Collector or user?

I think folks that like traditional knives tend to have more knives in general if they lean toward being an accumulator or collector.

Lol
I'm anything but a purist, and I don't take anything seriously...especially forum posts.

I guess that explains why you cannot appreciate why other people use knives differently that you.

Most here enjoy thinking about knives in addition to using them.

Putting all of those away would be a real chore.

I have a simple mantra. If I don't use it, it gets sold to buy something I will use. This keeps my collection small, but I truly appreciate what I have. The only exceptions may be sentimental gifts. I'll keep these even if I don't use them.

I'm carrying my most expensive knife ($950) today actually. I don't see myself ever purchasing something over $1500, which is still a ton of money, but I wouldn't be ruined if something happened to it.
