I was digging through some of my cigar boxes and other knife storage today, looking for a particular knife, and thought that I would take a few group photos.

First up, some of my "oddball" knives. Most are imports, and none are especially valuable, but for some reason they really appeal to me!

The Moose is a Buck factory second, then I have a Camillus Yellow jacket Muskrat, a Bear MCG Muskrat, and a Schrade Uncle Henry with a guthook. I have a Schrade 77OT out in the shop that I need to finish repairing. It would have looked good in this photo.

Then I have a passel of Schrades. I own a lot more than these, but this group was close at hand.

Then I have my slowly-growing collection of Sharp brand knives.

Then lastly my display of Scout knives.
I had to open the cabinet for the picture as the glass is broken now. I need to replace it with a piece of Lexan. Since I had it open, I temporarily placed my Great-Grandfather's Remington Boy Scout knife in the shadow box, top left.

Reverand, I especially like the barrel knife and the timber scribe in your first pic.

Man...wish I had taken up knife collecting years ago. So many sick knives on this thread! Just awesome stuff!

This was a special request I made to Willem O’Kelly (K’roo Blades) after seeing a block of this wood that instantly reminded me of Van Gogh. I collaborated with Willem on all the details, including the wavy filed spring that I was hoping could sort of look like crescent moons. It’s a 4” Lanny and one of my favorite slip joints in my entire collection. The other special request I had with Willem was the “Poison Frog” Delta Jack. He really did a fantastic job on both of these…

GS68,Those are two outrageously stunning knives.

[Reverand]

Beautiful!

[MissouriGuerrilla]

I like 'em both, but that crescent moon is unreal!

[Sharpnshinyknives]

I love wooden handles and these are two examples of why. What outstanding looking knives. Great job on the collaboration.

Took a picture of the Moki collection after I finally gave them their own display case, before I had them in a velvet lined drawer and it was not as rewarding looking at them that way. I can’t stop looking at them in this display case, they look amazing.

[Quick Steel]

A beautiful display of fine knives. I am unable to see the frame of the case itself, but it is great you now have visual access to this collection.

Beautiful display of Knives
You are right they need to be seen to be appreciated.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Thank you Garry and David.

[LKSKNIVES]

I particularly like the poison frog.
That gorgeous.

[Madmarco]

That's a wonderful display of all your very fine Moki's, Mark, in-fact, SPECTACULAR is what comes to mind.
Talk about a calendar shot, well there it is. Those knives are so beautiful it hurts to see them altogether like that. Congratulations on staying focused and buying only the best.

[Corn Creek Cutlery]

Absolute beauties Mark ... I have several Moki Lakotas, and am quite impressed with how well they make knives!
It would be hard to pick a favorite from those, but the Aberdeen Blue, ACBS, and the Fixed Blades get my attention ...
Then I zoom the photo again, and others stand out ... Whole collection in one word ... Outstanding !!

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Thanks Mark and Tony. It would be hard to pick a favorite for me as well Tony. The red Ares is my very first Moki so that one has a special place in my heart, but any with pearl or abalone would rise to the top quickly. I’ve never seen a knife company do pearl or abalone as well as Moki. They are masters of inlay work.
I’ve foolishly sold all the other Lakota’s with the semi precious stones. Q was nice enough to offer the green malachite one back to me when he moved it out of his collection, I gladly bought it back.

Beautiful group of Moki knives Mark!

Charlie, anybody else say 'a few' I would think they were bragging. But with you I know it's true. A beautiful few they are.

[tvic]

Gorgeous collection there, Charlie!

Beautiful stag Canoe sub-collection, Squatch. I think you've got 'em all: Prime, Regal, Red, Midnight, Second Cut, Vintage, etc...and the rare-as-hen's-teeth Green Stag. WoW! Very impressive, and nice presentation display, too. Mahalo for sharing.
