Photos Am I a schizophrenic knife collector?!

[Nostimos]

Just looking over my knife collection after a recent purchase.
I've kept these two with me now, to "enjoy" a bit more.
And realized their vast difference in purpose, use, metals, style, era, etc.
I have preferences, but really do love all types of knives.
And have a "very varied" collection.

 

[K.O.D.]

I like variety, its kind of my thing. That and symmetry. My knife collection is a variety of colors, steels, handle materials, and opening mechanisms. I do not own a balisong though.

The world would be pretty boring if there was only one knife model, and one steel.

This.

Life is too short. Buy what you want and enjoy.

 

[Owen K.]

Yes

I don’t know and neither do I.

I get it too, I think all kinds of knives are interesting and I like owning an example of many types. But my deep, true craving next, is to get a personalized SAK or two. Want to put different Victorinox and Spyderco blades in the 91mm.

I find it hard to stop at times, too, and I vary my carry quite a bit. Repost from EDC because I love this photo, and cause it shows how my carries can go.

No. I like antiques as much as the latest fad.

Unless you have a Mermaid Knife and a Wrench Knife in you’re collection, you’re completely normal.

Trust me.

Surely this forum would be uneventful

The voices in my head are forming a committee to consider a study proposal for the hypothesis :

"Am I a schizophrenic ?" ​

 

[bayouace]

Rather, I consider myself an eclectic minimalist. Lol

 

[Terry M.]

Yes. You are. LOL

Nothing beats the invisible for the scanners, deadly Jamaican, Blue Dog wood folder.

Whatever makes you happy!

I love unconventional blade shapes that work such as the Nessmuk/Bigmuk, Fox Rimor, Eka Axe blade.

When the medicine is right I'm a nice bunch of guys. (Apologies to Willie Nelson)

 

[Knives&Lint]

Perhaps, but at least you have each other



BTW, I knew a guy who was a paranoid dyslexic...

He was always afraid he was following somebody

Just be glad you don’t have this…

It’s the fear of long names. Really.
