Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

How many different Manufacturers are in your collection? (A "Bragging" discussion)

We are all proud of our "little" hobby(obsession). So who do turn to when we brag about our knives, other than those who like to brag about their knives also. Pride may be a sin, but when you have knives as nice as we do you got to share the beauty with everybody.

As I started this discussion, I had not a definite answer to my number. But off the top of my head:

Al Mar

Benchmade

Boker

Buck

Camillus

Case

Cattaraugus

Colonial

Corneta

CRKT

Dakota

Fury

GEC (Northfield)

Hen & Rooster

Imperial

John Primble

Kabar

KAI (Kershaw & ZT)

Keen Kutter

Lone Wolf

Mantis

Mission Knives

Mora

Old Cutler

Protech

Queen (S&M)

Robeson

Rough Rider

Schrade (USA)

SOG

Steel Warrior

Spyderco

United Cutlery (Hibben3)

Victorinox

Wenger

Western

Winchester

Am sure there is 1 or 2 others, but I can't think of them now. I didn't list the Hardware Store knives, as they were Manufactured by one of the companies listed above.

Show your pride in your collection's diversity or lack thereof. This is just another step into learning more about each other.

Cheers,

Brad

Hmmm....methinks we need to combine this thread and http://www.iknifecollector.com/forum/topics/how-many-different-knif... into one, and figure out where it should live. Lol. Two of them may get a tad confusing!

No Dale, it is indeed the old Boker I think. This one is rather old and I had to go look. It doesnt say Boker on it anywhere but the tree is exact.
