Any knife collectors ?
- Thread starter Daniel
- Start date
Here are some local makers I support (just a disclaimer , I am by no means affiliated with any of these makers , I just love their work and my passion for knives compels me to share this with the world 
)
Jason Guthrie http://instagram.com/jg_custom - new maker , his Ranger range has reached almost a 100 orders so his books are almost full I was lucky enough to be part of the Ranger's inception with some QC and ideas around form , also own #2 first ever proto in the 'wild' so to speak , he has refined these knives to perfection.
Clyde Channelor http://instagram.com/clydechallenor - also fairly new maker , his MKII IMO is the best EDC I hav owned to date , simply amazing little knife.
Andre Villiers http://instagram.com/advtactical - kind of stumbled across him , saw his work on an US blade forum and HEY he is a local maker , ok he does not cater for the local market that much but if you looking for an awesome overbuilt TANK this is the guy
Last but not least Gareth Bull http://instagram.com/garethbullknives - good friend and one of the best SA makers I know , my Shamwari should arrive end of Nov so stoked , this will probably become my sole EDC if I decide to sell all my knives (to buy vape gear probably LOL).

oh dear, why did i see this thread. internet causes knife buying! you see, you want! ...What to do. :-/ i have stayed away from the knife forum for years.
hey, i don't have decent photos,but i have a couple of good knives i will probably get to selling...sometime, before i eventually move. A small Kiku Matsuda, genuine Japanese...traditional Japanese maker...a nice Spyderco Fred Perrin, fixed blade. And the awesome ZT0300.
Also, my favourite, a Spyderco Rescue Clipit, and a Sod Buster.
And a PJ Tomes hunter, neat little knife, by an old-school American knifemaker.
The Kiku knife i have is very similar to this...

Leaving Russia tomorrow! Bazinga!
Ive always wanted an acid edged Damascus camping knife. But its way out of my price range
I'm not a fan of Damascus and those other fancy metals... and they cost a fortune... nothing beats shiny steel for me!
My brother started making knives. I don't have pictures yet. The ones I've seen are a bit wonky still, but he's just starting now and teaching himself. Will post pics when he has the courage to send me some...lol
So I decided to take a pic of some of my collection.... as it has been said before, "knife collecting is an endless pit.."
My Biltong knife!
Nice matchy matchy going on there!
I read "Any wife collectors" and went: "I know a few guys like that. My brother is one of them". He's married for the third time now. Only then did I realize it's "knife" and not "wife" lol
Brave man your brother!
It seems there's a fine line between brave and stupid...
Truth like this is seldom spoken!
Anyone from this thread still on here? 
I'm a custom maker and have been a collector since childhood. Didn't see this thread before. Keen to restart the conversations

Not a collector @Dullz_vap3
But a great knife is always good to have!
Keen to hear and see if anyone else responds.

It would be great if you posted the pictures here rather than a link to a page you have to be a member of to see the pictures.One of my other hobbies (and an endless pit) is knives , specifically custom local knives
Started on the productions like Spyderco , Benchmade , CRKT but it is all relative as with vaping mods as well it seems LOL
Below is a pic of my modest collection (starting from left) :
Top : Benchmade 940 & BM 710 (the classic)
Middle : Spyderco Military S90V CF (keeper) , Spyderco PM2 with custom scales , Spyderco Delica , JD Ellis Slipjoint wharncliff , Spyderco Atlantic Salt (great for fishing trips the H1 steel does not rust) , Spyderco Sage 1 CF , Jason Guthrie #2 prototype Ranger
Bottom : CRKT Hi-Jinx (Ken Onion design , CRKT's first attempt at a more higher end mid-tech) , Three Sisters Forge Beast (my hard use little beast).
