Generally If I deem a knife worthy of use I wanna give it occasional pocket time and use , if I feel I'm not using it enough I'd rather pass it on to someone who will instead of letting it collect dust.
As a teenager I bought and was bought by my dad a bunch of cheap modern flea market folders, at that time I was the type to pick one and stick with it for quite a while. I was eagerly learning the good and bad of knives and was fine Letting 120 of them collect dust while using only one, I had learned they were mostly junk that would fall apart on me otherwise so I was fine with it.
After switching to better knives then eventually traditionals and the habit of rotating through them I decided I didn't want to just have a whole bunch of knives just to look at, I didn't like the idea of a quality tool never being used.
