So, what we have here.
Upper left corner, a small custom fixed i made, from something like 1045 carbon steel... a bit rusty.
Left to this: a standard Opinel #8, stainless blade but as sharp as the carbon one;
A mini Douk-Douk;
Two Tiki (exactly the same than the Douk, but with chromed handle and bronzed blade);
Two Douk, the first repolished to avoid corrosion, the secon reshaped because of a tip breakage during very uncarefull use;
Ah... one of my favorite, my Roselli Grand-Father (or Uncle), really a must have in my opinion, and my trip pal;
A puukko from Iisakki Järvenpää with leather handle;
Another basic puukko;
Last of the row, the Cold Steel Kukri machete... i didn't found as good as Noss did.
Then the block of four begins with what we call a "piémontais", i.e. a knife with no locking mecanism at all, blade is just maintained by friction. This folder is from Mickael Moing, and extremely comfortable in hand, with a 1075 carbon blade and green oak handle;
Another piémontais, but from Ceccaldi, a corsican cutlery;
A skinner from Eric Albert, a young french knifemaker. Very neat grinding and polishing, and ram scales;
And an automatic from Perceval, a small french cutlery, called the P60.
The next row beggins with, i hope every one recognized, a Busse CGFBM. No comment.
Then a CS Peacekeaper.
The Fiskars hatchet;
And the longer of their folding saws, dreadfully efficient;
Then two CRKT, first is a KISS
Second is a M16-13Z in desert finish;
Then two Spydies, my Delica 4
And a chinese made Tenecious;
Come then three swiss bayonets (don't really know why, i bought ten of them)
A kitchen knife from 32 Dumas, a french brand. This model is what we call a "dénerver" (denerving?), it's shaped like a slicing knife, but the blade is thinner and more flexible. Put it here cause i thought it would do a nice stabbing knife;
A custom knife inspired from the scramasax shape, made from 55Si7 spring steel... needs to be finished;
Then a blade from Poul Strande i braided poorly;
And end of the row, a strange knife made from D2, with a horn handle, from french knifemaker Christophe Moussa, if i remember well.
Extreme bottom of the picture, a Cold Steel Roach Belly
And finally a totally brand new Fällkniven A2, i'm considering selling, having now the FBM.
