Couple new Acquisitions

Slow down there Scrooge McDuck! J/K, great buys. A Shiro 111 is my (current) grail knife, I just got a thing for the milled CF and Fuller. The Sigil is cool, and please somebody agree with me that the CRKT Raikiri looks like a ...hommage at least. I mean the blade shape and the mechanical design to the handle? They could be step brothers. Are you gonna use them or baby them and just enjoy them for the sake of collecting? (I couldn't use a Rockstead in good conscious I think, one scratch and it'd go bananas :D)
 
Thanks all I am going to baby them. Possibly the Shiro may get some light use others are just collectibles.

Hi,
I definitely see the similarity between the Sigil and the CRKT Raikiri. The law of diminishing returns definitely applies to custom blades.

Not just blades really, any hobby/passion has a similar curve. A Honda Fit gets you from A to B, a GTI will get you there a bit more sporty, a 911 Turbo S will get you there pretty effing fast and a Chiron will be really expensive to maintain and keep :D

I can understand your feelings, I felt the same when I purchased a couple high end guitars and could not even fathom why some collectors never let theirs see the light of day. Instruments are meant to be played and certainly an argument can be made for knives in a similar fashion. With regard to these particular knives, I purchased them more for thier aesthetics rather then function, perhaps I will end up feeling differently as my collection grows.

Fair enough. As long as they're making you happy , I guess they're doing their job.
