Yeah, but ... how many knives do you REALLY need?

[terryl965]

So, I've been going through my house, turning over a new leaf as it were and this involves going through every nook and cranny. Well ...

... I opened up my bottom dresser drawer which is where I store some old belts, outgrown kids uniforms, braces, wraps, splints, slings ... and guess what I found?

A COLLECTOR'S SET OF KNIVES given to me by a friend a few years ago - each one represents a different branch of the military. It was a KEWL gift and ... and ... and I found KNIVES!!! :boing1::boing2::boing1:

It is always to find something you have otally forgot about. Good for you

Yep, it is always great to find something that you have forgotten.

The gift that keeps on giving!

Well, I found more, actually, in places I had hidden them in case of urgent need and ... urgent need hasn't occurred as yet.

My train of thought is if I plan on having some at immediate disposal like this, I'm going to need a lot more than I have, because I might be carrying light that day ... and it's a GREAT excuse to buy ... MORE KNIVES!!

YOu can't have too many.



As long as your wife doesn't find your collection, at which time you may be forced to decrease it a bit until you find a better hiding place.

I guess I'm lucky, but my wife wants the bigger ones. like swords. She's really not interested until it's over a foot and a half long.

Considering that one likely carries at least two knives and hides several around the home and in the vehicle, how many knives must you really own?

All of them. All of them. ALL OF THEM!

(knives-hehe-I like knives....)

I shouldn't even begin to count-seriously, do I count the ones for the kitchen as well??Do I leave out swords?

I mean, isn't this a question better asked about guns? I can at least reliably count those.....

Wow! It's a good thing my wife has smacked all of the gutter thoughts out of my head or that could have been taken really really badly. :angel:

Don't resisit it. Just give in now and waste all your money of knives. You really don't need food do you? Give in and life will be much easier!

It was a sad day when I put all my knives in a packing box to sit in a garage at my parents when I came overseas (didn't think the airline nor customs would appreciate a 10" SpecOps bolo strapped to my leg).

At any rate, how many do I really need? None. How many do I want? Heh... an easier question would be how many DON'T I want...

I miss my Spyderco Endura, I miss my bolo, I miss my 5" double-serrated-blade boot knife.... Yeah... making me all misty here...

The airlines wouldn't have liked them on your person or in your carryon, but I had no problems taking quite a few knives with me when I got PCSd to Germany.
