Amazing isn’t it? Over time, you’re likely going to find that larger knives are mostly overkill in an urban setting. That’s what happened to me. Eventually I gave away and sold all of my larger SAK’s.
Overkill.
It seems to infect all groupie situations, no matter the knife nut crowd, gun nut crowd, car/motorcycle crowd, whatever the cult worship item is being bowed down to. I know, because I've been guilty of it myself.
In my younger days, I had a gun collection. I could have armed a Marine rifle squad for operations in a hostile zone. Same with knives. I'm not sure what the hell happened, but little by little I started looking at it all and wondering what the hell was I doing with all this s--t in my life. It was like coming out of a feverish infection and looking back on it all, it was nuts. Plain nuts. I didn't need most of it. When I had my first huge downsize, it was like having a ball and chain removed from my leg. It was a freeing feeling.
You're right on. any small SAK in the pocket like a 58mm, a utility knife or two stashed around, and some good kitchen knives are all you need. Much more and it just gets silly real fast.
