I don't know how it happened. Well...I do, but it just sort of snuck up on me.
This morning, as I was getting dressed, I saw my Fiddleback Forge Bushboot. Normally carried 4-6 days a week, I hadn't belted it on in almost two weeks. Gotta wear that, I thought.
Heading over to where I keep my keys, I spied a new addition: a Case Sowbelly: my first big Case, first sowbelly, and first (traditional) stainless knife. We're still getting acquainted, so I had to slip that in my right rear pocket where it feels so right.
This made me remember I've actually got two other new additions (it's been a big month for knife acquisition, but not knife spending). I should get a group shot for the "New Acquisitions" thread. So the Schrade Walden small stockman went into my watch pocket, and the vintage Queen Peanut went into my right front pocket.
Since I was going to be bringing those two for a photoshoot during the day, I remembered I needed to bring my Schatt & Morgan Peanut that I really like but haven't bonded well with. That would make a great group pic for the Cult of the Peanut thread.
And then--without even thinking about it--my HJ7, my constant companion, dropped in my left front pocket with my keys, where it lives almost every single day.
......And that's how I found myself carrying six knives today.
No problem, I told myself. Extenuating circumstances, I said. So when I got home, I unloaded some of my blades, patted myself on the back and went about my evening... only then I noticed I WAS STILL CARRYING FOUR!!!
Not long ago, I laughed--nay! Guffawed!--at those of you carrying two or more knives. What has happened to me!?!?!
Or more interestingly, when did you first notice you were at the other end of a knife-related slippery slope?
