The crkt I posted was my mist recent knife purchase in God knows when. Back in the day, I was a gerber-man. For the longest time, I'd been carrying a benchmade (Purdue..). It's since been retired for the crkt.

I have watched this thread long enough in silence. It's time to enter the game room, we call the Armory. Yes, that is one of @Psypher1000 's chips on the door. Apparently - many years ago - we frequented the same game store. Since games, knives, swords and poker chips share the same room, the name was obvious to me.

And now I finally have a somewhat justifiable reason to buy that warhammer at the ren fair next year!!!

Shun Classic 8" Chef's. The most expensive knife I own by a good margin, but definitely worth it.
My memory was that my West Marine rigging knife for sailing was only $10-$15. The current price is $27. I'd feel a little bad at that price if I dropped it in the lake. I'm confident it can cut through any line on my boat if I was in a bad situation.
My EDC knife. The ergonomics are pretty terrible, but I haven't found anything that takes up less room in my pocket while including a screwdriver. The bottle open is worthless though.

I'm not a knife guy except to say that I grew up in a time when carrying a knife was just something men did. It seems increasingly rare these days so I'm glad to see this thread 
I recently lost my larger security EDC but I can show my pocket knives.
First is a Buck that is a little too large for comfortable pocket carry so I don't often have it on me.
The other is a Case and is a perfect size for me. I carry and use it daily.
Since you mentioned "safe queen" I went and dug this one up. I haven't looked at it in 20 years and it is in bad shape! I got it in the 80's as payment from my buddy. He'd met and slept with a woman for a one night stand. He didn't want her at his place after the deed so he gave me this knife to drive her home. She wasn't thrilled with him either and probably would have paid me a sword to get away from him
Says it is a Trail Master made in Ventura California.

Atomic's EDC key knife reminded me of my most used knife, the Victorinox "Super Tinker".
My parents bought it for me when I was young. In my 'teens young, so it's around 35 years old now. It's had more stories than I can remember, and had taken a shit-ton of beatings over that time, but it is still sharp and worth more to me than it's $32 price tag. If I'm buried with this, then I think even death will be a jam I can get out of.
Oh, and it has gotten me out of a lot of jams. I'll leave the details up to your imagination.
Yeah, that's it's "good" side...

I tried. Any imbecile that is talking about the possible "apocalypse" in the first 30 seconds of a review is talking to someone with way fewer brain cells than I can deal with.
Prepare for an actual future, not some tin-foil hat, worst-case scenario future.

I have a neighbor that I swear is looking up how to bury a shipping container in his back yard, then turn it into a doomsday prepping bunker... I’m sure it’s against the covenants. Lol

If it could double as a tornado shelter, then I find that to be a little less crazy - provided you live in an area that is subject to tornadoes.
I'm all for preparing for worst-case scenarios. I'm all for collecting items you can use. I even like collecting things because they look nice. But when you suggest you "need" a gun for the apocalypse, your cheese has slipped off its cracker.
I do own D'k tagh knife, because it looked cool to me, not because I might have to do battle with a Klingon.
Of course, that is because I would use a Bat'leth to battle a Klingon warrior.

I figure there is a picture of Trihonda in the Spyderco lobby, right next to this guy
Past years pockets knives:
The Buck was the first I noticed was assembled with Torx screws. Not a fan.

Lol, I am a rookie collector. There are 100’s of models, and an entire forum dedicated to their collection, study, etc... crazy.
I actually had a good number more Spyderco knives, but traded them off for chips...
This is all I have left

I love spyderco knives, I do not have any at the moment but I have a great story about a mini serrated blade I had in 98 that saved my truck...
I have ALL kind of knives at the moment, Ill try to post up, they were all given to me by my kids (wife) over the years so nothing special any more. I moved around alot and misplaced some of my really nice ones and never replaced them.
I LOVE KNIVES....
Great collections everyone..

For 17 years at my current IT job, I’ve had 3 of these in Red, Smoke, and Blue (current) on my hip at all times during the workday, and it is a lifesaver for computer needs as well as cutting things....... it’s the Victorinox Tech Tool Swiss Army knife, the key points are the flip out screwdriver tool with hex and philips bits, pliers for tight spaces (like pulling jumpers on hard drives), and the scissors for cutting cables.

Since the Klingon knife was designed by knife-maker Gil Hibben, I'll segue into my first Hibben knife. The sheath was hand signed on the back by Mr. Hibben.
The store I bought it at had a "balloon" sale going on at the time. The floor behind the register was covered in inflated balloons. when you made a purchase, you could select a balloon and pop it, and a discount (5%-95%) was inside.
I binked the 95% discount.

One of my favorite EDC's is the Kershaw Half Ton (web photo, not mine). Cheap at under $20, reliable, and does its job.

For those old-timers who know, my uncle was Master blade smith Ralph Bone (Lubbock TX). Although I could never afford to buy one of his knives, I did receive this for my 14th birthday. Truly a sweet hunting/fishing blade. The bone handle is hand carved for my hand from a wax impression.

Yet another Hibben knife. This design has popped up in several movies, all which kinda sucked. Blame it on the acting, because this knife is awesome.
