I love those threads where people tell what they're carrying, and what their favorites are, so...
What'd you get? I promise not to tell your wife;)
What are your favorites?
I keep a running list. Just to keep track, maybe, and maybe to discourage me from buying more (doesn't work, so don't bother).
Anyway, by month, here's where some of my spare cash flew away to this year:
1/01--BK&T Brute (traded)
2/01--CRK small Sebenza
3/01--DDR CF EDC
------Busse Natural Outlaw (sold)
4/01--Camillus 154CM Talon
5/01--DDR Apogee
------Busse Basic 3 (sold)
6/01--Blackwood small Hunter (traded)
7/01--BK&T Patrol Machete
8/01--DDR CF ArcLite
------Strider MFS-TS (donated)
------Dozier Razorback (traded)
9/01--Leatherman Wave
------Victorinox Cadet
10/01-Emerson CQC-7B (sold)
------Emerson Commander (sold)
11/01-CRK lrg. Sebenza
------Doug Mondt GMC (small fixed utility in 10V)
------Camillus D2 ArcLite
12/01-BM 806D2 Axis AFCK
Arriving this month?
-BK&T BK-7 Combat/Utility
-TH Rinaldi Gambit (man, I'm going nuts knowing this is coming!)

So far, the DDR EDC and ArcLite are my favorites, though I have high hopes for the Gambit. And I love the little Mondt GMC, and the small Sebenza, and the Patrol Machete, and the...ok, who am I kidding here? I wish I had all the ones I sold or traded back, too:o

How about you?
 
2001 marked the beginning of my interest in knives.

On a whim, I bought a Kershaw Vapor at a gun show.
I had no real interest in knives before that time.
Investigating whether I had gotten a good deal on
the Vapor led me to this site. As a consequence :D,
over the last few months, the Vapor has been followed by:

BM710
BM880
Al Mar SERE 2000
BM720
Buck Vanguard IonFusion - crappy steel I realize,
but I thought it looked cool :)
 
February was the beginning of the end for me.

When I added up all the costs, I almost S___!

Wouldn't give up a single one of them except the Buffalo Hunter. As you can see, my tastes are varied, from old traditional slip joints, and leather handled hunters to high tech, like the Snody and the Microtech. Gotta love it!

Sold a lot of nice knives that I simply didn't carry much. I try to avoid becoming a "collector," so if they don't go in the pocket, I generally sell them to finance other purchases. The only one I really regret? The full-sized Calypso. I really like that VG-10 steel.
 
These are just the ones that I have kept:

Fowler pronghorn
Fowler Fawn
Goshawk hunter
A. Draper hunter
Doggett hunter
Doggett folder
Denning little "c"
Emerson neck knife

Strider EB-T
Hossom fighter
Huffman trapper
RJ Martin Quickening
Spyderco native
Mad Dog ATAK

I have traded and sold about 15 others. I am glad the "other half" does not know about this site or she would kill me.
