If it was all in the Gettin', here's all but the one ;-)

Well fellow traditionalists, it was so very close tonight, but luckily? I was able to gather enough funds for some emergency car repair for my daughter with some of my knives, that I was able to withdraw this from the fray, but, wow it was close.

Sitting here tonight, it's nice to still have this one to carry!

Glad you were able to keep your favorite knife! If my funds were that tight I don't think I'd be in this hobby in the first place.
 
If I had to pick just one knife to keep it would be my Camillus C4. Not because it's my favorite...it's not.
It's the most practical choice out of all the knives I own. It can do just about everything all my other knives can do combined.

Stock pick....

This literally makes me stress.

It would have to be my large gunstock from J. Oeser




 
Thanks John, I was glad too !

Bdev, I think you'd still have one more knife to pick as that looks like it's really just a nicer SAK ;) so it'd be considered as a small tool box, so fret not, ya got another to choose yet :)

BigF, that's a great looking knife!!! I think if that is your pick, it's a really really nice one! One that any person would be happy to end up with just that in your pocket, a real beauty!

I've peeked in at this thread a couple of times, but have been unable to comment. I took my office chair, put it in the middle of my den, sat down and slowly spun a circle. At NO time was a knife NOT in view!!
Life would not be the same, and I would be in a parallel universe if that constantly changing bunch of knives was reduced to one, or a few!
Downright scary!!
But then I realized, I am headed toward simplification. As I get older, the thrill of the gettin', is being replaced with just determining which ones are the best both to look at, and, most importantly, to use.
So I am following what seems like the inevitable path of most every person here. Thinning the herd, making life less complicated etc.
Wasn't it an ancient Greek philosopher who described life as a journey toward the ideal or the beautiful or something like that??

Thanks for the thread, G-2 - eminently rant-able!!:D
 
I was laid off, gray ceiling kept me from finding a job for a couple of years, unemployment and savings depleted, I sold off a large accumulation of knives just to keep my head above water. I started with the most valuable and easy to sell, customs, S&M, MooreMaker, Queen, and the like and in the end put everything on the block. When the dust settled a few odds and ends and the three traditionals below, Case 62109 Mini Copperhead, Buck 310 Whittler, and Old Timer 180T were left. I 'spect if push came to shove again I'd keep one of these three, for old times sake if nothing else.

 
Nice C-2 and those Greek guys did like to pontificate quite a bit, could be any number of them that had chatted on about such things, they were pretty smart guys!

and GronK, those would be a welcome group to have on hand!
