Do you obsessively buy multiples of favorite knives?

[Shadow213]

I've found myself unwillingly doing this lately. So far, I have managed to build up a little collection of Spyderco doubles;

Military S30V PE(2)
Manix PE, CE
Calypso Jr. PE(2)
SS Cricket PE, SE
Navigator PE(2)

Don't know about obsessive in that one particular aspect, but I'm obsessive among other things about speed-safe Onions, collecting one of each of the whole range, and then pretty much all of the versions of the most affordable though by no means inferior ones, the Chive; have also bought 3 of one particular kind of Chive, but more so as to give away the extra ones to sheeples and ladies among my family and friends...
not much to brag about, I guess, and yes, I also collect Sebenzas, but more like each of a kind, not duplicates. Funds are limited, after all, and frankly, there IS a madness to collecting, isn't there, and getting exact duplicates, well that could qualify as insanity
Truly madly deeply into it,

Not necessarily insanity, although it feels insane sometimes. I have backups to my backups...I think that's more like insecurity. It's the "what if..." mental scenario gone haywire. If I were to carry it to real extremes I would have a backup car, a backup lawnmower, a backup gas grill, a backup power drill, etc..., on and on with everything. Now, that would probably qualify as true insanity. But, I just have backup knives and flashlights. (And two of each kind of Dog; I don't get that one , any Psychologists out there? )
