Justify to whom?
My dogs do not care.
My X is still supportive of my addiction.
My old friends have known for 20 years at least.
My newer friends just shake their heads in disbelief.

I agree with Phil BOYS NEED (COOL) TOYS. Other reasons: Because I can!, You never know when you will need a knife (or 10), I appreciate the craftsmanship, it feeds my man the hunter/warrior urge, uuhhhmm I like shiny things, uuhhm help fellas. These reasons haven't convinced me yet let alone my suffering wife.......

It is a knife for the kitchen! To further justify the point, my son uses an SRK as his table knife, I use a CS XL voyager, and I prep food with a SOG Government.
The irony of this is that I am finally getting a real kitchent knife some day - Rinaldi's TTKK.
Also, knives make handy letter openers and are needed around the house for chores. Who wouldn't want a Busse to hack down uninvited weeds or stray branches from a tree.
And yes, I will need a Sebenza some day for those rare times when I have to wear business casual clothes.

1. I might actually want to cut something.
2. I get dirt under my fingernails on occasion.
3. Its pretty pathetic, IMHO, for a man to not carry the most basic tool known to humans.
4. They are fun to play with.
5. My Daddy always carried a knife and his daddy before him. If it was good enough for him...
6. Ever taken a good look at most guys who don't carry knives? Thats reason enough for me.

Great reply! And all too true. I particularly like your number three. It amazes me to watch men (in particular, hey I was brought up in a society where a man carried a pocket knife. Sorry, if I'm not PC) try to open packages, etc. with anything but a knife. Then have the gall to ask me for a knife. One guy at work did this (my fault, I should have asked what he wanted to use it for) and then proceeded to use the fine tip on my Mini-Dyad as a prybar! Get a knife and learn how to use it, sheesh!
And number 5 is too true also. I got all my early knives from my Dad. He didn't even worry about telling me to be careful; knives were a part of life - like fire - and everyone just knew to be careful.
My reason: I carry a knife because I want to. I collect them because I want to. Last time I checked, that was all the reason I needed.
Man, I hope this didn't sound like a rant

Selling them brings home the bacon, jewelry, clothes, etc.
That one works real good.

A well armed man has no need to justify anything.

All these to my wife who is the only one asking why I need more knives.
10. My razor broke and I need a shave.
9. I don't have one with a white handle to match your new china.
8. My Doctor says I need another knife to lower my blood pressure or I'll die.
7. My boss says I need a new knife for work or I won't get a raise.
6. I have 31 knives and you know I can't stand odd numbers.
5. The next door neighbor challenged me to a game of Mumbly Peg and I bet our house.
4. One more knife, and I swear my collection will double in value.
3. You know that pretty woman who moved in next door? Well, she says I should have another knife.
2. I need a special knife to fix the fretanator hose in the himbadingus unit or the doggone pilot primer will blow up.
1. I'm only using my money.

What I tell my wife: nothing, she knows they make me happy and I'd never financially ruin us over them.
What I tell the tree hugging, knee jerking, whining liberals: Because that's the beauty of America, I can carry almost any one I like and there is no limit to how many I can own.
