I payed too much, but I finally scored one.

Thanks.
Not only is it one of my grails, but also one I never thought I'd get.

You gotta do a family photo!!

I've got a picture of the other 6, but I suppose I should probably do an updated photo with the new one.

One for each day of the week.

You could easily justify one for each day of the month

Hickory n steel , That's a beautiful group shot!

I'm not looking to blow your budget any more than necessary, but there are a couple colorful delrin 305's swimming in the bay this morning.

The red and yellow ones aren't very hard to find, so I can wait for a deal to come along.
Thanks for the heads up though.
There's a recent smooth yellow that's been there awhile for a low price that I keep almost buying till I realize the shield is missing.

I've thought about that smooth yellow one a few times. I wonder if Buck Knives Inc. has a dusty parts bin someplace and would be able to replace the shield.

If I didn't love carbon steel and just generally have other pocket knives I also love I probably would carry one every day of the week, but I almost never carry 2 pocket knives.

We do still have some medallions (shields) hiding in the attic

Congrats on the acquisition! I’ve been looking for one of those titanium handles 110s with the finger grooves but I don’t have the disposable income these days. I love seeing people get the knives they have wanted for their collection though!

The blue enamel ones ?
If so I may go for that yellow one here soon and see what can be done.

I almost never carry just 2 knives either. Four sometimes five seems a much better number.

I used to actually carry as many as 6 when there were certain knives I just had on me at all times, I still get asked how many I'm carrying by family members who think I'm joking when I tell them it's just 2 or even only one.
Now I'll carry a pocket knife and frequently pair it with a belt knife, but rarely carry 2 pocket knives.

 

[Old Hunter]

For nearly the last 60 years I carried just one pocketknife everyday, but becoming more frequent nowadays I’ll add a bigger pocketclip knife (either a Buck 110/112 Slim Pro or Buck Vantage). OH

Ah, so you two are That Guy in your circles! I'm That Guy in mine. I usually don't even know the real number on a given day without counting.

I used to be.
I did the whole batman utility belt thing.
Full sized multitool, leatherman micra, fully packed belt pouch, and my Buck 110.
Then in my pocket a Buck 482, Victorinox classic, and 425 or 283 in my watch pocket.
I'd also have a neck knife as well.
Once I got into strictly carrying traditional knives I eventually trimmed my carry back considerably.

I'm probably not going to change!
