I saw a post by someone on BF that described himself as an "acquirer". I think that describes me. Most collectors to seem to have a plan. I don't. If I see a knife I really really like and can afford, I generally just buy it. I have a few customs and a random bunch of production knives. I'm sure there will be a couple knives that never get used that I like just because they look cool. I have purchased a couple knives that I thought would be users but upon receiving them decided they were so nice that I wasn't going to be the first user. Some of these will end up being gifts for family members or others. Some may eventually see hard use. I don't stress about it. At a minimum it's a fun hobby, at its best it's a fun hobby *and* I find some neat tools I discover I just can't live without. It's all good fellas!
