Logging my knife carry

[Hickory n steel]

I've got 20 traditional folders / pocket knives at this moment that I deem worthy of use and I've decided to keep track of how much I carry each of them.

I'm not sure yet what I'll do with this information, whether I'll give away those that barely get carried at the end of the year or if I'll just use the information as a buying guide.
All I know is that there's a few knives I think I carry the most, but it's hard tell for sure when I haven't actually been keeping track.

I've done, or at least tried to do, this before.

I'm doing it again this year. Hopefully it will yield better results.

Here's a thread from early 2016 I made about it. There's little information because I got weird about posting it online for some reason.

There's nothing weird about fearing the web weevils.

Sounds like a good idea to me. But I'm sort of a list maker and data collector by nature. You probably know that I have a rotation schedule that dictates what knives I carry each week, so I can tell you in advance how often I'll carry each of my knives over a 45-week span. (I'm currently on week 14 of that 45 week schedule.) The only carries I can NOT predict are the "free choices" I make each week to supplement the scheduled knives. I AM writing down, at the bottom of my spreadsheet column for the week, the free choice knives each week as I make them.

And I have to make a new schedule when I reach the end of the current one, because I continue to get more knives that need to eventually get on the schedule.

I think that's a grand idea I hope you are successful with this. .

These are the 20 knives to be logged.

I believe I carried these 3 the most last year.

And I believe these two may get carried just as much this year.



However I do plan to buy a CV small Texas jack in Amber jigged bone next month which I suppose could steal the year like the 6208 did last year.
I have to buy a new pair of work boots first , but the 62032 is definitely in the cards.
