"Why do you have so many knives!", I'm sure many people have heard this one...
For me its having some knives at various places where they are needed and will be there when I or relatives go there. From my 5160 large choppers to my spare folding hunting knives (I usually tell their kids to take), and a few to give away as a present or odd relative or friend who is going to some where they would need a decent type of knife who only ever carried a small one on their multi-tool. After hearing over 75% of those people I gave a knife to, the minimum of one being told it got them out of a tight spot to get home I'm glad I gave them one. I usually gave away OKC RD6s, cutting branches and such to get under the tires when stuck in a blizzard was the last one some one told me they were glad to have then"Car Knife".
And I like Back Ups. To many canoes have gone over loosing some, or some one made me forget where the knife was at the time so I grab the back up where I know where that one is.
And also...I got a few blades that were discontinued...yes I'm guilty of getting some of my favorite knives before they go bye bye. But things like plan to have an RD Tanto converted to a drop point while keeping decent metal on it, is an idea of a mod or two I got for them.
And just because I like them! BUT NOT UNDER GLASS!
