"Why do you need more than one knife?"

Why do you need more than one Tshirt, bluejeans, pair of shoes, girlfriend, CD, book,...... ..... ....

I am a collector.
I have so many that nobody asks.
The question I do face from time to time is:" why do you need another knife?".
Well, darling....

Necessity has nothing to do with it.

Why do you want more than one?

I want and have more than one because I like them.

If they understand not, extract from them a promise to wear a knife daily for a month, then give them a knife to do so, that usually does the trick.

If they say that it is dangerous, re-acquaint them with the realities of driving, and the dangers thereof.

My answer to my wife just last night: "Well, I need one to cut with, a small one to cut with if any scared people are around, one to never use, one to never throw to distract the bad guy that I'll never meet." (yeah, I know, bad tactics; I wouldn't really do that, but it got a laugh out of her). And, I need multiples of each type, because I need a set to carry to work, a set to carry around the house, a set to carry over the weekend, a set to carry at church, and one to carry on the airliners. Plus, I need one in each of those sets that will absolutely, positively, never fail me (still trying to find that one). Add all those up, and I'm way behind, and getting behind-er every day!

Besides, she collects baskets....

I tend to put each purchase into a category, some are pratcial, while others are for the pleasure of owning a dressy knife. Case in point is the William Henry Pearl Lancet I just received, I already had the Rainbow series Spearpoint but felt I just needed the pointy version of his knives and the pearl was something I've always wanted.

Some knives are easy to explain, the SAK's each have their uses and several different ones aren't a problem with the wife, but the others just never make sense to her.

So each day I choose a different knife as a cameo appearance for my work day and that way it never grows old for me, though I usually carry more than one, hmmm lets see, today I've 8 knives in my pockets with 3 in my coat, what's a body to do?

This one just happened to me three days ago at work. One of the two gentlemen I was working with asked if I had any fingernail clippers. I told him that I didn't but that I did have a knife that would do the trick if he wanted to use it (referring to the Ladybug that is my newest addition to my daily carry). I handed him the Ladybug which he thought was incredibly cool. He knows that I carry knives around and asked me why I always had a knife. I told him because I'd rather have a knife when I don't need to cut something, than to not have one when I do need to cut something. I said "in fact, knives are so practical, I always carry two." He got surprised and said, "Two? Why on Earth would you need two?" He was still using (and admiring) the Ladybug. I looked at him and said, "Because that one is too small to cut really big stuff with and this one is too big to cut your fingernails with." I pulled out my Ascent 830 which I always carry. (I might add that the 830 does actually do pretty well with fingernails, but I didn't want him to try it). He started to see my point when the other gentleman that we work with chimed in, "I carry two pocket knives too." Suddenly the doubting person was in the minority.

People don't appreciate someone carrying a knife, until they need something cut, and you can offer them yours.

Maskwa: You're better off than me. I NEED to buy many more knives and can't seem to stop buying them!
