Nice idea for a thread! I like those classic shapes of your knives. Here are two of my tool knives.

Zero Tolerance Son gave me, a little too expensive for me. It’s got a rolling block that opens as you pull it out of your pocket.
My Leatherman Skeletool I've carried forever and a day. Opened countless bottles of beer with it. Broke a plier jaw on it once, sent it in, and got it repaired for free.
The Mooremaker is my calf cutting knife. The Kershaw Chill is the best $23 everyday pocket knife 've ever had. The speedsafe opening notch is super handy. The Barlow Razor Knife is the plug cutter. Came crazy sharp, and I love it. The finger notch is a little sharp, but I'm going to fix that some day.

I'm surprised to see no carbon blades, and so many high-tech knives. Here are a few pics of my favorite pocket knife, an Opinel carbon steel folder. Opinels are inexpensive, very light weight, and well-made. The light weight is the kicker for me - I hate carrying things in my pockets, and you can't even tell the Opinel is there. I also prefer carbon steel, as it sharpens more easily than stainless, and develops a nice patina over time. The only shortcoming compared to stainless is that carbon steel can and will rust if neglected. However, overall, I think carbon is way better. As an additional bonus, Opinels are made in France, where they are practically a national tradition. To my taste, made in Europe is almost as good, and sometimes better, than made in America.
And for full disclosure, this stainless steel Kershaw is an awesome knife, and it's usually what I take with me in the field when I'm canoeing, fishing, or what have you. It's just a great utilitarian tool, and made of very good steel. It's easier to sharpen than most stainless steels. The model is called the "Leek." Highly recommended. I've even bought them as gifts.
EDIT: Also pictured above, a Feuerhand kerosene lantern made in Germany. They are very nice lanterns, though the brand Dietz is almost as well-made and much less expensive. I keep a few of these laterns on hand filled with liquid parafin for power outages. I also use some cheaper kerosene lanterns on my backyard patio as lighting since I don't have any electric lights out there.

Nice! I really like ZT knives (and Kershaw). Here's my Ken Onion model 200.

^^^ Leatherman: The New Swiss Army Knife! I have a Leatherman as well. If I was to be stranded in the wilderness with one pocket knife, I would choose my Leatherman. The fact that they fold into pliers provides a massive level of usefulness. Garbage shows up all over the world, and you could use a leatherman to make a lot of things out of it, i.e. fishhooks or spears from any old piece of scrap metal.

Here's my buck 110, I have had since new in 2003. It's the only knife I used to guy my deer while hunting. It is no longer my full time Carry knife, but I bring it out from time to time. It's little cousin the 112 is my new edc knife. Pics to come soon.
^^^^Good ole Buck 110 for the win!!!!!
I still have the one my dad bought me for my 12th birthday and I will be turning 45 very soon. Everyone should have one even if they carry something else.
