means a lot to you and I can sure understand why. That knife is hard to beat. It was like a friend to me when I carried one. And then being from your Father makes it extra more special.
