Jeff, I just saw those whittlers.  You're making me think about collecting another pattern. It's go to be hard "Coping" with the additional anxiety!  (time to duck and cover!)

We've got six new members today.  Once we hit 60 new members, I'll rummage through my collection ans see what i can cough up for a prize.  Spread the word guys and gals, Spring is in the air and I want to give away another knife!

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!

1. Automatics
2. Balisong
3. Barlow
4. Bartender
5. Bowie
6. Camp
7. Canoe
8. Canittler
9. Caping
10. Cheetah
11. Clasp knife
12. Coke Bottle
13. Congress
14. Copperhead
15. Cotton Samplers
16. Doctor
17. Douk Douk
18. Easy Open
19. Elephant Toenail
20. Farrier
21. Farmer’s Work Knife (Sodbusters)
22. Fillet
23. Fish Knife
24. Folding Hunter
25. Grafting
26. Hawkbills
27. Hobos
28. Hunters
29. Jack Knives
30. Karambits
31. Kukris
32. Linesman
33. Machete

44. Stockmans
45. Sunfish
46. Toothpicks/Ticklers
47. Toothpicks –fixed blades
