It was not that long ago I was looking for one really good quality fixed blade and I had my eye on the S6 but the SS4 came along and I decided to pick it up. It was a bit smaller than I was looking for but would probably be fine as my only quality knife when paired with a hawk or axe. Needless to say it has become an addiction.
I really want one of each kind of knife now. Instead of just buying Busse or Scrappers I am trying to collect one of each type of blade ,hopefully an excellent example as well. I always get a spare scrapper for trades also.

I have a nice katana ,a first rate WW2 FS Dagger ,a Emerson Commander(Waved) for my tactical folder ,a Lambert custom for my custom linerlock/gentsknife ,a Spyderco Police for my concealed MBC fighter ,and a Scrapyard HookGuard for a fixed survival knife ,a Strider ED neck knife ,a spyderco Yang kitchen knife ,a Swarden fixed EDC and I have not decided whether the YKLE or MuttLE will be my bushcraft knife.

I still need a scandi ,probably a Helle anniversary. My bowie should be here next week. My Chinook3 is a MBC(martial blade craft) knife that was designed to be used in the same style as a bowie. I will still need a companion knife for the DFLE. Pretty much all these are users. I will even use the FS if I have any sentry's to take out. The problem with this collecting strategy is there are millions of types of knives. I still NEED a good kukuri for example. Also the FS Dagger triggered a love for antique knives. That is a great hobby if you find new knives are not draining your savings fast enough <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />


When I bought that first Scrapyard SS4 I went back to the CGN(Canadian gun nutz)
site to show it off. There was a really nice guy there named Cold One who rather liked it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
