      Less than a week ago a friend gifted me his very first knife, a Boy Scout multibladed knife made in the 50’s. I started carrying and using it the very first day, and I’m blown away by how much I’ve already come to depend on the various tools it has. Covered head to toe in a light layer of rust, but it’s trucking just fine!

      @@woahitstheillusion9749 it's far more than just buying knives or even collecting them. Buying, selling, trading, interacting with the community and its people. Knives have different blade shapes, different steels, different handle materials, different locks, different sizes, and different purposes overall. There's so much to learn about them, whether it be the world of production knives, or custom knives, or maybe even art knives.
      It's a hobby no different than cars, guns, watches, etc. There is simply a lot more nuance to the hobby that one might think at first glance.
      Some of the best friends I've made are people in the knife hobby.

    If I had to drop down to one knife it would be rough but I have a Bob Dozier 4" drop point fixed blade with a crossdraw kydex sheath. I bought it from a great guy I met at a gun show who had kind of taken me under his wing as far as knife education. He has since passed but that knife will always hold a special place in my heart & collection.

    My EDC rotation: I went a little overboard and bought a lightly used Slysz Bowie for $425, but I’ve been carrying it since I bought it last week and I picked up some brass standoffs off eBay. 2nd place is the Smock in 20cv with white micarta scales, 3rd is the forest green PM2 in cts204p.

    • @formationit5039
      @formationit5039 4 года назад +1

      I did the same thing and don't regret it. I love Spyderco knives and having a Bowie is the top onlf that game. People say don't pay secondary prices but I would rather have the Bowie at $450 than a ton of other knives that are priced that much.

    • @fightingwrestler
      @fightingwrestler 4 года назад

      formationIT Exactly, it’s worth what someone is willing to pay. I’ve bought and sold sebenzas many times, just not the knife for me... but the Slysz Bowie is a great fit for me so to me it was worth the price of admission.
