Welcome!

That’s not too many so you shouldn’t feel bad, however if you decide to keep looking around these forums it’s certainly possible that you could end up with too many.

If that happens consider doing what I have done a couple of times for my wife and kid and plan to do again this Christmas for my son’s girlfriend.

Wrap up a few knives that you’re willing to part with, put them all in a box, then let your friend/relative whoever CHOOSE which ONE they like best out of the bunch. Just make sure to make the rules clear before they open the box so they aren’t disappointed when they realize they aren’t getting ALL the knives…

These are the knives she’ll get to pick from:

Also I just cut my thumb putting the Swamprat back in it’s pants. :D

Are most members on this forum in the US? I bought the EKA because I was looking for a Tanto blade with a part serrated blade. It came up as one of only 6 on Knives and Tools (good EU seller), on a ridiculous sale. I wasn't liking it at first, but taking off the pocket clip made it a lot better, so I took the pocket clips of my FKMD Predator and ER MF0 D, which also became much better (once I'd removed the glass breaker from the ER)

Italian's it seems make good Knives, I'm a fan of the Fox knives operation in Maniago. But they don't make what I'm after.

If you ever buy an ER folder, go for the "Rough" handle finish, much much better grip.

Looking through this forum I've found loads of American manufacturers I'd never heard of. Can anyone recommend a tough folder with a partly serrated Tanto blade?

Welcome to BF P peso7 ,
right now you think you don’t need all those knives, there may come a time when you’ll regret letting one go. After all, there’s a reason you’ve chosen the ones you have.
The question is, which knife do you use the most?

If me, I'd keep the bottom two, maybe the top one.

As for the one with serrations ... it depends on who gave it to me. I detest/loathe serrations, so there is no way I would have intentionally bought it. If I made a "oops" and ordered the serrated version thinking I ordered the pain edge, I would have given it way ASAP after opening the box.
If someone important gave it to me ... family ... for example, I'd keep it in a drawer or something, but rarely to never carry or use it. If asked: "Because you gave it to me, and I don't want to lose or break it!"
