I need to learn how to sharpen to the utmost capabilities now too! What equipment and techniques are recommended by all of you knife connoisseurs...

The spyderco sharpmaker is great for starters, but nothing replaces a good set of water stones and learning to sharpen 'freehand'.
I'd recommend a 400 grit, 800 grit, 2000 grit and finish it off w/a leather belt stropping.

Good information and good link! Thank you very much, sir! :beer:
Just picked up a Gerber LMF II knife. Pretty good kit for the money...
Got the black LMF2 for Christmas. I now have both the tan and black editions of the LMF, as well as the "drink yer own piss" knife.
Not really a collector but heres what Ive got.
My daily carry. A Chinese Kissing Crane.
A gift from a knife collecting co-worker. White bone Boker.
A knife from Nepal that a friend got for me on her travels there. I dont know anything else about it.
A letter opener and pen set that my Grandpa made from scratch. He even make the box.
Another that my Grandpa made. Once again he made the box also.
What about that one that you have thats shaped like a giant black penis?
Im glad i saw this thread. I have a few knives, but no pictures. A couple of bench mades (one of them auto), a couple of CRKT, and others.
Ive been wanting an out the front auto. I think ill get a microtech soon.

Beautiful! I have one as well! Gotta love the butterfly knife!
Just ordered this SOG Flash II

I also have a black one and think it's a pretty good knife.
IMO for the money a Becker BKII Campanion is hard to beat. It's like a little hatchet that also works very well as a knife. It chops wood like a mofo, but also does great at cutting, carving slicing, and whatever else a knife does.
It's thick and very sturdy and I highly recommend one.

Got a new toy, Gerber Prodigy, feels really good and pretty dang sharp lol. Got it put on my vest I just got recently too (nothing high end or fancy, $30 lol).
A few goodies...
My Benchmade AFO with my grandpa's WWII/Korean/Vietnam autos (he was a pilot)...
Benchmade Mini Griptilian in Cerakoted M4 Steel...
Benchmade Rift in Grey G10 with the G10 scales on my railed Operator...
There are 4 more Benchmades I'm going to buy before I move on to Sebenzas and Hinderers.

Working on whittling down my Benchmade to-buy list, though I also recently picked up a second Spyderco Paramilitary 2 (in all black)...
Jericoh Hogbody Mk IV, he classifies this as a small knife. 1/4" 1095, it's a chunk.
Very nice Sir.:beer:
Not to derail the thread too much, but out of curiosity, how many of you guys use your knives on a daily/regular basis and what kind of things do you use them for? A lot of these knives look really cool, and I have thought from time to time about getting one......just not sure if I'd be getting one just to be getting one, or if I'd actually find a use for it regularly.
^^I use mine every day on boring little mundane tasks, such as opening packages or boxes. I could get by without one but it is nice to have the tool when I want one. I also always have a small flashlight and a pen in my pockets with me, for basically the same reason.
I definitely don't need as many as I have but they are fun to tinker with.
