What is this obsession I have with small fixed blades?

The top one is a little skinner I've had since I was a kid (STAR?)
I also have a BM 210tk and a BM 210-1001 (not pictured)
And a little Damascus skinner R. Appleby is working on for me.

I have a few nice folders and a couple of big fixed blades and tomahawks, but someone tell me what my obsession is (Oh, and maybe what I need next)?

Very nice! Send them to me and I'll look out for them while you kick the habit and start buying folders. :D

I have a few small fixed blades - less steps to deploy.
 
I am totally hooked on Grahams and Kreins now. For the record, Robert Appleby is a dynomite guy too.He makes a great knife at a fraction of the cost. When I got his knife I couldn't beleive it was so nice for the money I paid. Props to him.
Now, for my next little fixed, I am thinking a Razel or a Krein PSK....
 
I did actually miss out on a good deal on one of those not too long ago. Looked like a good one!
 
I have a thing for small fixed blades right now too. Check out custom maker PML knives. He lists a lot of knives over on Jerzee Devil. I recently won his giveaway and recieved a nice little 2 1/2" cpm 154 wharnie with black ash handles and a nice leather sheath and absolutely LOVE it!
 
I saw that. Great looking little Warnie. The little Graham Warnie has been seeing a lot of carry lately too.
 
Down the road you could always add a Spyderco Street Beat...or for even cheaper a RIGID RG152MX Blackfoot Hunter.

Next? What about a Meercat from Arno-Bernard?

I'll second the Street Beat, it's possibly the most awesome small fixed blade I've ever handled. Or maybe check out Fiddleback Forge's Runt or EDC knives if you can't kick the habit.
 
I like them myself. I just picked up an old/new in box Schrade Sharpfinger. Next is the Boker/Krein Pocket Bowie. Nice collection.
 
Not sure about the Street beat. Something about it doesn't appeal to me. I would probably change my mind if I handled one though. I do have the Coye Ridgeback already on the short list though.

That's the way I felt until I had 3 diff guys mail them to me for sheaths. All three times I loved handling the knives. Just perfect in the hand. Still don't know if I'll ever buy one because I have my carry methods covered with the Sage1 and the Izula but every time I see one pictured I can appreciate it and remember the feeling. :D
A little temptation for you:
