Multiples of the same model?

That’s an absolutely beautiful knife. I wish I had the money to spend right now

It’s an interesting piece. It’s not a spectacular slicer or fidget knife. The blade is .15” thick, with a relatively short grind. Teflon washers, and I keep my pivot very tight, so it’s a roll open/shut knife for me. I’ve seen a clip of one with the pivot backed up a little for front flipping, but I don’t care to do that. Roll open/shut is very smooth.

But... all of the above also makes it a shockingly robust user. I’ve taken it to work, cut a couple hundred zip ties, a couple hundred yards of cardboard by now, etc. That thickness doesn’t make it a knife that glides through thick material, but it has a pretty strong edge. All I’ve done is touch it up on the Sharpmaker and strop a bit.

So, it’s kind of the Gina Carano of folders. Sexy as hell to look at, but also resilient and capable.

From a different perspective perhaps (making and selling not buying). I have done multiple multiples:

And the beat goes on...

Enough Dave enough. But wait I'm only on page 30 of 91 pages on Imgur..........

Lol I like the Gina Carano reference

I have found when the time comes to replace something that I really like, it is usually discontinued and/or the price has inflated (ZT 0561, Buck Bravo). Also, some deals are just too good to pass up (auto Stryker for $40).

Benchmade- 4 Strykers, 4 Contegos, 3 940s, 2 Rifts, 2 710s

Buck- 4 Striders, 3 Vantages, 3 Nighthawks,
3 CSAR-Ts, 2 Bravos,

4 Gerber 06 autos
2 ZT 0561s
2 Western 49s
And a few others

I wish I could break the habit of buying duplicates of knives. But I like knowing I have two or three of my favorites.

I have too many Buck 110's of various variations.

Don't know why I got 2 gray Delicas. But I did. And I love them both. BTW, the Delica in VG-10 takes a super edge, even with just a strop.
