Ever bought a knife for wrong reasons?

Almost every knife I own was bought for some made up reason

Oh yeaaa, I'm a girl, but I love knives. Some guys do not understand this and perceive everything under stereotypical thinking, such as that girls should not go hiking and use knives, much less have a whole collection.

I have no knowledge or experience with such a stereotype. Seems strange to me.

I bought a magnacut 110 because, well… magnacut…

By the knife and then find a reason why you bought it.

It really isn’t that hard to think of a “good “ reason, just don’t think of the bad reason and be satisfied you did good!

Every single one I own....

Well now with that revelation, time for a collection sell off!

Sell-off? Whatever are you thinking, man. This is the best time to go buy another one!

It’s the definition of insanity - it’s only fitting.

Retail therapy.

“Look at all the money you’ve saved by not buying cars, motorbikes, or firearms. You deserve a treat.”

“Who knows how much longer that stag will be available. Or if we’ll even have stag. It could become a controlled substance any day.”

“You haven’t eaten out in weeks. You’ve earned this.”

I have a similar method.....
Start shopping for a $500 knife , find something I like for $300.... I've saved $200.

That is awesome to hear!

I know a few girls that have a knife, but they mostly have SAK or something from gas station. This girl bought that knife just because she believes it's a collab of Cold Steel and Taylor Swift singer, but she loves the knife and always has it.

I think there is a lot of women that like knives, but they just don't visit forums like this one.

My Daughter Carries a small Sebenza and a SAK, but yeah she does not read these forums.

Don't use that logic on your wife, or she'll double-down on you.

I have been known to buy a weird knife mainly because it was weird. Like the Cold Steel Demko AD-15 Lite, which promptly cut me.

Its how I ended up with so many CRK's!

Knives are for everyone, just because someone is a girl/woman doesn’t mean they shouldn’t use knives. Everyone should know how to use knives. Here in Canada the stereotypical thinking goes so far with some people (male and female) who say stuff like “cars are for boys and if you’re a girl who likes cars then should be a boy.” Pretty messed up here in Canada hehe.

I bought a Hinderer XM-18 because I don't like my pointer finger and wanted to punish it!

I don’t make up the reasons, the voice in my head does. ‘You know, that knife would be perfect for [insert made up reason here].’ I’ve tried arguing with the voice, reminding it that I’ve got at least 10 other knives in the drawer that would perfectly suit that purpose, but somehow the voice usually wins. Usually it’s something like, ‘but you don’t have that one in magnacut.’ How can you dispute that kind of logic.

Is *while drinking* right or wrong?

I justify buying knives because I'll need them when I enter Valhalla (got a buddy there already who's saving a spot on the feasting hall bench for me).

Hey, I need every single one of my Microtech Star Wars variants Who doesn't need half a dozen identical ultratechs

It's especially right, but you have to take more care.
