LtRGFRANK Posted August 10, 2008 Share #26 Posted August 10, 2008 Here is a close-up. I agree. Any reason and you gave me one. Engineers probably liked the long bayonet to probe with. Picture saved to my Militaria files. Thanks much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunbarrel Posted August 11, 2008 Share #27 Posted August 11, 2008 Glad I could help! Speaking of probing with blades, here are some pictures I hope you'll enjoy. The first one was taken in Europe; the other two in Iwo Jima (Marines). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copdoc Posted August 11, 2008 Share #28 Posted August 11, 2008 This drawer holds most of my USGI folding knives, including the MIL-K, engineer, Colonial Jiant Jacknife, and other miscellaneous types. Regards, Charlie Flick Very nice all you guys have nice collections. Charlie what is the blue swithblade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Flick Posted August 15, 2008 Share #29 Posted August 15, 2008 Charlie what is the blue switchblade? Doc: Sorry for the delay in response. I had not been checking the thread and did not realize you had asked the question. The blue switchblade is an Edgemaster. It is not military but I stuck it in there with the other automatic knives for lack of a better place to put it. LtRGFrank, you have some nice blades there, too. Those EG Waterman blades are always easy to pick out in a crowd. Here is another drawer of blades, these being variations on the Jet Pilot knives. There are some 5" and 6" Camillus examples, a Marbles, Ontario and a MilPar. After 30 years of looking around for blades I have yet to run across the elusive Utica Jet Pilot knife. One of these days..... Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copdoc Posted August 18, 2008 Share #30 Posted August 18, 2008 Thanks Charlie I just wondered if there was ever a blue jump knife. Nice pilot knives, your collection does not seem to have an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunbarrel Posted August 22, 2008 Share #34 Posted August 22, 2008 Welcome to the Forum, Mr. Porter. Folks, we are lucky to have another very knowledgeable bayonet collector here with us. http://www.usmilitaryknives.com/porters_page.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porterkids Posted August 23, 2008 Share #35 Posted August 23, 2008 Hey gunbarrel, Thanks for the welcome and kind words. I've been lurking in the shadows here for a while. I had a couple of photos easily available so decided to put them up. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt1911 Posted August 23, 2008 Share #36 Posted August 23, 2008 Thats a heckuva lot of M-9's you have there. How many variants do they make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porterkids Posted August 23, 2008 Share #37 Posted August 23, 2008 Thats a heckuva lot of M-9's you have there. How many variants do they make? Those are just the LanCays. I also have just as many or more Phrobis, Bucks, foreign copies and prototypes. All told I probably have over 250 M9s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewcifer820 Posted August 30, 2008 Share #40 Posted August 30, 2008 Well, this is my first post here and I figured this would be a good place to get started... I began collecting bayonets and rifles with the intent to stick primarily to all the major nations involved in WWII. At some point I started focusing primarily on US bayonets, and lately I've started to delve more into the AK-47 bayonets. Here's my display of the U.S. bayonets I have collected so far. The spikes are on the same board out of convenience mostly. I don't have enough British bayonets to warrant their own board, and I don't have enough US bayonets to facilitate the need to scoot the Brits out of this board yet.

Spathologist Posted August 30, 2008 Share #41 Posted August 30, 2008 It's nice seeing these long bayonets. I've had to talk myself out of buying a couple probably a hundred times. They're long enough to be swords...kinda...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayonetman Posted August 30, 2008 Share #42 Posted August 30, 2008 Since I moved from my large room upstairs to give young Gary a better place to live, I have moved my collection into the small bedroom he occupied. This has meant that I have had to put most of my blades in drawers similar to what Charlie and Bill have done. Fortunately I have a cabinet that my father built for me shortly before he passed away that can hold quite a few of them. I display the bayonets that are "primary" to the 20th Century from my book on a board. Most of the other bayonets and knives are in the cabinet just below the display. Model 1905: Model 1892 "Krag": 1910/1917 Bolos: I have a few socket bayonets that are on the board where I display the few firearms I still have: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunbarrel Posted August 30, 2008 Share #43 Posted August 30, 2008 Very nice collection, Gary! Love the cabinet, too. I have a bench in the garage that my Dad built before he passed away, and I wouldn't sell it for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt1911 Posted August 30, 2008 Share #45 Posted August 30, 2008 Simply impressive and outstanding Gary! That drawer full of 1905's is awesome. Is that a frog on the one Krag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayonetman Posted August 30, 2008 Share #46 Posted August 30, 2008 Simply impressive and outstanding Gary! That drawer full of 1905's is awesome. Is that a frog on the one Krag? That one is a chromed Cadet model, and the leather part is a garrison belt adapter. If you want more information on the bayonet, I described it at: http://www.usmilitaryknives.com/bayo_points_12.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingman68 Posted September 12, 2008 Share #47 Posted September 12, 2008 Well done gents, some lovely displays, never seen so many fghting knives in one drawer! makes my collection of 4 knives look pretty piddly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewcifer820 Posted December 2, 2008 Share #48 Posted December 2, 2008 I only have two or so new additions from my last post here, but I figured I'd post this anyway on account of how happy I am with me Buck + USMC trials M-9. As you can see, I have a couple new Brits in the mix as well, and all of them have been moved to a larger board. One of these days the Brits will be segregated... I promise. I also hoped this might spark some more interest for other collectors to post their pics. I always love seeing other peoples collections and how they have chosen to display them.
