My knife collecting started in 2010, just before Halloween. First knife I bought was a Kershaw Blackout. Then I got a Spyderco Persistence. With that I figured I had enough to get a Cold Steel Ti-Lite (due to it's blade shape and overall style). From there it's grown into a collection of approximately 20 knives. Here's what I got so far (from memory)

Kershaw Blackout
Spyderco Persistence
Cold Steel Ti-Lite
Limited Edition Benchmade Mini-Barrage
Spyderco Endura 4
Cold Steel GI Tanto x2
Cold Steel Leatherneck
Spyderco Native 3
Schrade Old Timer
Cold Steel Spartan
Cold Steel Kobun
Cold Steel Grivory Paradox
Cold Steel Secret Edge
Cold Steel Voyager Vaquero
Cold Steel Counterpoint II
SOG Flash 2 Tanto
SOG Salute (Lost)
Ka-Bar Becker Necker
Kershaw Brawler

That's all I can remember for now. I hope someone else out there has a common interest. Obviously my collection is a little favorited towards Cold Steel - but if your into knives you'll understand why.

 

I'm not only a knife collector but I have been making & selling custom knives for for many years. I have sold my knives from locally to internationally. One of my knives have gone to an internationally renown Sculpture of marble.
My collection is too large to list.
You have a nice start & some very good quality knives. Most of my collection is knives that are no longer made.
My every day carry is a Case Mini Copperlock carbon blade.
I build all my knives with 01 or 1095 tool steel. I have found few stainless knives that will give you the edge & cutting power of Carbon Steel. One exception is ATS 34. I carry as a tactical knife a Spyderco Military made out of ATS 34 they no longer make a Military out of ATS 34 & haven't for sometime. I also have a few Benchmade knives made of ATS 34

 

I dont collect, my brother sure does, so i buy him a knife every bday and xmas. I only buy Cold Steel and Kabar knives for him they are great! Last xmas i switched up a bit and got him cold steels "Brooklyn basher" polycarbonate baseball bat. Its bad@ss, definatley add one to your collection. Its unbreakable

I had a Kabar marine blade limited edition, i liked it alot. Man did that carbon steel every sink fast when i dropped it ice fishing. Busted a 100 dollar speaker for the magnet and fished for hours through the hole trying to get it back from 200ft of water with no luck, guess it didnt go straight down

 

Nothing organized enough to be called a collection, and I really have no idea how many I have scattered around the house. But here are a few that I really like (not counting the Kabar in each vehicle)

Mike Miller design, with Hamon line

Numbered, even


Boker pocket


Dan Fronefield, meteorite Sgian Dubh

One of a kind, we worked together for several months getting the detail figured out (well, "worked together" = sent email back and forth with me saying what I want and him saying it can't be done with those materials until he hit on a design I liked and was doable)
Three different types of meteorite (stoney and pallasite accents in Gibean bolster and endcap + Gibean blade)

The thing cost more than quite a few firearms I have. Cost more than my first two cars, but that's not saying much, my monthly phone bill is more than my first car

 

That meteorite Sgian Dubh is bad ***. I really need a better one than the cold steel one I got. Sadly most places where it calls for one with the outfit a real one isn't welcome.

 

Those are all some very nice knives. Real nice work & what I call a very nice start to a collection of very high end knives.

 

Oh and I missed the Cold Steel Pro-lite

 

I would have thought by your name you were a Leatherman collector! I have a few knives in my collection, but I'm more into collecting multi-tools, which is pretty close. My collection is small compared to the guys out there with what I'd call "true" collections.

 

I don't collect knives but I do have more than a few. Always looking for a better one for field dressing and skinning. My little, itty-bitty every day pocket knife is a red bone Case. Sharp as all get out and has kept its edge for about a year now. I have a twin for it plus one they call a tooth pick.

My hunting knives range from Kabar to Buck to Gerber. My skinning knives are Outdoor Edge and Gerbers. Looking at another Outdoor Edge.

Again, not a collector but I have more knives than most I figure. Oh, I didn't even mention the Rapala fillet knives. Do they count?

 

I have the Cold Steel "Braveheart" on the end table right beside me. Nice point and decent edge on the thing.

Untempered NiFe doesn't hold an edge, the meteorite one there doesn't even try. It had a flat edge about a MM thick so maybe you could get away with it in places a weapon wouldn't be appropriate. Bit pricey for that tho I get nervous and cinch my sock flash thing a bit too tight on that leg.

Another Boker, Argentinian I think. Not German anyway
