"Why do you have so many knives!" how many have heard this?

"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!

How should I know? I don't stalk...er Surveil people as some think its stalking.

I did have to loan out one of my strong arms yesterday because they lost their many 3 figured knife when their boat flopped over. It was the only knife he had because he blew all his knife money on one knife. Also gave his kid an RD6 to keep. He had to decide on his pack or mother's rat dog. Think he saved the rat dog to PO his old man.
 
Great posts! Just buy before we are all paying $6.00 a gallon for gas! Hoping Sog has that Trident FX out by July. Nice looking pig sticker with Kydex sheath. My next purchase anyway.
 
Those of you who are annoyed by the "why do you have so many knives?" question should keep that in mind when you feel like asking one of our own "why do you carry so many knives at the same time?"
 
The only person asking that question is me and I had no answer. So I sold off a few dozen and now I can sleep at night! 😁

When I was younger, I collected the cards but never played. Two years ago, my pals and I (aged 21 to 23) all of a sudden became obsessed. More money than I'll ever be ready to acknowledge was lost playing cards by us. Since I'm away pursuing my master's, my fiance and I now play together via webcam.

When I get asked that question, my reply is that it is an alternative to loose women, drugs ,running the bars and staying out of jail. Not that there’s anything wrong with doing those things, it’s just that I’d rather buy knives.
 
I've always loved tools and used them as part of my previous job (carpenter). It gave me an "excuse" to buy lots. Same with knives of which are all used. People that know me just accept it I guess.
