my stuff:
Ka-Bar black fighting rubber handle-partially serated.--awesome knife,just got it, very sharp,sturdy everything expected and needed and way more.highly recommended
ozark trail fixed blade- walmart knife but its still good.
old timer folding blade.-has 3 types of blades, sharp,sturdy,small. it does the dirty work
hatchet-havent used it,but its good and looks sturdy and reliable.
various multi tools
swiss army knife-cousin got it while on a trip in europe so i dont know the name,works well,reliable sharp after many years,what you expect from a swiss army knife, doesnt have a ton of crazy tools but has the basics and a few good extras.
many hacksaw blades-so many good things to say about them. so ill say these things can do anything if used right.
various folders and pocket knives
thats all it can think of.

but in the future i would like a sog seal knife 2000 <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />,sog pentagon <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> , or a ka-bar kdi law enforcment(has a curved blade and you can draw it quick,not good for wilderness or survival but good for self defense and etc.looks really sweet and good).im also looking at the gerber survial knife,im sure youve seen it or know what im talking about,can be used as a hammer or spear,etc

BM mini RSK-love it; my EDC.
BM RSK; love it but too big for my EDC. Great for out in the woods.
Leatherman Supertool; old school original version but still usefull.
SAK Climber; used to be my EDC for a long time.
SAK Alox Cadet; Great for dress up when you need something slim.
SAK Classic; tiny but usefull.
Swiss Tech Ultilty Key; Great for when you need to go as a "spy". Good backup tool.
BM 555 mini Griptilain with combo blade in 440c; great tuff knife that is easy to sharpen.
BM 556 Mini Grip combo black blade in 154cm; Love mini grips!
Buch 112; one of my first knives from JR highschool. A classic!
KaBar Dozier spearpoint folder; Great value for $20.
Cold Steel SRK; more of a prybar than knife. I finally got it to shave hair using my Sharpmaker.
Ontario RAT-7; This will be the fixed blade I will now carry into the woods.
Mora / Frost carbon steel Clipper; really sharp and easy to sharpen. Crappy sheath.
Granfors Brucks Small Forest axe; came sharper than some knives. Awesome! I need more of their axes.
Buck Hartsook Talon lite; fun little back up blade, very sharp. I had a custom kydex sheath made to replace the POS that it came with.
Spyderco Jester plain; the best keychain blade I have found.
Spyderco Ladybug; on my climbing harness so I don't have to pull out the real knife at belay stations to cut old webbing.
Kershaw Twocan; a great pair of sheers / knife for your keys.
SOG Micron; Teeny little knife I got for free; goes past tsa.
BM 530 SBK Pardue with black combo edge; a very sharp and pointy blade with a very light handle. Not very much for liners on this so it is probably not that tuff.
Buck 503 Prince; another oldie from highschool. one of my first EDC knives. It has seen lots of use and is still razor sharp.
SAK Spartan with Anchor Steam logo; This does not leave the house.
SAK Classic with Grateful Dead "steal your face' Logo; shelf queen.
SAK Craftsman; a gift. I little too big for my taste but I keep it in my earthquake kit as a back up.
Comando Saw; the only wire saw worth carrying. It actaully works!
Red Handled Frost Mora; Sharp with a great blade. Really poor handle; I think I may make this my first attempt at upgrading the handle. Has a crappy sheath.
KNIVES I HAVE LOST
Leatherman Micra; good keychain tool. I lost it and never replaced it.
SAK SwissChamp; Huge and heavy. I lost mine in college and never replaced it.
Spyderco remote release; It "released' in a "remote" spot on a rafting trip. Never replaced; I never liked the full serration.
Buck 110; lost it in highschool. I am thinking of buying a new one for nostalgia.
There is porbably more that I am forgetting. That is enough for now.

Yeah, I noticed that in your list of knives and I thought it was probably the same. Good quality knife. I think the grip is an improvement over the original stacked leather washers.

In reality, I've never had an occasion to use it. It's too big to carry. I own a horse ranch and use a knife constantly. The locking folders on the right are my main rotation. Right now I favor the minigrip. Fixed blades are fun to own, but they're not something I use on an everyday basis. Though I sure am lusting after a Fallkniven Northen Lights hunting knife at the moment.

Again, I won't bother listed all of them, but I'll tell you which are my favorites and when I prefer them:

I EDC a Ritter minigrip. It is a great everyday knife, though I get comments from some knife-phobics when they see it in use. It doesn't bother me in the least.

When camping I bring three knives - the fullsize Rittergrip (the original), the newish fixed blade Rittergrip (a fantastic knife!!), and some kind of multiblade - usually a new-style Leatherman Wave, but sometimes a Victorinox StayGlow Climber.

I"ve gone through quite a few folders and fixed blade knives in search of ones I like. I really like Doug Ritter's knives

I also bring a small axe and a saw (either a bow saw or a recently purchased Trailblazer Buck Saw if I need a smaller package).

I generally don't loan out knives. Over the years I've found folks generally think of a knife as a screwdriver or scraper. If I'm camping with others who might need to use one of my knives in the kitchen then I'll bring along a stainless Mora knife.
