Way to motivate Tobias...and I agree. So I became a Bowie Buddy....I just don't go around declaring that in public. Sort of looses something in translation outside of iKC.
Thanks for the rally talk. We needed that!
I like what you did here in naming the the fifty patterns within your collections. I need this kind of visual. So to remove a sense of semantics, I have created a hierarchy to help me make sure we don't double up on "patterns". This is for a visual assistance only, not intended for a debate:
Here is the Knives according to Lars Hierarchy:
Knife
Fixed Blade / Brand
Type of Fixed Blade - design intent (Combat, Hunting, Skinning, Butcher/Chef, Dagger, Bowie, etc) Broad categories
Sub-type of Fixed Blade - frame style (Mini, Extreme, Nessmuk, Sub-Hilt, etc.) Defined categories
Feature set (type of steel, type of handle material, blade type, features, etc.) Specific categories
Knife
Folder / Brand
Type of Folder - design intent (Multipurpose, fishing, hunting, etc.) Broad categories
Sub-type of Folder - frame style (Automatics, Barlow, Congress, Coke Bottle, etc.) Defined categories
Feature set (type of steel, type of handle material, blade type, number of blades, features, etc.) Specific categories
Under each of these we add Variations. Now we have taken your 50 patterns and tripled the amount of possibilities...if not more!

Okay, folks! This group has been dormant for too long! Lets help Ivars kick-start this group! Let's everybody take a few minutes and invite five or ten of our friends to this group. Most people either collect by pattern or brand. It's crazy that a group devoted to pattern collecting only has 30 members! I can think of at least 50 patterns within my collection alone! This group needs more members!
As for the fifty patterns:
- Automatics
- Balisong
- Barlow
- Bartender
- Bowie
- Camp
- Canoe
- Canittler
- Caping
- Cheetah
- Clasp knife
- Coke Bottle
- Congress
- Copperhead
- Cotton Samplers
- Doctor
- Douk Douk
- Easy Open
- Elephant Toenail
- Farrier
- Farmer’s Work Knife (Sodbusters)
- Fillet
- Fish Knife
- Folding Hunter
- Grafting
- Hawkbills
- Hobos
- Hunters
- Jack Knives
- Karambits
- Kukris
- Linesman
- Machete
- Marlin Spike
- Moose
- Mushroom
- Muskrats
- Navaja Cuchillo
- Out the Front
- Peanut
- Penknives
- Picnics
- Rope Knives

Well Ken, I did what I would do for anyone if I couldnt answer it. LOL, I asked! No record of when the first was produced but this G.SAVAGE & SONS is from around 1840 so we at least know the pattern dates back that far
