Hey everyone.

I just wanted to share share my current collection and thoughts and want to hear what everyone thinks.

These is my current collection

- Mnandi
- Small Sebenza 21 w/ Micarta Inlays
- BM 860 Bedlam
- ZT 452cf
- BM 51
- Microtech SBK

- Large Sebenza 21 w/ Carbon Fiber inlays

The one knife I have incoming (should be here by next week) is the CKF Milk

The knives I am looking at getting are
- Chris Reeve Ti-Lock
- Chris Reeve Nyala
- ZT 850 (when it releases)

I am thinking about selling my 860 Bedlam. I love the knife, love the blade shape, but think the handle is too big. It is too rediculous to carry around based on where I live, and that blade shape niche is getting filled by the Microtech SBK. I might sell the ZT 452CF as well- I really love that knife but the CKF Milk might fill that niche while being a better EDC carry option. I like the Ti-Lock right now because I don't have a little-large knife. Smaller than the Large Sebenza and bigger than the Small- plus it is an art knife that looks to be great as an EDC option. My knife needs aren't heavy or tactical whatsoever so I have been really into knives that are equally good at 'art knives' and being useful and functional cutting tools. I think with these new ones it will round out my collection and I will have a knife for any and every occasion.

Do you guys see anything I might be missing or not exactly seeing? What do you guys think?

What kind of knife are you missing in your collection and what would you give up / sell to get it?
 
No Spydercos there? That would be my first recommendation. I'm sure most people will tell you to try a PM2. I'm not a big fan of the PM2 but absolutely adore my Spyderco Techno. There's also the new Para3.

I'm not a fan of the spydie hole.. though I do like the Slys Bowie. that would be a contender instead of the new ZT 850.
 
During 2017, if you see a Ferrum forge knife that you like, I would snatch it up. They are great high quality EDC knives!! They come out with a new model every month or so. Good steel, HT, edge geometry, and ergonomics! I have a bunch of other knives, but my FFKW blades always steal their pocket time.
 
Yes, go for the Techno and the Slysz Bowie; also the Brad Southard AVO.
ZT 452cf.
You have some nice knives coming. You have a small and large Sebbie. I don't see how you can use both sizes of CRK, but that's just me. The small is less than 4" closed length, and it falls out of my hand when I go to close it.

I have small / medium hands so it fits my hand just fine.
 
I personally would sell the balisong but that's just me.
Are you in an auto friendly State?
One word..Protech if you have never owned an auto (and would like one).
 
Very nice collection. Can't argue with more CRKs. How about a couple nice traditional/slipjoints too?

Where do you live if you don't mind me asking ?
The Bedlam is a nice knife, please let me know when you want to sell it.

I like in IL USA.

Bedlam is really nice, but its not feasible to carry around the house, and I would probably rather have the fixed blade Microtech around the house for that anyway.

I want to stay away from autos. The balisong is one I just got. I really like it, I just wish it had a better steel than D2. Its my show knife, so is my Bedlam. I don't think I should have more than two show knives though.
 
SAK's are always fun and so cheap you don't have to stress over them until it becomes an addiction.

Buck 110 is too heavy imo for an EDC
Click to expand...

I'm 5'6" tall and 115lbs, and my buck 110 in the nice piece of leather that it came with doesn't even get noticed on my side. They knew that it was a little big and a bit heavy for in pocket carry when they made it so that's why it comes with a nice piece of leather.
That's okay if you think it's heavy for edc ( no clue what your point is though ) ,but there's a chance that anyone may love to occasionally edc the buck 110 if they give it a try.
 
I can't stop looking at new knives to buy.. And my standards are getting higher and higher. Little imperfections or small nitpicks I have make me want to sell a knife even though it can be functionally perfect.
