Do you edc your CRKs, collect them, or some of both............

I also only have 2 (one and one parked under the Christmas tree) I carry one and will carry both.
 
I've got too many other things I enjoy doing, so I can't justify owning anything just for the sake of collecting. I own one Large Insingo and it's for using.
 
If I own a knife, it will get carried! However if I am using one of my more treasured ones I will carry an additional knife in case I have to cut something messy or corrosive
 
I use and carry all of mine.

If you gave me a mammoth ivory Damascus annual with Chris Reeve autograph (something super rare) I would use and sharpen/polish that knife the first night.....
 
I got scared to fondle/carry my safe queens so sold most. Now I carry ALL of my collection, and enjoy them much more now.
 
Lg micarta Insingo is EDC but I also carry my Umnumzaan sometimes. My lg micarta Sebenza is reserved to go with my Oeser Zulu slipjoint for nice occasions. Like midnight mass this Christmas.
 
Eventually I do want ONE safe queen.

But it is difficult for me not to open packages to my toys.
 
I only have one CRK. I well-loved large classic with micarta inlays. It was already a user when I bought it and I intend to continue using it. I love a user's character.
 
My collection consists of users and "safequeens".
While it's nice to fondle a safequeen I absolutely love to use a good knife.
You can get so much gain ( hope this is the right word) out of using a knife - so much more than if you only admire it.
But then I can't get myself to use some of the "nicer" ones, as I'm afraid to ruin the finish.

I EDC a Small Regular and a few of those other knives with hole in the blade. The other three dozen are pretty much Safe Kings...no Queens here..:)
 
My rotation CRK EDC at the moment are a small micarta insingo and a large blackfood.
But all are used at least on time.
When I want to be discreete I use a Mnandi
