I've lost track of your fixed blade accumulations with all the models you acquired last month, but they look really good on you.

Thank you very much! This is a great thread, I'm very glad to know that I'm not alone, there are many of usMadmarco wrote: ↑Wed Feb 12, 2025 6:28 amNow that's the spirit that was intended for this thread, not anything specific but more of an overall good feeling just being close to your knives, and for the reasons you stated, D.S, well put!desert.snake wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2025 12:32 pm Great thread! Mine are on the left side of my home computer where I sit. I can reach most of them, but sometimes I rotate them and move them to a drawer. Today the closest one is Sunfish from Marbles, which my friend gave me for my birthday. Smooth, but not too slippery, nice round shape and weight. I really like holding it in my hands. Although my friend says that I behave like a fetishist and my wife calls me crazy. It's not in the first photo because it's in the second hand![]()
One look at your "area" tells me you are definitely in the spirit of this thread! You have some interesting knives on the table there, could we please see more of them? Thanks!
I sure like your big fat Marbles, and it goes well below the skinny little trapper, great comparison picture!
Welcome!![]()

Yes sir, that is a fine deal, Tony, and you're right, too, I'd forgotten about your superior search, track, and acquire skills, although this just makes the knife that much sweeter.Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Mon Mar 03, 2025 2:22 amThanks Mark!

8)WIN_20250225_10_57_18_Pro.jpgWIN_20250225_14_10_36_Pro.jpgWIN_20250225_10_58_26_Pro.jpgThis knife is a 9" open slip-joint and was handmade by renowned English maker Graham Clayton dba Digby Knives. It features a SS heavily file-worked spear-point blade that includes a nail-nick, NS bolster and wraparound inserts, even heavier intricately designed file-work on the spine, thick brass liners, and some of the firiest MOP these eyes have seen. Held together with brass pins on it's beautiful gunstock body.
How many times have ya'll read about my dislike for file-work, well let me tell you, the work that was done on this knife goes beyond what I have previously seen and looks great, it may convert me.
Walks and talks incredibly smoothly with a half-stop, and arrived in pristine condition.
Comfortable weight of about 6 oz.'s, and came dull so I could sharpen it to my satisfaction.
I have decided to focus on only high-end knives to accumulate, and stop buying any mid-road and/or cheapos, and I started with this one. I have enough of the stuff we post everyday, so I can continue with those and concentrate my buying to models like this today. At least that's the plan!
I paid-up a bit on this beauty, but Rob C./Knives Worth Using helped me out by accepting an offer, thanks again, Rob!Rob has other Claytons and many others you might want to view in his store.

Will probably fall asleep right here on this couch tonight with this lovely knife in my pocket. It'll probably fall out as I get comfy, then I'll wake up at 4am and shuffle to my bed. Ill put these pants back on when I wake up at 6am and instinctively check for my knife. There will be moments of panic upon feeling the empty pocket as I try to recall where I dropped it. Then I'll race right back down here to reclaim my prize![]()

Got this at the recent Badger Knife show. Its an Aerial, a Wisconsin knife from the 30's, advertising another Wisconsin based company. Solid as the day it was made.
