A few eclectic pieces from Gort’s collection
Perhaps not as cool as any of the knives seen here, I thought I'd best prove myself at least
worthy of the company.

That's not too shabby at all! You're not alone. My meager collection pales in comparison with some I've seen here.

I like the little OTF next to the black finger. It looks like an old italian style otf? Wouldn't mind having one like it.
We all had to start with one or 2 knives, soon you'll be looking for a nice curio cabinet. It's a nice start!

Re: A few eclectic pieces from Gort’s collection
You all are most kind. This is actually the Odds & Ends section of my collection. I have several
other displays filled with Itallian stilettos, but you all know what those look like, and I didn't
want to torture you with boredom.
Mr. Grim, thwack for thwack those partially serrated LLs were some of the best "modern"
knives made. Definitely hang on to yours. I've been tempted to use them as an EDC
for years, but they're just too hard to come by.
On the other hand, that Cobra Clone at the far right bottom is without a doubt
the lowest quality knife I've ever purchased. I keep it to remind me how junky
a really cheap knife can be. It does work correctly, but you can almost feel the blade wobble
as it deploys, and the blade gride is .......comical. I really expected more for my $10.
That might make a great thread on the regular forum (worst piece of junk you ever purchased),
but I'm not robot enough to post it ;*)

Re: A few eclectic pieces from Gort’s collection
My fav is the Leverlock with the red bone scales.
Re: A few eclectic pieces from Gort’s collection
Always liked the yellow and black bumblebee scales. one of the few plastics that I do like.
Also the red and black and the frostwood lever lock.
That particlular L.L. was the first knife I bought from Tiny.
