Talk about a broad spectrum for a post.
As for me, I mostly collect military knives and bayonets. Namely US blades if I can get them.
I have one for each of my US rifles and shotguns that can take them, the others I have a USGI Kabar.
I wish I could find a V42 Stiletto, or a replica made to the specs of the original, hell even a British COmmando knife would be nice to hide away on my person, if only I could remember who still makes them the old fashioned way.

Ka-Bar is all I really have. I got a nice one from Browning. Actually I have a nice Remington big game knife and a nice little DU knife made by Schrade. I have a sharp as hell fishing knife I believe by Schrade also. I guess that is all the knives I have other than kitchen knives.
The one blade I really want is a real NCO sword.

I love big knives. I use a Ontario rtak 2 mainly but I've just added buck hoodlum to my collection of camping/survival knives. I came across this knife when I was watching the late Ron Hood promoting it in a you tube video. I own all kinds mainly fixed with a pocketknives thrown in. Some of most rugged are made from concrete saw blades. My uncle makes those.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety- Benjamin Franklin
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it-Thomas Jefferson
God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure. -Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. -Thomas Jefferson

I love big knives too. It's hard to find a big quality survival knife. I saw a custom made one at the gun show this last weekend, it had a 10" blade, sharp as hell sawtooth back and hollow para cord wrapped handle, $950. Can't really afford that. I have a Buckmaster. I don't know if it's still made anymore, I'm not a knife guy. I have maybe 3 knives total.

I always say you're the in-house metals man!
The labor I believe comes from making it from the steel itself. Unless they are just putting it ina CNC machine and pushing a button. I thought they were hand made though, they're fantastic. I can't justify the expense though.
I heard the Mad Dog ATAK is now around $1600. That was the one that the Navy SEALS picked, and when the contract fell through, some still bought it out of their pocket.
