New years resolution thread knives edition

[DangerZone98]

Ok good. Because I did, too, but was reluctant to say anything.

Of all the places online, I’m making an educated guess that you’re least likely to be judged here for buying a knaff.

My new years resolution will be ---
My "last" knife will literally be my last knife,
And that knife doesn't exist yet

And most likely never will...

Not so many Spyderco knives. I'm trying to diversify.
More knives under 4 oz weight.

In 2026, I am resolved to expand my collection of WW-II era GI pocket folders. By that, I mean those Boy Scout like camp knives that were issued to the troops. I currently have one in the style issued to Marines and one with the extra Phillips Head bit issued to the 10th Mountain Division to adjust ski bindings.

My short goal is to get one each these "Engineer's Kn ives" marked for the Army (UAS) the Navy (USN) and the Marines (USMC on a brass disk). A see-it-and-buy-it goal is to find one marked for the Navy Medical Service.

Long term, I may look to buy duplicates in better condition and to find knives from the various makers.

A parallel effort will be to find so-called "Demo" knives marked for each service.

I find it intregueing to note that amid the chaos and effort to equip our troops with whatever shoots and shoes to wear, someone figured out that they also need a pocket knife.

My Late this Year and upcoming New Year Knife(s) Resolution is buy / spend more on custom made knives and goods by members of this forum, and less on mass production knives.

Mass produced knives are great, and absolutely have a place in the industry and in my lineup. However, I currently have zero small batch / one off custom knives and want to change that..

We All get to This stage eventually....haha.
Welcome aboard!

 

[EatingSarma]

I will put more knives into kitchen use.

We All get to This stage eventually....haha.
Welcome aboard!

And then some of us, (I'm not naming names, Blues), go back again. (Though not to the exclusion of handmade or customs.)

I resolve to carry the expensive ones...

You and me both, starting with this one

 

[Delgadonine]

My New Years Resolution is to spend an entire year coming up with one. What happens between now and then will involve a few Bucks, er calculations.

 

[Alberta Ed]

I resolve not to cut myself... oops!

 

[braillediver]

I need a tomahawk.

Thanks for the reminder.

 

[Monofletch]

You all are a bunch of enablers!!!!

…..and I appreciate it!!!

2025 was good except for the tornado damage, but we getting through it. I was fortunate enough to have the forum to help keep my mind occupied.

 

[Ron Texas]

I should stop watching Metalcomplex.

 

[BP Green]

Resolutions are for suckers. I embrace my manly immaturity and reckless lack of self control.

 

[yamsi12]

In 2026 I will not buy any more knives.

We will see how long it lasts….
