Can you sell off most of your knives and just be happy with 2 or 3? im selling about 1/2 of my folders and am buying a Burke Rockstar, i think thats THE knife for me. IS there any such thing?

Also any one have a Rockstar? How do you like it??
 
For me, there is no such thing as THE ONE knife. If it had all the blade shapes I find useful for various tasks with enough duplicates of each to have the steel/edge angles I like for those various tasks, I couldn't get my hand around it.
 
Sure there is. I've had many of them. Only problem is that I always seem to have "The Knife" for a couple weeks max, before another "The Knife" comes along. I've lost count of how many "The knives" I've had...:D

i got's me a rock star and it's the stuff. love it. only thing that made it better was getting a sheath for it made by lifter. check out my youtube review if you want. as far as the knife or the "grail" i think there is. i know i have mine. ;)
 
no THE KNIFE here.....but many THE KNIVES..

It's a subtle point....but I think we all have the same disease...:D
 
At best I could narrow mine down to 3 custom fixed , 3 production fixed , 3 production folders , 1 custom folder ( the only custom folder I own ) :)

The knife ? Don't believe it exists , have one folder that comes dam close for me , an Erickson.
 
Reading these posts, i can see i am in the same boat as everyone else.

I also think that the KNIFE is a dream. I own many, but somehow a new perfect one always seems to find its way into replacing the perfect one in my pocket.
 
it depends on the person, at first THE KNIFE for me was the Cold Steel Ti Lite, then the Buck Tempest in 154CM and the the Spyderco Police model, and the Kershaw Avalanche had its time and the Recon 1 was there too, for me its the Emerson Mini Commander in the satin finish and the plain edge, its just the one that i find myself going for at work, out with friends or even at home i carry it. For the majority of the time in the 3 or so months that ive had it its been my main carry for about 80% of the time.
 
The Burke Rockstar IS an awesome knife!! I have one of the custom ones!!I LOVE my Rockstar!! Are you getting a custom or a production Rockstar?

I dunno if there is such a thing as "THE" knife for me, but it sure as heck is fun trying to find "THE" knife!!
 
I have been selling off knives at a fast pace. I had so many that I really had no use for most of them. I had more trouble deciding which one to use than it was worth. I could get by very well with 3 or 4 knives. It might well be My Vic Explorer, My SOG Northwest Ranger and my Kershaw Blackout. Of course I would keep my Estwing Hatchet that I have had for 20 plus years.
 
The perfect knife is like the perfect wave, it'll always be the next one, or the next one,or..........
