Hey,
I'd like to present my small, unintentional knife collection. A few are no longer here, the ones that started it all years ago. But what we see here – I've been collecting for several years – as I wrote, without the intention of creating a collection. Suddenly, I realized how much I have. Secondly, I'm currently upgrading in various areas of my life, going through my possessions – getting rid of old, questionable items and replacing them with one good item. I recently replaced my laptop and refreshed my watch collection. Time for knives.
From the top:
Swiss Army Knife Camper – a thoughtful, conscious purchase. I've had Chinese knockoffs since I was a kid. I love "you know what TV show," so when I had a little extra money, I bought it. It's my newest knife. Always in my pocket (EDC).
Kershaw Shuffle II – also a conscious purchase; I like the shape and the fact that it has a bottle opener. I often carry it in my pocket (with a clip).
CRKT Drifter – I found it, it was waiting for me, obviously. It's been used a lot. I'm glad I found it, because I know it's not very comfortable for me (grip, look).
Gerber Paraframe Mini – I was looking for a small knife, and this one is perfect. Very, very small. Honestly, I don't use it, but the design is beautiful and solidly made. I like it.
Leatherman Wingman – technically it's not a knife, but it has a blade 😉 Seriously, it's one of the best purchases ever. I use it often, but I rarely carry it because it's "heavy."
Muela ? – the oldest of my surviving knives. I keep it for nostalgia. I bought it in Spain. If it had a clip, I would. Sometimes I kept it in my pocket, but now it's a SAK.
Solognac SIKA Grip 90 – a budget knife from a chain outdoor store. I have it in case I need to use it for heavier tasks. I don't think I've ever used it. Good thing it was cheap. I think it's starting to rust. Or maybe it's dirt, I don't know. It fits nicely in my hand. Sometimes I have to pick it up and hold it. 😀
Technically, I understand there's nothing interesting to look at. The steel is probably awful, I don't know—maybe only the Leatherman is made of something more solid?
I'd like to spend a maximum of $300 on something nice, small, with top-of-the-line materials, and after a little research, I chose the Benchmade Mini Bugout 533-3 (the one with carbon fiber). Is there anything better in that price range? You see what I have—it'll probably be like moving from an old car to a new car.
Is anything in my collection worth listing and selling? They weren't too expensive, so if I'm going to get some change, I don't know if I'll even bother listing them.
