Knives are my dominant hobby right now. It used to be guns but when stuff I like pushed over the $1000 mark, I eased off and bought few new additions for my collection. It has gotten to the point that I seldom even handle any of my collection and they may sit for years between my even looking at them. My tastes in knives don't run so rich and it's still fun.Simply something to do. For me? I find very little else that makes me happy so I feed the madness. There will always be that next knife to add to the collection and searching for it is half the fun.
I like Randall knives in general. Picked up a Blackjack 1-7 in a store and the big stupid grin appeared..... bought it. Have done the same thing with Randalls. Do I need it? Nope. But as the pile grows, I am a bit more selective. I seek the stupid grin......Then sometimes a knife just calls out to you. Why do I own a Busse WTF? Well - if you hold one in your hands and don't get a big, stupid grin on your face, then maybe you wouldn't want one, but everyone that I have handed that knife to gets the BSG-face. Is it a practical knife? No - not why I bought it. It just called out to me.
Same with several of the knives and guns I own.
There are bad things to be addicted to and not so bad things. Overall you have to be careful about addiction.
What drives folks to collect knives? I have many pocket knives and a ton of kitchen cutlery. I can't seem to get enough. However, I feel that I could not possibly use all of them at a level that they deserve. Why am I obsessed with knives?
Let me know your story and how you deal with this addiction. How does one settle on just a select few?
Ummm, are we talking knives or women?they are pretty, shiny, fun to fondle, and occasionally works of art.
OK, I get it, this is nice.I am happy I finally have a grandson that eventually I can leave my beauties to
