I have similar threads on other forums for my flashlight and RC car collections, so I thought, why not round up all the knives I’ve bought in the past decade and a half, and make a collection thread for them too?

Roughly in order from top-left to bottom-right:
– A kirpan I inherited from my grandfather, who was stationed in Calcutta in WW2
– Boker damascus-steel letter opener
– Boker Top Lock 2 automatic
– Boker ceramic lockback knife
– Kershaw Cryo tanto, designed by Rick Hinderer
– Boker Subclaw
– 2″ ceramic liner-lock w/ carbon-fiber scales
– 3″ ceramic liner-lock w/ carbon-fiber scales
– Magnum button-lock knife (I jokingly call it “Baby’s First Folder” because of the pudgy shape)
– Boker Subcom Ti
– Boker Pry-Mate
– Boker Pry-Mini
– Magnum “Firefly” keychain knife w/ LED light
– Boker Annual Damascus 2016 (Boy Scout knife w/ damascus blade and African Blackwood scales)
– Boker Boy Scout lockback knife w/ C-Tek scales (my current EDC knife)
– Magnum Lil Friend Micro (I jokingly call it “Baby’s First Fixed-Blade” because it’s uselessly small)
– Magnum Lil Friend
– SS Empress Of England souvenir pocket knife, inherited from my grandfather
– Victorinox Pocket Pal
– Kershaw Chive (my EDC knife for ~8 years)
– Magnum Tornado dagger
– Victorinox MidNite MiniChamp
– Victorinox Swisstool X
– Gerber Legend 800 (early run, before they got cheap)
– Wenger EvoGrip S557
– Leatherman Charge TTi, modded with two damascus steel blades by Texas Tool Crafters

Some of these I got purely for novelty value, but most of them I actually use from time to time. Calling it my “armory” is a misnomer — the vast majority of these knives are tools, not weapons — but it sounded cool.
