That’s funny, I’ve been thinking of posting a pic of mine for over a year now, just as it is in all it’s glory. I’m sure it would make some of you sick! They’re all stacked up on each other, thrown straight from my pocket onto the pile, usually with 3 carry pistols sitting on top of them!

They’re in a high boy dresser, it’s taller than me, I just reach in above my head blindly, grab a knife and a pistol, and that’s my carry for the day! Very weird, I’m extremely OCD about a lot of things, just not that? I’ll get a pic later for this thread.

[JonLeBlanc]

Vivi, did you not have a Police 4 G-10? Or did you have one but get rid of it? As I recall, yourself, Cambertree and Meat Man were big boosters of that model, and probably were responsible for a good many sales (myself accounting for one).

You mean like this? :cool:


I subscribe to the "Where's Waldo?" organizational method. No carry pistols in there though, now that I have small kids, those live in the bedside safe.

[TkoK83Spy]

I'm too OCD for a drawer, I even alternate between dlc and satin :p

I like to be able to see them out together and then debate from there which to carry. It's getting tougher and tougher as I've really turned the collection into a bunch of knives that really suit me one way or another.

Exactly like that!

That's exactly how I organized mine for the longest time. The biggest problem was that I had no idea which were actually in the drawer, and which ones and how many were out and about somewhere. A great way to thin out the collection maybe, but after a few panic searches I wanted something better. A pluck foam case picked up on a sale is my current version of improvement.

Picture will be provided... just have to catch some out and abouts, and arrange the thing.

[Evil D]

No drawer for me, I have this old cedar chest that I keep them all in, in their boxes. I suck at rotating so it works well for me. It's getting a little crowded though.

I still have G10 scales and a vg10 blade leftover. I swapped pakkawood scales on to my first G10 P4, then took the blade from my second and swapped it into the FRN scales.

Very nice. Excellent selection of Shamans and Paras.

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with my variety, even amongst similar models I have enough different steels to keep each knife relevant and desirable to me. I love that Shaman trio as well, really no need to acquire anymore...been remaining strong with all the recent exclusives!

[Airlsee]

My knives are kind of all over the place, with fixed blades in drawers and safes and bags, depending on how often they are used. Same goes for the multitools, while most of my EDC folders are kept in an Apache case I picked up from Harbor Freight a few years ago.

With all that being said, here is the state of my current collection, not including a dozen or so knives that I've decided not to keep but haven't gotten around to selling yet.

Thanks for indulging me. After the pictures and listing things out, I think that I probably need to cull a few more.

**Edit: I forgot my largest "knife"...

Bark River Golok II (Native5 for reference)

I hadn't seen that bear grylls multitool before, that looks like a neat alternative to my Squirts.

Nice taste in fixed blades! I have my bushcraft style fixed blades in another drawer, I'll have to post that sometime.

Got another Military in the mail today, gotta update my photo :D

[Airlsee]

Yeah, that little Gerber multitool is super handy, it's never too far out of arm's reach.

Getting everything out, getting a picture and making a list was definitely a little time consuming, but it was useful to see where everything was and to get an updated snapshot of the collection. I feel like the old adage "out of sight, out of mind" can really become a problem in this hobby!

I hope this thread takes off, it will be cool to get to see some of the collections floating around here.

[Dazen]

More like Knife Drawers! Military is the only one that doesn’t fit.

[Sharp Guy]

I have a couple knife drawers and a knife box (plastic tackle box with 3 divided levels). The drawers are lockable and contain a whole bunch of goodies. So no pics

[PineyBoy]

This is one and there are 3 more drawers, plus about 20 more kitchen knives. I gave away 2 each to each of my 8 kids/grandchildren, last weekend.

[M Sea]

I have this cabinet and a lockable roll away tool cart for the others.

[JRinFL]

You all are much better a keeping a reasonably sized curated collection. I was never able to actually follow through on the "move one out to move one in" method.

[bbturbodad]

Old pic but somehow after putting them away nicely I end up with a few piles like this around the house a few weeks later :o
