So as it stands i have about a dozen knives all of witch are good, my collection is not high end but i feel as if there is something missing ,that be all end all knife.the ultimate EDC
the closest thing to that for me would be my small Sebenza or my Case Mako.

Dose any one else have that void type feeling?
 
i do, im torn deciding what is the knife for me, my collection isnt customs or striders, crk, more spyderco benchmade zt knives, and have a hard time deciding what to carry most the time. i keep switching out everyday or few days, its frustrating! but they are all such great knives!

I get that kind of empty, void feeling too sometimes when I wake up on a cold morning and roll over, expecting to see her sleeping soundly beside me, feel the brush of her long auburn hair under my hands, and smell her flowery shampoo...but when I rub the sleep from my eyes and the empty room comes into focus, I remember that she's been gone for months now, and all I feel are the cold, unwrinkled sheets on the other side of the bed. Then the curtains flutter as a chilled breeze creeps through the room, the smell of flowers slips away, and that memory, too, leaves me.

Then that void feeling sinks in, like a big pocket of cold air in my diaphragm that twists and gnaws at my guts, and I go downstairs to make some oatmeal. :(
 
I think most people here have that void and that is why people keep buying/selling. To find the perfect one. But will never find it..
 
I feel a void in my bank account from buying knives I thought I wanted but didn't really need and later regretted purchasing.

Fortunately I got over that particular illness.
 
Right now my ZT 0301 has filled most of that void. But I just placed an order for a Spyderco Military and a Benchmade Bedlam, both knives are appealing to me and I hope that one of them will fill my void.
 
I don't have a void so much as a grail. Right now it's a ZT 0777, but the likelyhood of me actually getting my grubby little paws on one is pretty slim. Aside from that my main wants are an older gen CRK 'Zaan, an Insingo (not sure if I want a large or small), and a couple of Hinderers. A BF special Rift is also on the list.
 
I know the feeling you are talking about... and you must fight it. :D :D :D

Seriously, I have multiple "ultimate" EDC knives. I have a Case Mini-Copperlock, I have a Spyderco Delica4 FFG, I have a Wenger Soldier, I have a Buck CSK 501 in jigged buffalo horn, etc. And you know what? They are all fantastic EDC knives that will last a lifetime. And yet, sometimes I see something so damn sexy, that I think I want to have it, and I say to myself, "Damn... that is the one." But I know better. There is no one. There is only my mind playing tricks on me. Because they could all be the one.
 
Totally have that. I have lot's of high-end slipjoints (discontinued USA Schrades, and lots of Case knives) but my lockblades are lacking.
I hope to be purchasing a ZT300 within the next month or 2 to help that feeling go away (for a month or so. :D)
Until then, my Benchmade Griptilian will do just fine.

no i dont have any benchmades at all, but am looking at getting one.

i guess it is something i need to get over, most of my collection i dont use, i pulled out my spyderco persistence the other night to look at and the steel had some rust spots on it from just sitting i my knife container.

((thats that cheap Chinese steel (8cr13mov)))

listen to some Taylor Swift brah!
 
I don't think it's about one knife but finding a system of knives that really works for you. After all, you can't really expect one tool to work well for every task.

This is also a good excuse to buy more knives! :D
