Thanks to everyone for showing us thier knives and participating. I have never seen some of these brand up close before so I am finding it VERY interesting
nice knives guys looks like me running out of room need to put them in bags and boxes now but i like seeing them out were you and every one can see them but the wife says it looks like clutter...what to do?
Here's the compromising part.Oh Yeah, my wife like pictures also.Kid in a candy store. he really wants the knives.Well, we have come to the end of our tour, folks.
Yeah I was wondering how she accomplished that LOL. My thought has always been just give him a room. Now I have a fishing room and a knife room but somehow it always ends up in the other rooms too. Reason, I never complain? My knives are always in the stuff laying around too :)

You know by Brother in law built another room on his house to store and show off his Lionel train collection! The house has an alarm system and then the room has a second alarm system as the collection is conservatively valued at 1/2 million dollars!
Craig, our mission is to go where not many would admit to going and find out all we can about some of the unknown or unspoken brands. This is a great forum to post some of the little known or spoken of knives or just boxes of knives.
I collect some small, somewhat obscure commercial knifemakers or with just a small number of models available…I only buy what I like of their line-ups and don’t care one way or the other if I do or don’t have the complete set.
It's great to say "I have the full collection of **Ek knives, -- all five models"!
Fox (Italy),-- A.G. Russell carries a lot of theirs and they make some of the Beretta knives and many others -- kinda like an Italian Camillus...They have thirty two blades I'm lusting for to add to the ten I already have.
**ESEE (Rat), -- Standard to strive for or the luxury version by
I have the complete collection of some of the above (**) but I have at least three of the other makers' knives in my possession and would like to finish the collection off (*), if I could but that’s at the back of the list of things to complete.
One I had come across awhile back that actually look like good knives from what I've read and saw online but have never seen one in person so therefore don't know first hand how they are.
It's nice to see a noted person put their name to something that isn't crap like the stuff that United makes with Gil Hibben, Jimmy Lile and of course the Rambo knives.
Stone River Trading -- I haven't gotten any of their ceramic knives but the maker is very highly regarded and another couple of names to the list of knives I don't own but would want to is Micro-Tech who make some lovely full auto knives, alas, that I can't own legally and Maserin who makes some great single, double and full knives.
There is a neat little company called Thinking Man Knives that has a two model product line (three if you count the Damascus version of one) of lovely handmade knives...I had a chance to use his Utviking as a caper last year and it has great ergonomics...Sweet little knife.
Mea Culpa, I forgot a number of makers so I’m just letting them at the bottom of the first posting, which I have to repost.
Mantis Knives – Have some radical stock removal that’s been getting both good and bad reviews…I’ve handled them at a number of shows and they appear well made and fitted but I don’t own one, YET…Their “MU” series is a hoot
Dark Operations – Is a company I’ve seen in advertisements and I have their catalogue but I’ve never handled; Hell, I’ve never even seen one in person or know of anyone who has even handled them, other then some middle of the road reviews in the trade mags…They’ve got some great features but I don’t know…I’ve never known of anyone to have used their optics either.
Eickhorn-Solingen (GER) – Great German company that I possess a few blades from and all are of excellent fit & finish, component quality and not overly priced…They have an extensive military presence and have some surprisingly good Damascus steel—I like their PRT series for EMT/LEO for EDC—see the PRT-lV and CSAR.
Surefire – the excellent maker of flashlights and suppressors also has a great line–up of knives…I just got one of their EW-06 models for Chanukah and I like the feel quite a bit.
Scorpion Knives (UK) – make lots of knives for the British SAS/SBS and UN SF and sell at very good prices to the public…The Geoff “Tank” Todd line is battle ready but I love the, Brent Beshara designed Besh Wedge blades—I have one of his own knives that I got from his table at a table here in Canada.
Sheffield Knives Co. (UK) – Is a quartet of English makers under one banner head that produces a wide assortment of different knives to very high standards…The make the Israeli as well as copies of the famous Fairburn/Sykes Commando Knives, British Military M.O.D. Survival and Aircrew knives and excellent Nautical knives.
**Fallkniven – The great Swedish knifemaker—supplies the blades for all Special Units (A1s) over and above the Mora knives that each conscript gets…F1 (Pilot’s) and S1 are things of beauty and for outdoor knives I love the Pro Hunters (PHK) and the Tre Kronor (TK)…They have recently issued some Woodsman/Puukko inspired models that I have ordered and awaiting to complete them—The Jarl (SK1), Juni (SK3) and the Krut (SK6) and will be ordering the Police Rescue (PRK) shortly to finish off the new models.
**Boye Boat Knives by David Boye – Bloody brilliant knives with cobalt coatings…Only has a fixed and a folder but each with two tip choices blunt/round or pointed…The model called Basic 3 for a fixed blade is a fabulous knife that I find just a little too small, handle wise, for my ham sized hands but my wife and daughters love it when rafting—the four we have are permanently attached to their PFDs…There is a pointed folder taped beneath the seats on all the canoes and dory and I’ve used the squared rigging knife for a bait knife for years…I went two (2) full guiding fishing seasons, using that blade daily and it still didn’t really need sharpening, just a touch up to a few of the serration at the front that got punished a lot more then the rest of the blade…I swear by these knives!
**Ocean Master –Another three model maker but of superb diving knives.
**Akona –has two dive models, the Talon AK9 in S/S and the Talon AK950 is in Titanium – really nice knife.
**Tabata USA –TUSA line has some standard looking but damn strong knives of good quality…I use the FK-940 red for kayak/canoe and FK-11 Imprex blunt for rafting.
Here is a Buffalo Horn Daniel Boone razor in a stag handle razor box. I don't know if the box was a misprint or not. I think this is made by Rite Edge and was made in Pakistan. It is a heavy knife and seems to be well made as as far as some of the knives I've seen from Pakistan. Some of the Pakistani built knives are really poorly made. This one is a nice tight build and all the pins are flush with the scales. This is above average for a $10.00 knife and it does really look good.
Here are a couple of old bayonets that don't belong to me. They are old. The stamp on one of them is 1907 and it looks like it was Remingtom. The other is stamped Wilkinson, but they look identical.

This one didn't fit in the box. Its a replica of medieval bastard sword.
Probably too big for the front pocket. Maybe its one of those back-pocket knives I'm always hearing about.

It's great to say "I have the full collection of **Ek knives, -- all five models"!
Some of the obscure makers are:
**Extrema Ratio (Italy),-- Bloody tanks
**Entrek, -- Just bloody lovely knives
*Al Mar -- his raptor and SERE series are classics that stood the test of time,
**Spartan, -- Major drool factor
*Mission, -- Major drool factor – Just a Titanium version thereof
Blackjack Knives Classics, -- Closest to the originals
Blackhawk -- Have some very fine blades for the price see Tatang
Katz (GER) -- SIG/Sauer – I’d buy them in an instant but they aren’t my first brand choice
**Dustar (Israel), -- damn strong stuff, IDF SF issue
Dartmoor (UK),--
Fox (Italy),-- A.G. Russell carries a lot of theirs and they make some of the Beretta knives and many others -- kinda like an Italian Camillus...They have thirty two blades I'm lusting for to add to the ten I already have.
**ESEE (Rat), -- Standard to strive for or the luxury version by
DPx Hex Gear of the above
BK&T Ethan Becker, -- Designer and builder now made by Ka-Bar
Emerson, -- Folders
Strider, -- Some past controversy but great knives
Kershaw (Kai) Zero Tolerance -- designed in part by the above.
Paul/Harsey Lone Wolf -- No longer operating together as the name was bought out by Benchmade--NOW highly collectible
Gatco - Timberline has a small but quite good line of knives and hatchets--The Zambezi folder is a strong favourite of mine.
*Chris Reeve -- Hollow handle past master
Blind Horse and of course the great and copied by many
*Knives of Alaska
I have the complete collection of some of the above (**) but I have at least three of the other makers' knives in my possession and would like to finish the collection off (*), if I could but that’s at the back of the list of things to complete.

Rogue Warrior brand--yeah that guy, the infamous SEAL Marchinko
It's nice to see a noted person put their name to something that isn't crap like the stuff that United makes with Gil Hibben, Jimmy Lile and of course the Rambo knives.
Habilis Bushtools -- check out their concept tools
Stone River Trading -- I haven't gotten any of their ceramic knives but the maker is very highly regarded and another couple of names to the list of knives I don't own but would want to is Micro-Tech who make some lovely full auto knives, alas, that I can't own legally and Maserin who makes some great single, double and full knives.
