Question What to do with knives I don’t carry?

Thumbnail

153 Upvotes

I’ve been collecting for a couple of years. I eventually climbed the ladder up to Koenig, Skiff, Grimsmo, Rob Johnson’s, Hog House, Herman, Holt, and similar. While I’ve carried them all to various degrees I never found myself that comfortable using them. They pretty much just sat and got admired and fidgeted with.

Now, I usually carry one of these 2 Sebenza’s, which both have a DOB matching my sons. The small will eventually become his and I’ll hang onto the large. I want these knives to collect memories and stories to become even more meaningful heirlooms.

So the other knives basically have no chance of carry and I don’t find myself enjoying them as much. But the idea of parting with them also isn’t that appealing either. I have a DLC Dragon Rask, a stonewashed Skiff Fugitive, Holt Specter gen 4, and a Herman Sting. Anyone else find themselves falling both in and out of love with their collection at times and feel a bit stuck? Maybe it’s time to move on to another hobby and let someone else enjoy these.

NSFW I just watch my 9.3” crooked river get snagged and I’m bummed.

I worked 16.5 hrs, commuted 1 1/2 hrs home. Showered did laundry and jetted out the door to catch my flight with the wife for a vacation. I brought my work back pack and thought I took everything out. Didn’t check a zipper compartment and forgot my crooked river was in there TSA just scored. It hurts, guys.

Also, we shuttled in and no checked bags.

Sent this in on April 30. Got it back today. I would’ve had it 2 weeks sooner if I didn’t keep forgetting to call and pay for new o-rings and return shipping. I’ll post the before in the comments if Reddit will let me. It wouldn’t let me post both videos in the OP.

Discussion I can see the real appeal of guards now

Came from run and saw some nice dry sticks to use as a fire starter for my grill and my first stick I was about to prep my hand slipped from the handle and slide down the blade. Resulting in said picture; bad grip, sweaty hands and being tired was the culprit in my opinion. But now it has me wondering and considering a folding knife with a guard like the Project X. Feel free to let me know of recommendations or if you had similar instances of your hand slipping down to the blade.

I recently got two new Kershaws and decided to pair each of my knives with a watch to select a new set for an EDC. I’m pretty fond of my set up.

Today’s carry is on the side—the Rough Ryder ReserveBar Back and the Seiko World Time.

The two new knives are the Dessert Warrior and the 2040.

The Sheffield lad in me always enjoys a good AW knife to remind me where I came from since I live in NL now and since it's made by a mate from high school it's pretty cool to have anyways!

Rough Ryders are always a nice cheap option that always seem to have nice fit and finish in my experience while looking pretty cool.

The Benchmade 940-2 is not really new but I love the blade shape. Getting another Benchmade wasn’t an easy choice but I’m definitely not disappointed. This knife is tough, sharp and comfortable right out of the box. If anything I like the handle more than the blade and I truly love the blade
