"Why do you have so many knives!" how many have heard this?

[Zulus]

To those who ask, my question to them is why don’t you have more?

I didn't bought them yet
:^(

 

[Mister Coffee]

Make sure you brag about it on the internet. That can't go wrong for you.

Is the FBI going to kick in my front door at three o'clock in the morning because I have a Delica 4 in K390?

 

[Leo Greer]

I get asked that question sometimes, and I really don't have many knives at all.

Currently, I own two OTFs, two fixed blades, and about a dozen folders in total, counting the four that I've ordered these past two weeks.

When I get asked that question, I say: "Would you like to see the swords or the rifles next?"

 

[Zulus]

Yes !
Your Delica
and
Your blender and coffee maker !

Watch more American movies - they got all clues on a plate available :^D

[Bastler]

I ask myself that question, sometimes.

let’s keep it knife related boys and girls

 

[Bigbobg]

I ask myself that question.

 

[The Grendels]

Never from my credit card. It's very supportive...

 

[tomjav]

I collect functional art for the pure joy of it. If I had a nickle for every knife I've lost, I'd get a few more...

 

[rhino]

Any crazed maniac who questions my knife habits is dead to me!

 

[killgar]

I have honestly never been asked this by anyone in over 30 years of using and collecting. Not once.

I mean, it's not like I carry all the knives I own on my person at one time.

All my friends are knife guys, so of course they never ask. And I don't let random strangers in my house, so no one really knows how many knives I have.

This^

No one knows how many knives I own, not even close. And the people who know that I own some knives would never ask, either because they are "knife people" themselves, or because they have only seen me with one or two at a time, are not "knife people", and couldn't care less.

But then I'm very particular about who I share my "hobbies" with. Especially a "hobby" that involves "weapons" (many of my knives would/could be considered "weapons").

 

[Roguer]

Well I did get a few knives just to get! Guess they are considered weapons as well. I got 3 bayonets just to have them. One even fits on my lone AR with an lug for one! And it has a wedge for cutting wire an M-9 that isn't a sharpened swedge so I can take it out of my property! I think? Some others have a sharpened swedge I can't take off property as I live in an "Evil Dagger! State. But Then some models came out with no sharpened swedge so I had to add those to the edge tools one can use! I'm mostly a user of knives... well when it might take me time to use ALL my knives. Some are where they might be needed like the old farm house and I used every one of my car knives in hairy situations, so having "To Many Knives" has saved my life more than once or some one else's.

Did you read the post I was referring to? It was the one SGT wrote after he quoted you.

 

[rctic]

This bloody forum... why people feel the need to show off their awesome blades is beyond me..

 

[Mannlicher]

as Logan Nine Fingers used to say, "you can never have too many knives"

 

[Leo Greer]

I've totally dropped folders in rivers before...

 

[kobold]

Normies have no idea what a lot of knives really looks like. I don't think I have a lot of knives, it is a modest collection IMHO.

 

[pvicenzi]

When I tell someone that I collect knives, they think I am some kind of militant serial killer.

 

[bayouace]

"Just what you need - another knife!" I'm not spending $1,000 a year on crochet yarn, though.

 

[emjay]

"Because I like knives". Depending on the person who's asked, they either find it intriguing or scary...

The other question I get asked is "why do you carry a knife?". Well, because opening packages with my teeth or car keys isn't very pleasant, nor efficient.
