Heres a question for everyone do the knives you own,or carry convey or correspond to your personality? Examples scales no scales,claw blades,straight blades,sm,med,or lg blades,folders or fixed only,special color combo to go with your attire ,odd blade designs etc? Mine are defiantly small, fixed, perf black coatings,claw or drop point knives. with more emphasis on claw. I like black coatings because they correspond with my wardrobe ,i ware alot of black colored clothing.accented with white or red my fave colors.
 
My knives are all sharp, like me:) :D

I do like lock blades under 4 inches.

I'm a stag lover. I have no idea what that says about me, but it couldn't be good. :eek:
 
I like simplicity. Sebenzas, one pece, full tangs with slab scales. So I guess that makes me a simplton.

I don't know that my knives convey my personality very much. I love small drop point hunters. I only like handles that are made from natural materials (although some micartas can be pretty nice). I love 52100 and damascus, but any of the better steels are OK with me. Lately I have come to want to get a few integrals and at least one knife made from wootz damascus by Al Pendray. I do not like "Tactical" or black blade coatings.

If there are any psychologists out there that tell me how that relates to my personality I would love to know.
 
I go for mid-price or cheap, simple and functional designs. I never buy a knife for its looks. I could give away any one of my daily use knives and not think twice. So yeah, I guess my knives are me.

On the other hand, my knives get dull fast and half the time I don't know where they are, so...
 
Yes. My favorite folder is my customized REKAT Sifu. Just like me, it's big, sharp, and can handle whatever is tossed its' way.:).
 
Well, I have an "Uncle Henry" folder in my pocket and my nephews and nieces call me "Uncle Daryl" so it's close, but not quite right. :D

Seriously, I buy my knives to use. I never really thought about whether they matched my personality or wardrobe.
