Few more:
Fox skinner (Made in Italy, real horn scales)
Buck 112
The top two in the below picture are Nieto knives from Spain.
Two weeks back I was in the U.S. and that was a good chance to get a Chris Reeve folder (Large Sebenza).
I passed the opportunity though as I do have half a dozen knives and at some stage there'll be another shopping trip across the pond.
My Gayle Bradley is the best blade I possess because of the CF scales and the weight balance, because of the fantastic edge it retains despite the fact that the whole blade is best kept oiled at all times, and finally because of its ergonomics.
I have a couple more big folders (Spyderco and Benchmade) but no pictures as yet.

* Re-post from the EDC thread as this might be a more apt thread *
Was able to pick up my little white whale in terms of pocket knives this weekend - the CRKT Van Hoy 5120 snap lock (which is the smaller one of the models).
It's been discontinued for a few years so finding one in like-new condition for $40 was a great find
Here's the knife I bought - it also came with another CRKT knife called "Full Throttle" that I know nothing about. It seems to have a little bit of wear on it but seems like a nice enough knife. Especially being 'free'.
Will see when I receive them this or next week.
Update: Found this video on the 'Full Throttle', actually looks pretty neat:

Received the two knives this week and really like them. They were sold as used for $40 for the pair - but arrived looking brand new.
- A Van Hoy Snaplock 2 mini knife that I honestly couldn't be more pleased about;
- A Foldable Van Hoy Russ Kommer "Full Throttle" knife
This knife was included in the lot and I wasn't too excited about but seeing it in person it's a gorgeus knife with a lot of brass details and a nice, solid weight and feel to it;

Come on @JamieM & @Roscotanna get posting
I want a single folding blade, 1 hand opening & the Spyderco Grasshopper looks good.
Basically I want a letter opener, always been interested in penknifes
