Hello fellow knife addicts. Long time lurker here. Figured I’d finally sign up. My collection is as follows. Spyderco native5 s110v/Manix 2 s110v/pm2 S30V/ Delica4/ ladybug2/zt 0450/ cold steel tough lite. What is the best route to post pics here? Also any suggestions as to what my next purchase should be?
 
Well mr powers, building a solid collection
Is highly dependant upon ones credit level :-)
If you wish to get dead serious
It's time to cut through the chase and
Save for a sabenza or some cool mid tech stuff!
With the advance route, one might have to forgo
The joys of hlts and misses
With the regular production material.
But isomething tells me that you rather discover for youself
The thrills and spills of multiple knife ownership the regular way,
Don't sweat it! You're pretty much on the right track :-)
To enjoy a purchase, one needs to be smitten first.
Your heart should be your guide.

Looks like 5 out of your 7 knives are of one brand. Nothing wrong with that at all, though.

However, not knowing your size/material preferences or uses, I might suggest trying out the other major knife companies. I've listed below some commonly well-liked knives by us knife nuts here on bladeforums:

Alox SAK Cadet
Benchmade Ritter Griptilian (regular or mini, these are recently discontinued but still pop up on the Exchange here)
Benchmade 940 series
ZT 0562cf
Kershaw Link or Dividend in m390
Ontario Rat 1 in d2

Just a few to get you started in your search. Good luck!
 
My philosophy lately has been to find out everything I dont like about a knife then I get one that hopefully fills what the other could not.

Then theres the i just have to have this knife based solely on looks. Well been there too :) keep in mind all of mine are users with a few "queens".
Example.
I bought a spyderco street bowie so i could try the Perrin design without dropping more then a bill.
I thought I would love it .....but..... nope its ok but not realy comfotable for me.
granted i should have tried the smaller one.

Just my 2
 
Welcome! I second the Benchmade 940. Great design. Super slim in the pocket with a blade that's still long enough to be useful!
 
Welcome!

Nice collection! Which of those do you find yourself using the most?

Best suggestion I can make on your next purchase right now is a membership to this site. ;)
 
Welcome Jason! Any idea how much you want to spend on your next purchase? Out of the knives you have now, which one is your favorite?
 
Welcome. SAK's, Opinels and Moras. At least they are cheap, and then you will know what all the fuss is about. Also a GEC slip joint - tons of them second hand in the traditional sale forum.
 
Welcome Jason, you're off to a great start! :thumbsup: A Victorinox SAK & the Mora carbon steel Companion are a must have imho. :)
 
To your current collection: add a 940, an alox SAK, and a Dragonfly 2 in ZDP. Then forget you ever heard of this place. Take your 10 knives, use them like there's no tomorrow, and be happy.
It's not too late for you! You still have time to get out!

J/K, welcome to the forum, and to the knife addiction.
