Let's see your fixed blade collections (and/or individual knives). The folders are already well represented on this sub-forum, it's time for some fixed blade love.:biglaugh:
I'll start with my modest collection.
Top- Pilot's Survival Knife
Bottom- Benchmade 730 (before someone points out the obvious, I know it's a folder:biglaugh:. It is my ONLY folder and this is my entire collection so I couldn't leave it out)
Left to right- M1905E1 bayonet, Strider DB-L, Strider D9 Mod10 (x2), Strider SA, Glock Field Knife

Now for the close-ups;
This M1905E1 began life as a 16" blade bayonet manufactured in 1911 (a good year) by Rock Island Arsenal. Originally designated M1905, and issued for the M1903 Springfield, in 1943 is was cut down to a 10" blade for use with the M1 Garand and re-designated the M1905E1. The bayonets are easy to distinguish from the M1 bayonet due to the fuller running all the way to the end of the blade:

This USAF Pilot's Survival Knife holds sentimental value for me because it was the first knife I bought, as a kid. The sheath in the photo did not come with it. It is a modern, MOLLE compatible survival vest pouch:

Nothing but Striders:

As you can tell, I like the D9 Mod 10. It is my favorite blade Strider makes:

If the world came to an end, this is the blade I'd grab. It holds sentimental value as being the first high-end knife I ever bought. I also like it for it's personality...I put the cord-wrap handle on myself (it originally came green). It's not as smooth or as tight as from the factory but it's got my personal effort put into it:

OK, so those are my current fixed blades. Let's see some more.:rock:
