What is the knife that you just cannot put down right now? It could be either a new knife you just bought, and haven't gotten over the honeymoon period yet, or a knife you rediscovered.

For me, I cannot stop playing with my Rift that I recurved

Stayed in my pocket quite consistently, it'll change as soon as I get my new purple kydex sheath made though, then I'll be carrying around my sterile 511 whenever I'm not at work.

Not that I'll stop carrying a folder of course, the fixed blade will just be within easier reach.

As to actually obsessed though... I normally stay obsessed with knives that I don't yet own, I thoroughly enjoy the knives I have and use them but I'd say my main focus is almost always on the other side of the fence where the grass is just slightly greener and more expensive.
 
LH Umnumzaan. I've been carrying a Sebenza almost exclusively for a while, and although I picked up the Umnumzaan only two weeks after the Seb, I didn't carry it nearly as much.
 
Spyderco Para-Military 2......I love the knife to death. Such an amazing knife for the $100.00 price tag.

I still like to flip my M4 Rift, though I'm glad mine doesn't have a recurve, and I have carried a Rift for years.

I still admire my gray Para 2, though I wish I still had my carbon fiber version to ogle but it was lost by my wife.

These will have to do for a while because with my mother in law being very sick and not having insurance I don't see myself buying a new knife for a long while.
 
Current obsession is my Umnumzaan but true obsession for me is a custom Demko AD-10 of which I'm hoping to have one in 2012 sometime
 
I dont have it yet, but I am seriously obsessed with the Chris Reeve Ti-Lock... I am ordering it on Oct 27 (yes i made up my mind :D)

The knife I currently own that I am completely enamoured over is my Chris Reeve Umnumzaan. It is just an amazing knife. Its my EDC, and my work knife.
 
I am obsessed with whatever my newest knife is, regardless of how it compares to my best knife. When I get a new one I tinker around with it until I get it how I want it, then I do maintenance of all of my knives. Bit of a strange progression, now that I think about it.
 
I've been doing the same thing for years Coldkill.

Lately I've been carrying my BM LFTi around like a kid with their teddybear. I even sleep with it under my pillow and that's no joke.

Spyderco's Dragonfly II

I loved the design of the Dragonfly from the second I first laid eyes on one, but being not so much a fan of clips, refused to buy the original. I almost picked up the G-10 version on a number of occasions, but always managed to find a way to talk myself out of it (willpower +1!) As soon as I heard they had released the new and improved FRN version, in went the order. It has resided in my pocket for around-the-house-carry every waking moment since it arrived for months now, yet it's so light and slim that I am rarely reminded of that fact. Great little knife!
 
another + for the Para 2.

just got my black blade/digicam today, and the compression lock is awesome. my favorite locking system so far. my index finger is sore from opening it and closing it all day.
 
I am in another Grip frenzy. About once a month I just fondle my Griptilian for 2 days straight, such a great design.
 
Vic Classic. It's so easy to ignore that little guy. Then you put in your pocket, and realize it's insanely functional.
