Ok first up a geeeinyoowine Yemeni Jambiya I got in Sanaa a long time ago traveling with my dad. Complete with belt that has cartridge loops and yep a cell phone holder! 😂 That’s what caught my eye when I saw it. A blend of centuries old tradition and modern technology. It’s real, but really kinda cheesy. Could you stick a soft target with it? Absolutely it’s sharp and pointy. But any real use would break it. Thin cheesy local made Yemeni steel. But cool for what it is.

Next up a presentation bayonet given to me after doing some business in Bulgaria. Not sure what rifle it would go on though. But this one is really stout! It’s a knife that was intended to be used but instead turned into this polished presentation piece.

To fit the thread title my most rare knife is this Japanese made Case my grandfather carried in his pocket. It’s at least 60yrs old

A tiny Anza I bought at a gun show years ago because it was so cute I couldn’t resist.

As far as my most ‘valuable’ knife goes it’s this one. My older brother gave it to me as a birthday present a few months before he passed away. Knife itself was $20. But the value in it being the last thing he ever gave me makes it irreplaceable.

Lastly for now top to bottom Benchmade Contego Axis lock, Benchmade Ares Axis lock and newest Microtech Ultratech Bronze.
I carried the Ares for a long time. Used it well. Then wanted a larger EDC and got the Contego. Top edge of blade toward end has a ‘knuckle’ to it that adds just enough weight to make it flip perfectly and naturally. The Microtech is smaller and just a knife. You can see from the two Benchmades they got used for a lot of different stuff. The Microtech has already passed the bottle opener test though. So that’s good. 😎

A Kukri knife. Originate in India / Nepal. I have a Spyderco that is inspired by that design.

And, "broken" as @brownie is fond of saying about folders! 🙃I've come to the conclusion that Racer likes holes in his knives.

Those are made by SIXILANG, and are Japanese “Damascus” blades. I don’t remember what the core steel is.
The quality seems very good, and they hold an edge well.
