Here's a few of them , I got bored and the dinning room tale was clear for a change .

Sweet! Do I see some Randall's and M3's? Never got the chance to get a Randall.

I know I'm late on Glock knifes, but I just discovered them. Model 78 & 81, nice blades for the money. The 78 is discontinued but you can find them on ebay.

Is that a Cattaraugus or a Case to the right of the Ka-Bars?

That is actually a Kinfolks . Got that one in a box of knives listed on Craigslist for $40 . Saw that one sticking out from under all the junk knives in the picture .

Cool! Got a favorite?

(Is that a shoe collection I see in the corner of the frame? LOL. We do the same thing here.)

Mostly all the WWII knives , and yes that is our shoe collection , one pile of them anyway lol.

The list goes on you of all people here know how it is lol .

A display case of your WWII bayonets would be super sweet. I was thinking of one with either a Grand or a 1903A3 on top.

It's called a Kanekoma Higonokami. The family who owns the company is a family of blacksmiths who can trace their lineage back to forging Samurai swords during the Feudal Japanese era. In any event they made these simple, inexpensive working knives as well and have been a staple of Japanese culture for centuries. It's one of the oldest folding pocket knife designs.

Search Nagao Higonokami or simply Higonokami knife. The prices range from $20 upwards starting with SK steel and moving to Super Blue. I chose this Kanekoma in the $65 range because it features Japanese white steel which sharpens to a razors edge. It's a high carbon steel. While not having as good an edge rentention as Japanese blue, white will get sharper. No problem for me maintaining an edge as I typically polish on a strop once a week. They are known as friction folders. They do not have a locking mechanism just your thumb. There is something called a modern Higonokami which I believe is liner lock. Hope this helps!

Very nice, for display I highly recommend pegboard if you have a wall you can use. At Home Depot they sell 8' x 4' sheets of pegboard, and they have the mounting kits. I doubled up on the mounting kits and used extra long screws through the drywall and into the 2x4 framing to make it extra strong. You can hang anything and everything on it with the right pegs including guns.

I had a hankering for a Tanto edc. I only have fixed blade ones otherwise and I do enjoy some history. This seemed like a slam dunk. No regrets

I was thinking about making cases with shelves out of old pallet wood to hang on the walls . Some sort of combination of these just bigger .

I love this blade! Was a tough choice, this or ODG. Would be great if it was available with different steel.

That was my EDC for two years. Only complaint was the wide blade. I would scrape my hand getting my keys out of my pocket.

It was super easy to sharpen and held an edge for a long time.

Great knife that doesn't break the bank

Sparked my interest as to what the rest of the Kanji on the blade was.
