@SteelCityKnives it's close to 900. Around 670 traditional knives, the rest split between fix blades, modern knives hunting knives, and bayonets. FOMO, so true 🤪😁🤣😄
FOMO is definitely real.😆But I told myself back when I started actively collecting knives that they are a "want" not a "need". I've been pretty good about never letting a knife take priority over things that are necessities. But have there been times when I've wanted to spend my weekly grocery budget on an expensive knife that's in a limited run?? Abso-freakin-lutely.😂Have a great Sunday, my friend!
😂😂🤣😂 Love this comment, mate. We definitely should all keep in mind it's a want, not a need😅. Borderline addictions are going on for sure😂. Cheers, David. Have a good Sunday night! 👊
Thanks for the video. An interesting selection and choice of knives. I have some of those (I love ettricks). In the last few years I feel that I have refined my interests - consequently I have found that my budgets have drifted upwards.
Brilliant idea for a video,, 👍,, my (favourite) fomo, is the Spyderco Military, in S110v/blurple, I thought they'd discontinue it, once the Military 2, came out, and I really wanted the liner lock version,, so, fast forward 18months, and HH still have it in store, lol.. At least when I got mine, it was a hell of a lot cheaper,, 🎉,, anyway, it's one of my favourite most carried knives, and it's been out with me this morning for a long walk down the woods,, (no cops where I go,, 🤣🚶🤣)
See, that's another thing, John. All the knife prices seem to be going up also. I'm glad I bought a few when I did. That Otter Stag Boys knife is silly money now. Brilliant knife mate 🫡
I think we all suffer from this. When OKC folded, I thought I had to buy a Rat, even though I didn't need another locking knife. I just panicked that they'd disappear, before I'd ever owned one.
@@SteelCityKnives I need help.😁 Do we need to start Knives Anonymous. We'll have weekly meetings where we discuss our addiction and brothers can try to help us stay strong and fight the temptation to purchase. 😂
Great video! That's a wonderful canoe. I miss out on a lot of knives, just don't have the budget a lot, but it works out for me. I missed out on a light blue copper lock, so got a jack knife instead. Ended up trading it for a amber copperlock that looked way better.
I think trading is the way to go if budget is an issue for sure. I might have to start doing that soon! Hope you are well, brother. Miss our chats, mate. Hopefully, work will sloe down soon 👊
I really like your videos like this. They're from the collector's viewpoint. Not seen any other videos like these. Luckily I haven't got the Knife collecting bug...yet....
It definitely is now 😂! I really enjoyed your stockman collection video, Zen. Didn't know you were a chippie. I started off as a house basher before I got into engineering. I was an electrician 😂. Hope you're good, mate? 👊
I used to regularly check knife sites to see new designs or patterns, I would be very budget controlled though so kept to a price point, yes I missed out on many knives I would have liked, one other thing that is just as annoying is when you buy a knife then about six months later they are being sold much cheaper. Hope you get something nice for Christmas at least your family knows what to get you. 😁
Mate, I hate that in life when you buy something, and then a week later, there is a cracking deal on it! It's definitely good to have a budget in mind. Before youtube, I was very disciplined. It's gone out the window a bit now 😅. Need to rein it in a bit 😂. Cheers mate 👍
Well that was an excellent video/video idea! Those pieces are all up my alley, too! I have quite a few 'FOMO' knives, but very few 'missed-out' knives, which I'm rather happy about. There have been a few pieces that slipped through my fingers...sadly one of them was seized at the border. 😢 The others were understandable, as one was an auction GEC 38 in Bloodwood and the other was a Queen Cutlery (S&M) Pen Knife in gold lip pearl from their USA factory! Either way, this video would make for a great open tag. I really like the concept! Cheers, as always!
Good to hear from you, my friend. The GEC#38 is a stunning knife. I remember them doing that in a burnt orange jigged bone 😍. I'm a sucker for any Queen knife. It's funny how we all remember clearly the ones that get away 🤣. Hope you are well, mate? 🫡
Mine is good as gold to a point 😂. I'm usually out of the house, so they come through her. I'm sure she keeps a tally in her head 😅😂. Hope you're well, Paddy? 🫡
😂😂😂 Definitely, brother. We had a slow day yesterday at work. I was tidying my toolbox. I thought about sending you a video of the state of it after watching how immaculate yours was 😂 Hope you're good brother? 👊
I can confirm that FOMO is real 🤣🤣🤣 Missed so many knives over the years myself and it still happens! One thing that happens to me is several knives I want become available at the same time. Much as I’d like to buy the all, the reality is I have to make a choice…… not always easy 🤣 I can be impulsive too, so maybe waiting on something becoming available and then something else grabs me and I end up buying it 😀 Fantastic selection of knives for this one mate 🔥🔥🔥😎 Thanks brother 😎🙏🏻
I'm exactly the same.....I feel like they all come around at once. My problem is I'm not very good at making a choice, so buy the lot 😂. Getting better as time goes on.
Good evening 🌃I have seen FOMOknife.I actually saw it at a store, in a magazine, or on the mail order page of a knife store.That was many years ago.It's a simple and basic pocket knife, but I thought it was an attractive knife🎵 Well, anyway, it was introduced in Japan as well.I think it will become a tasteful item like a vintage guitar in mintcondition after begin used✨🎶Thank you for always introducing me to wonderful knives that surprise people✨😆✨‼️You are amazing😄✨!! ️
With knives..I often find myself bidding on auctions etc even though I know I cannot afford it! If it's gone - it's gone for good right? Now I tell myself that next week there will be another collection of great knife's on the market..and you know what? It's true!!
Where abouts are you based mate? UK or states, etc? I did my first auction a couple of days ago. That's some good advice for us all, definitely. Cheers mate!
@@SteelCityKnives G'day there Brother! Nice of you to reach out. Firstly I will say I have been watching your channel for a while now with pleasure, I myself am a big fan of vintage pocket knives from the original Steel City and modern traditional. And to answer your question the clue was in the intro; yes I am from down under, that often forgotten corner of the English speaking world - Australia 🇦🇺
Lovely knives and a great topic I would only add that at some point the logic that I will NEVER own every knife I want has to overcome fomo That said I have 214 in my collection God bless
Logic sometimes eludes me surrounding knives Terrill 😂😅. You have some amazing pieces in your collection, Terrill. I think when I have some special pieces, it might calm me down a bit. God bless, mate 🙏 🫡
If you snooze you lose! I dont mess about any longer! Love that Birch AW Lambsfoot, I went for the big brother of that Otter white bone but I am seriously considering its wee bro!
I nearly went for the bigger version. I love it, Ian. It's right up my alley. Otter still haven't gotten back to me with if they are going to stop making them. I've bought the stag now as well 😂
Brilliant video pal absolutely loved it , firstly can you please stop showing that Simmons in stag as that's one I should have bought 😡🤣, also I'll gladly take any ettricks you don't want 😉, and the boys knife pattern is definitely a firm favourite in my eyes such a beautiful simple pattern , more companies need to make them seems the Germans seem to appreciate it , iv absolutely no self restraint at all if I love the knife 🤣👊
My other problem is selling/trading knives 😂. I've made one short of the E.C Simmons knife just a bit more of a close-up of it. It's really well put together. With brilliant snap. I'll stop winding you up now😅. It'll be yours one day, I'm sure, mate. Working atm off Wednesday. So, hopefully, get some videos done. Thanks for the answer questions, mate. Any pictures you want to send with them....send them over, mate. 🫡
I've always wanted a 940. What do you make of it, Terrill? I missed out on some black Friday deals. Deliberated too much 🙄. Hope you're good, mate? God bless
I'm in the very fortunate(?) position of being retired, single, having no dependants and no mortgage on my house so money shouldn't really be a problem but I have other expensive hobbies to balance my finances with!!! 🤣🤣🤣Spent over £300 on a baby snake recently and don't get me started on the fishing rods and reels. I must admit to sitting on my computer early on a couple of Friday evenings so I could get certain Jack Wolf knives with the covers I wanted otherwise I don't worry too much.
My problem is seeing a review and then buying the knife .... Now I have a collection of nice knives but really not what I like! I have finally quit buying any non-vintage knives, and look for pre 1940's knives. I spend the same but like my collection a lot better!!
@@SteelCityKnives name Is Jess Millican, was going to post my 1st video last wed. But having problems with the editing. Will let you know when I show the 2 IXL I have (both are in never used condition)

I have not heard that one before but will be using it in the future 😂.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, mate! 😊
Careful, FOMO is contagious.
Definitely is! 😂
Hit the nail on the head. How many knives have I bought like that. 😅😂😊
I could imagine 😅. How many knives do you own? You must have an insane collection 😮?? Thanks for the comment mate! 🫡 👊
