95% of my users are never used

[The True North]

I have a lot of users. I love using knives.

That said, I also have a lot of safe queens. My primary interest in knives is material science, engineering, and machining/manufacturing processes.


It's okay to just like knives.

Is this another one of your wizard riddles?

Uses it to measure other blanks?

 

[ShaiHulud]

My poor wife is going to be getting knives in boxes after I kick it. Never too many indeed!

Reminds me of my dad's super expensive yoyo collection.

Would you hate me if I said I had two perfect (for me) knives? The Crucarta Native Chief from Spyderco and my Spartan Harsey Folder. I love how they look/feel/cut/carry. Honestly, I could be happy for the rest of my days with just those, and I'm planning a massive reduction in my collection as a result.

I’m trying to just pick my favorite 10 to keep and sell the others. Been trying to accomplish this for over 2 years now

I mainly use a Kizer utility knife and a leatherman multi tool for actual work. I have no issues using my knives, but I mostly carry them for fidgeting and my own satisfaction now.

Uses it to measure other blanks?

I have hands but no fingers.

 

[ShaiHulud]

After a while I convinced myself a knife isnt for cutting stuff, its just something for my bank account to be busy with.
On a serious note, as I've said I've dumped my knives into a sock drawer sans socks, the model that gets grabbed the most is a fully-serrated salt model

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Also, I should say, I have no issue with those who amass a large quantity of knives. Some of my favourite people on this website have collections that rival most cutlery stores.

I didn't think it was possible to find exactly what I like, and then I did. That's all!

 

[AntDog]

I have my favorites, but all of my knives get used except sentimental ones that wouldn’t be much good functionally.

I’ll pick up a $500 Busse and whack it into a tree just as readily as a $50 Mtech.

 

[Eliteone2383]

I had a rotation and then I found the perfect knife for me. Now my rotation sits in a drawer (and will soon be liquidated). First world problems, yo.

Whats that perfect knife?

 

[SharpBits]

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

It’s a marathon made up of hundreds of sprints.

 

[Blues]

Whats that perfect knife?

He answered above.

 

[Monofletch]

I use every knife I have except the ones that are sentimental like this one from my Granddaughter.

 

[oldmanwilly]

I have a knife that I use daily... but I almost never cut with it.

Is this another one of your wizard riddles?

Nope, all he has to do is brandish his perfectly sharp edges and whatever he needs cut just falls to pieces from fear.

I concur with 98% of this. The difference is, I'm too cheap to waste $50 on an Mtech when El Salvadorans make awesome machetes for ~$20.

I was told he/she who dies with the most wins. I won't finish in first but I'll be damned if I come in last.

In the grand scheme of things, find what makes you happy.

 

[Ironbut]

I have a bunch of knives, and I keep buying more. They were all bought to be users, but no matter what new favorite knife I buy, I keep going back to the same couple old users that work best for me.

[FullMetalJackass]

I hear ya. All my wannabe users have been hijacked for the past 10 years by a pesky Seb 25. I just can't help putting this knife in my pocket, and once in a blue moon the fantastic 551 Grip or something else kick it out.

 

[JearBeatus48]

Do you get royalties if anyone else uses it?

Only if you make them hehe
