It is soooo good to know that I am not alone...
I have been scratching that itch but I'm just not done. I will be picking up my ZT0550 and Mini Bone collector (my first ever BM!) in about a month's time when I'm back in the States. Tantalizingly, they are waiting for me at the office over there yet despite that I have two odd yearnings;
Folder: Sage 1 (or 2)
Fixed: ESEE 3
Now here's where this just doesn't make sense - I already have several (i.e. enough) folders close to the Sage. Think Spyderco Junior, UKPK x 2(!), Para 2, Dragonfly. Less similar, ZT0350, ZT0200, HEST 2.0, RAT 1, etc. I just don't need a Sage but she keeps on calling to me...
Similarly, I have more than enough circa 4 inch fixed blade knives. Think BRKT Bravo 1, Canadian Special, Bushcrafter, Blackjack 125, Blackjack Tac-Ops 4, Barkniven F1, etc. I even have a few circa 3 inch knives like the BRKT Rising Wolf, Mini Fox River, Lil' Canadian, Woodland Special, etc. So why I would fixate on the ESEE 3 is almost beyond me.
I like to think that I don't have any Safe Queens (not that there is anything wrong with that!) but whilst they do get rotated they don't see half the action that they should. I've even resorted to giving a few of them away to close friends. Purely, to allow them to enjoy quality tools, not to get them hooked like me or anything.... honest(!)
I need help!
