I'll bite!
I love knives, perhaps too much! I know there is a bowie that I need somewhere out there, I just haven't found "the one" yet. But quick guide for breakdown: Gerber Brush-axe (great for the yard), Ontario SP8 Machete (Christmas gift and haven't gotten to use it yet, but very excited!!), Buck Packlite Gut hook (promo from SHOT Show this year), Mantis can't remember name (boot knife), Gerber Saw (cut up a few Elk and it's a wonderblade in my book).
Left-Right: Spyderco Caspian Salt II (this is my dive knife, H-1 steel and has saved my life once), Buck Paklite skinner (promo from SHOT Show), Gerber Freeman Fixed (best hunting knife EVER!), SOG Revolver Hunter (novel...meh have used it on medium game), SOG Woodline XL (camp kitchen knife), and finally without further ado my Ontario Afghan Bushman (for hiking and survival, was also Christmas gift so is unused for now). Right now I don't have any other fixed blades that I'm after, though that will probably change soon. I just need to find the right looking Bowie, and I think I'd like to get a skinner type knife on top of the Freeman. Because though the Freeman moves easily and is a wonderful knife, it can be tough to skin on occasion.

My favorite; Hand made by Geno Denning is what he called the Mini GM model. This was the first ever made and came out of a conversation I had with him on what I thought was a perfect small knife.
It is a smaller version of his GM (George's Model - named for his mentor George Herron)
I also have the big boy version he called the Caribou

Here is my latest. I had this one made by Robb Lipe. No photo will do this knife justice. But, I can't decide which looks better, the knife or the sheath.
Kinda funny, when we finally decided on what I wanted in my knife, he then asked about the sheath. I said that I wanted one that was tooled leather. He asked what design I wanted and I told him to surprise me. I think he did very well.
Oddly, he decided on a Dogwood design and since I'm originally from Virginia, I was very happy. The Dogwood is Virginia's state flower.

Wow, not many pics of fixed blades alone, most were done for other threads (props, ivory, etc). But here goes:
OM Ruger in 41 mag with Bark River first run, both with sheep horn scales.
Second generation Walker with custom Bowie from Nordic Knives (hippo tooth handle)
Party time: 3 Colt's with a Chuck Stapels with fossilized walrus ivory
Handmade knife (by myself) with buffalo horn=matching Ruger OM.
My SASS rig: Colt SAA's with a custom knife from Nordic knives; All three have ivory and watch fob is wart hog.
Same OM 45 Ruger with my Randall #23. Both in buffalo horn.
Randall Attack-sold recently
Replica Army 1860 with home-made knife
Colt dragoon (replica) with home-made Bowie=buffalo horn handle
That's enough. Let me know if I get too overbearing. Thanks!

Here's one my nephew made for me a few years back. He's an amateur knife maker and this is one of his first attempts. (He also made the sheath.)
Blade is made from 01 tool steel bar stock, guard from brass bar stock, and scales from Bolivian Rosewood.

This was given to me by a young man who worked on one of my houses. He was quite proud of it, and it seemed very important to him to give this to me. I think the end of the handle is to be an eagle or hawk but I forget what the red arrow and dots mean. I haven't thought of him in a lot of years, but this thread reminded me of him. He was a good worker.

Here's two of my "current" favorites.
A GBolo I made with Tiger Strip Micarta.
The AET I designed and is being made by MOB Knives.

Can you list the names of each type? I am having trouble finding a few of these online.

Well, the pic didn't transfer. I think the left one is a Gerber LMF, two Case models that I don't know, a USMC Ka-Bar probably actually made by Ka-Bar, and the two on the right are the Buck Models 102 and 119. The Bucks also have names: Woodsman and Special.

Nowhere as fancy as some of those posted, but mean a great deal to me as they were made by my Father sometime in the 1920's or early '30's. He was working at a local lumber mill at the time, so I assume that they were made from either band saw or planer blades. The stiletto's blade is only .080 thick and is very light. I've never found a use for it, but it's neat.
The other looks like it has oak scales and then he poured what appears to be Linotype metal as a filler around the hilt. This one really will hold an edge.

Here is my goto fixed blade, has been for over 20 years. It is a Bianchi Nighthawk made in Germany. When I am going to the woods it goes with me nearly every outing.
It has a hollow handle that contains waterproof matches and nylon cord. Ya never know. Used to carry it on my belt, now it just goes in my backpack. Rambo days are over.
