I like the looks of the bayonet and that meat cleaver , several other decent looking pieces there as well . I have a Keen Kutter cleaver in the drawer in the kitchen that I have hung on to for years thinking I might need it at one time or another . I think I have used it maybe three or four time all the years its been in the kitchen , just can't seem to part with it for some reason , it is made of some pretty good steel .

Road dog,I dont have any top private makers,if that what you mean by Jason Voreez.
Top top piece is the unfinished two handed machete with the birch handle just sitting on the tang.
The next one down horizontally is a Philippine machete a girlfriends ex huband brought back.It has a mahogany type wood for a sheath.I added the nylon string so I can throw it over my shoulder to carry it.
I thought the meat cleaver was cool but have never had to use it.It was my wifes grandfathers.The handle is really worn hard and has seen some serious use.I also have their old meat grinders,one is an old antique Hobart.
The next one to the cleaver is one I made from a saw blade from a reciprocating saw.Instead of a band loop blade they used a heavy steel straight blade that moved back and forth.I left the saw blade on the back of the blade and the Ryotex handle is shaped so that you can turn it over and use the saw comfortably.The tip is rounded to make a great skinner.Kind of an all in one deer knife.
The flat handled one to the right was made by my father.The steel is so hard a file just slides over it.There is a different steel up to the tip along the edge that is easier to sharpen.
4th to the right of the cleaver is a Gerber with a gut hook.
The next two are Buck 118s with different cases.
The German bayonet was given to me by my brother-in-law when I lived with him in Conn.I found several bayonets,one with a wooden handle that now I believe was very valuable.I took this one because at the time it was in perfect shape.There are matching numbers on blade and sheath.You can read where it says something and Soligen.Something just above the hilt was ground out and I believe it was a Swastika.This will only go into the sheath one way to accommodate for the blood groove on the blade.This still has grease in the sheath.
(A friend had a WWII war dagger and it self sharpened every time you took it out and replaced it in the sheath.They made some nice weapons with good steel.)
The bottom left is the cAMco knife I thought was a Barlow.The side with the screwdiver and bottle opener locks open,the other side is a plain folding blade.
The next one sports a bright yellow and blue plastic body from EAV?Its a plain folder that I was given when I worked on changing fabrics on the paper machines.Its Swedish steel and I was told the same steel used in the Swiss Army pocket knives.I had one of the Swiss Army ones too but I think it got lost along time ago.
The next two flip openers are Gerber.I guess I need to buy that Case skinner with the bone handle.I have always liked the look of that knife.

Thanks for all the info. Jason Voreez was the Killer in the Friday the 13th movies. That top one looked like his weapon of choice. [

Hello Everybody & Merry Christmas!
I used to collect Case Peanut knives and still have at least a hundred or so. These are some of my better examples that I keep in a Case knife box that I purchased at the Case Company in Bradford PA quite a number of years ago.
I sold some of my great knives years ago. I had some prototypes. The best being a prototype set of 5 experimental handled knives made by Tommy Hart with a letter of authenticity. I still like and enjoy the knives alot but it sure does take up some time polishing the blades to keep them mint. []
Hope you like my knives. Best regards. Paul
