So I have this issue... I have a giant collection of knives, folders and fixed of all sizes and pricepoints. Some I will never part with and some I look at but just cant seem to convince myself I need to keep. Once I start duplicating size and or philosophy of use I start getting the urge to flip some of the multiples to try new stuff. My gear room is an ever revolving door of sharp stuff! The secretary at my work is always like. Riz! You got another package. My coworkers know I am the knife guy... I sharpen all their blades for them. Everytime a new box arrives the judgingly ask "Another Knife!" I say yes and then the promptly say LEMME SEE! One of my buddies grabbed my 5.1 Starter box, cut the tape and opened it! I think they get more excited to see whatI have ordered than I do! I have even turned two of em into knife knuts like me!


I have a necker, a necker 2, a 3.5, an old 5.1 and old DLC 7/7 and a 3V and 20Cv new 5.1

The 3.5 Ill never part with. Its my most used. The new 5.1s will never go... The old 5.1 maybe... The 7/7 a strong maybe and the necker 2 is also a strong maybe... Theres some non S!Ks too! I have and early Les George VECP and a Sebenza 25 that are great blades but everytime I pick them up all I can think is that they need to go. Theres other stuff too. Its like they are quietly whispering to me...

"Help! I deserve to be carried, to cut stuff, to see the light of day! You dont deserve me. Sell me, sell meeee, send me to someone who will let me work!"


I cant stop myself... Its like a disease. And do I save the cash I get from the sales? No way! More sharp art!


Who feels my pain?


IGNORE MY TYPOS...TIRED OF EDITING

Funny thing too... I am secretly picky about who I sell to. I wish I could make them fill out an adoption application and do a home visit to make sure they care for their blades properly, but that they will get used too!

Weird
 
I have a very hard time letting them go and usually only do so if it's a true duplicate... My ash-1 collection is kinda stupid but each one is "different". I have let a 20cv 4.1, a bm snody 201, and a NMFSH go and am "ok" with it but I had a lot of trepidation... Simply put, I know I should let some go but have a horribly hard time doing it....
 
My problem is that once they have said they wanna go, they are freed to a new home. I never have a problem selling them. I only regret it like two years later. In fact, after typing the original post in this thread, I realized that 2 of em are going up for sale tonight. Cant decide... Facebook or forums... Damn I wish we had our own lil sales forum
 
You're not the only one. I got rid of almost every knife when I caught the Survive! bug. An adoption process sounds like a great idea for these knives!

No names yet........ Yet.


Prolly gonna move the version 1 VECP at a loss, the Sebby 25 also at a loss (but its gotten used a good bit and has lots of snail trails on the finish). It got replaced by my Version 3 Les George VECP (the knife I cut my youngest child's umblical cord with. That will never get sold). The S!K necker 2 and the black 7/7. The necker 2 never gets used because I always reach for te regular necker first. I love the 7/7, but it turned out to be too big and takes up too much room and adds too much weight to my armor. Plus I have 3 5.1s, which I always end up realizing is my perfect big knife! Just on the maximum end of the size I like to carry. But completely capable of doing everything I want big or small.
 
Selling your knives? Gasp!

I keep acquiring (8 S!Ks on order) but have yet to sell any guns, knives, or fly rods -- though occasionally I'll give one away to family members or friends.

Good thing I'm not into collecting airplanes or I'd need a bigger house!
 
Guns and fishing rods would NEVER EVER GET SOLD. Even if I had ten of the same one.

I have been toying with the idea of building a specific and well speced AR, and that might force my hand a bit with regards to holding on to knives even though there isn't a single true duplicate.... Well...I'm sure I could spare some...

That said, the Survive! "Panel" will be safe
 
That very well might be one of the sellable ones, I have another coming, and while they will have different handles they will essentially be the same

Here's an interesting AR for you.

Cool but that bitch is almost ten pounds loaded. Sling that beast around your neck! A high capacity 12 gauge with 00buck would be just as affective.

That thing is cool though

I thought it was a joke at first! It's definitely a novelty item for rich dudes.
