Hi, guys.
In case you haven't met me yet, I would point out I'm rather on a tight budget. However, I managed to get a bunch of used SAK's on Ebay recently for the kids' birthday presents, and, well, I got trigger-happy and ordered half a ton of them. Some are still trickling in, in the after-Christmas mail roundup.

Here's a picture of my SAK's, plus the Chinese Snowflake I got from my SIL, and the daily beater "True Utility" knife I've carried daily since I bought it new around March.

There are 4 Classic SD's, one Wenger Esquire, and 3 Spartans. Not pictured are the 5 nicer knives (all 91's) that I gave my kids, the blue Classic SD I gave my wife, and the Spartan and Classic SD I gave my sister.'ll

The 3 Spartans pictured: One, without pick holes, is in pretty good shape and I will probably give it to somebody shortly. The other two are rougher and missing their sidearms. One also has a loose scale. I will continue to use those two rough ones as my daily carry hacks, along with the True Utility. I'll probably carry one of the rougher Classics with me too, to have a nail file and tweezers with me at work. I break fingernails frequently in my rough-and-tumble vocation, and I also get splinters. Hey, I'll also have scissors with me too, for what it's worth.

And yeah, of course I meant Christmas presents, not birthday presents, for the kids. It was my wife's birthday present, though. Her birthday is Christmas.

Nice collection.  My SAKs, MTs, folders, fixed blades, and traditional folders are previously owned.  I've only bought a few new.  I love getting previously used tools.

Well, crud, I just won some more auctions.

So I think I just won,

A Ranger,
A Climber,
A (Sentry?)
and 10 assorted Classic SD's. Which I need like another hole in the head.
Anyway, I'll be selling a lot of CSD's soon. I'll probably keep the Ranger as my new EDC, I suppose.

I'm not sure the identity of the single-blade knife. I suppose it's a Sentry, but doesn't it look too big? Any ideas? Also, is the middle knife a Climber, or an older 84mm? The picture plays tricks on my eyes...the Climber looks shorter than the Ranger, and the Sentry looks as long as the Ranger.

The seller doesn't tell what models they are, and only provides the one picture.

EDIT: I guess it might be a Gardiner or Floral Knife.
