I'm too stupid to be able to choose the knife to carry.

RATS! I spose I could carry BOTH, but then I also HAVE TO have my Wenger Handyman on my belt pouch and that would make THREE knives when I seldom have need of more than ONE.

BUT.... I wanna carry my U2....AND.... my Delica serrated. The Delica makes far more sense because it is one hand, and....serrated. Leaving any need for a plain edge to the SAK.

HOWEVER.... I just fileworked the U2 and made it so dang COOL, that I wanna carry it but it duplicates in edge AND size ....the SAK.

So, I have full brain freeze.

In addition........aaarrrgghhh... I recently LOST a knife and now I thankfully :D have a brand NEW paranoia. I only lost a cheapie SAK, but it has me in full HEEBIE JEEBIES and now I fully assume that I will lose a knife a day for the rest of my life.

So.... would you suggest:

a. Prozac
b. Suicide
c. Risking derision and self loathing for carrying 6 knives in each pocket
d. Drinking
e. Getting rid of every knife

:eek: :foot:
 
Not E., definately not E. It's just not right. I like C. minus the self-loathing part. There is no reason you should feel guilty for carrying every knife in your collection, as long as you can find a use for them. I carry several knives daily, a Lm Wave for hard work, a one-handed-opening "tactical" folder for when I need to have one hand free, a SAK on my keychain (it doesn't get in the way, so why not), and another knife, usually a SAK for food and for use in places where sheeple lurk. I say carry all you want and dedicate each knife to a specific use so you won't feel guilty about it.
 
Get rid of every knife. Now. Send them to me, I'll dispose of them for you for the small price of having you filework my U2... that is a bargain no matter how you slice it.
 
Drinking has worked well enough for us Finns for the last thousand years or so. :D
 
I suggest taking a Course at your local community collage, nothing in particular, just something your interested in learning more about. Possibly seeing a consular, (about the Prozac and drinking). Maybe talk to the local preacher, (the suicide). Send the HEEBI JEEBI'S back to their country of origin. :)
 
a. :thumbdn:
b. :thumbdn:
c. :thumbup:
d. :thumbup:
e. :thumbdn:

Basically, it's a coin toss between c and d. If you do get d, c won't end up mattering anyway.
 
In the immortal words of the great Hunter S. Thompson, "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." So, given that he also committed suicide, I'm sure Thompson would go for A through D! :)
 
I suggest taking an overdose of knives.....cheap or costly, you can NEVER have too many:thumbup:
 
I think you're basically on the right track ... you just might lose a knife every day for the rest of your life. So start buying knives now to replace the ones you're going to lose! Investigate the wait times for different custom makers and plan your orders accordingly.

That's the long term solution. There are several solutions for your short term problem.

1) Do filework on the Delica to make it cool too.
2) Get a new knife that's as cool as the fileworked U2 and meets your practical needs as well as the Delica and carry that one.
3) Get a large number of new knives of various kinds, shapes, sizes, serrations and lack thereof, different steels, different handle materials, etc. and
3a) Get a seamstress to sew a lot more pockets on your clothes. You might also consider wearing a vest if you don't already, boots to hold your boot knives, two or three belts for the belt knives, and carry a manpurse or a briefcase or a backpack (not all three, though; you don't want to look like some kind of loony).
 
go with E , and then start making your own , then when you lose one you can go make a new one....

see how easy that was ?

;)
 
I don't see anything wrong with C. I usually carry a dozen knives as a minimum.
 
Wife sez I need a cowboy style CARTRIDGE belt with loops big enuff fer da knifes.

I think she's right.
:)
 
Lavan, I think you should go with C. on weekends, and rotate between the SAK and the U2 during the week. Write up a schedule for it if that helps.
 
A. Are you an ex-alcoholic?

B. b.

C. f. Seek therapy.

D. g. Try collecting guns. The knives get simpler.

As you can see, I...did....file the Delica. HOWEVER.... I slipped and went TOO FAR on one of the bottom cuts.
NEVER GO PAST THE MIDDLE.....arrrrgghh!

But that keeps it from being as "cool" as the U2 so the dilemma remains.
