Knife that stopped you from carrying and buying other knives

[Quiet]

I have several that should have stopped this crazy train, but nothing seems to keep my brain from spinning every time I see something else that would be cool to have and all the reasons I would carry it over the other ones that never get carried.

Reason: I'm being very personally called out in this post and don't like it!!

Man, serious truth bombs dropped in here!!!

The one the wife holds at my throat . *

*( figuratively speaking)

So far as carry : This @David Mary , has been my constant fixed carry since arrival . Accompanying folder has varied still .

You're a hoot! I wish I'd have thought of that! Perhaps I'm better trained? Hmmm....

No, she is, because you never saw it.

I didn’t say anything. Anyway you had it coming.

You're a hoot too!

I have bought a few that scratched the itch for a year or two, but eventually the lust for something new comes back.

A new collection wrecker…. Nothing else seems to compare to this Hoback. It is amazing.

You're not wrong, brother, you're not wrong!!

Now that’s just a tad ironic. A Blur was my first ‘nice’ knife that wasn’t a SAK that started me on this road to insanity.

Haven't found it.

But I'm not seriously looking for it, either.

I've said that a few times

I have been running this race a long time. It’s rare to find a knife that causes me too re think my collection.

Fair enough, I'm just hesitant about hoback with all the drama a few years ago

Cold Steel Tuff Lite.
It just fits my hand perfectly, great blade shape and length, best lock I know.
I own and carry other knives too of course but hundreds of times when I have been looking for knives and thought "hmm, that knife might be useful.." has been cancelled by "..nah, tuff lite is better".

This one kinda did it for me with traditional slipjoints. It's a tad larger than I'd like, and the blades are not AEB-L, but the design is flawless.

Truthfully, there's no rational reason not to go back to the multi-tool and keychain arrangement that served 99% of my daily needs for decades. Fact is, I never stopped carrying those. The experiment of the last few years has been to see what adding a pocket clip EDC would benefit me, and honestly, that role has been filled a dozen times over with optimal models that go way beyond the last 1% of utility.

So, why haven't I stopped? As we all know, a good and well conducted scientific endeavor has to be reviewed and repeated to eliminate inherent biases, mitigate outlying data, and arrive at consistently verifiable results in order to be conclusive. That, and, I mean...moarr shinyyyeee!
