What knives do you own that you DON’T carry? We all have them! Fess up! Tell us why!
 
I just recently got a Case small Stockman in CV that I doubt I'll carry much, as the main blade was ground too much and now irks me when I look at it.

I don't carry my Kershaw Whirlwind anymore since the scales flex excessively and allow the liner lock to disengage unsafely.

My backup Forum knife in Ebony is a safe queen. My user is trucking along nicely though. Fantastic knife and a great pocket companion but it's rarity makes me sad they aren't readily available.

I have a couple of discontinued Ontario SP models that I don't use because they are not replaceable. A shame really, as they look like they would perform great.
 
Brous Bionic. So many things wrong with it and it's design, but I used it a ton when I first got it.

I have two Case lockbacks I don't carry, one a gift from my dad when I was 12 and the other a gift from a buddy for my 40th birthday.
 
Don’t get me wrong… I really like the Police it’s just so perfect now and it was from a friend. I hate to mess it up. That’s kind of the point of this thread. Knives you have that are really hard to put in your pocket because they are….PRECIOUS! 😍

This is a major flex. Shame there will be no more.
Absolutely it is, it would have been sweet if the continued with them. I guess six in a series will have to do. On top of that, no lefty this final year.
 
Ugh, shamefully, I have a few. Will post up later, but includes a Spyderco Rex 45 with milled copper scales, same steel Native 5, and my Maxamet PM2, mainly cause the steels intimidate me, but there is other stuff too. Sentimental, or crap, or too nice...
rarely carry my fancy S35VN alum Espada XL unless in sheath, so I decided to make a "dress version", a black XHP blade on a fancy large (not XL) frame.
 
The only ones I'd likely never carry are the Buck 401 Kalinga 2021 Legacy Collection, Grohmann No1 60th Anniversary Model, Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII (12"), Joker Chamois (13"), Joker Tigre (6.5", with deer horn handle), Wappen Knife (family gift with ranch name on it), and two Kukris (No1 Service and Police).
 
There are so many, some are fixed blades and i just don’t want to carry them. The rest I don't carry because I have better options.
I usually only carry a Spyderco of some flavor.
 
Usually the ones I bought on impulse, still like them, but the excitement wore off after I got them or handled them.
