Seems like I've been telling my son these words a little too often lately. I've always had an inerest in knives. Just never really got serious about it. Went to a gun show in early November and started checking out the knives that were displayed. Couldn't afford a new pistol and didn't want to leave empty handed. I ended up buying two cheap Chinese imported knives. I kind of had to buy at least one since I cut myself and bled on it. Before the bloodshed, I was able to handle a few higher priced knives. Spyderco, Ka-Bar, Buck, and of course some Kershaws. I didn't buy any of them since I felt pretty ignorant when it comes to quality knives. But I left with some model numbers and and itch that needed to be scratched.
Anyway, forward to the present day. I have more knives than I know what to do with. And more than I'd like my wife to know about. I'll admit, some in the following list, I bought for the simple fact that I like them and have no plans t use them on a regular basis. In the past, I've had a couple of Gerber multi tool knives and I think I've lost a couple of cheap (less than $20) Buck knives. I don't think I've really noticed Kershaw in the past. But once I did, there was no turning back. So here's what I have in my inventory at the present time.
Buck Special 119
Buck 110
Dajo Survivor
Buck Vantage Select 345
2 Gerber multi-tool (unsure of the models)
A couple of low end SAK
And here's all the Kershaw knives I bought since November:
1445 1/2 Ton
1446 3/4 Ton
1447 1 Ton
1990 Brawler
1670S30V Blur
1551TI Cryo
1490X Tension
1760 Skyline
1760OR Skyline
I have my eye on a couple more of the Blur knives and have been trying to track down one of the fixed blade Skylines. I actually took a 80 mile drive on Christmas Eve to look for the fixed blade Skyline and they didn't have it in stock. I had to settle for the orange Skyline and the Tension instead. So all was not lost I suppose.
Sorry about the long post, but this forum is cheaper than a therapist.
