For some reason, over this winter I contracted a terrible case of KAS (Knife Acquisition Syndrome), closely related to GAS (Gun/Gear/Guitar Acquisition Syndrome).
It started when my fiancee bought me a s30v Blur for Christmas:
I love the Blue but the inserts are a little too rough for EDC, scuffing up my hand every time I reach on my pocket.
Worsened when I got a new job and decided to reward myself with a Mini-Barrage:
Absolutely love the Mini-Barrage
Then because I couldn't stand seeing such nice knives get crudded up by EDC duty, I rationalized buying a Leatherman e33l:
154cm Blade + Assembled in the USA + sub $30 price tag = AWESOME knife for daily duty.
I recently fell in love with the idea of a Franken Leek. I went and bought a Blue Anodized Leek (no pics yet) and then waited a bit and bought a G10 Leek. The G10 had to go back to be replaced because I was not happy in the condition it arrived (crushed box, dirt and grime around the clips screws and a slow/gritty opening). Hopefully I'll have a s30v Leek with Blue handles soon.
So that's my collection for now. I have a few knives on my wish list:
BM Presidio
William Henry E6
Himalayan Imports Kukri
A small Fixed Blade (still haven't settled, liking the ESEE 3 or Rat 3)
Emerson a-100 or mini-commander
and many many more.
I'm excited to become a member here, I just wish that I didn't have to add 092 onto my username (I'm Scurvy on a half dozen other forums but for some reason the system thinks Scurvy is a spammer name).
Cheers.

Thank goodness for good deals on a few of them!
