I realized that I've started "collecting" some knives. Which is unfortunate.

I've had knives my whole life, and used every last one of them. Then I got that blasted CGFBM almost a year ago, and I just never used it. I've always said I would, but didn't. It was the one knife I had that wasn't a "user."

Until a few months ago.

I got several SAKs, and then Amazon.com had Red Vic Farmers on sale for like $20, so I got several, and only opened one of them. I then set aside a couple of Vic Soldiers for my boys from their birth years. Then I got a few Spyderco users, but came across the "holy grail" known as the Lil' Temperance (Willieboy EDC's one - its an amazing and interesting looking knife.) They're so rare and collectible, that I just put it in my little safe. Then I fell in love w/ my Spyderco Manix - they're discontinued, so I got one more for a good deal - and its going to the safe as well. Then the DFLE and MOD7. I have a CGDF, and a Mutt - they're my users, and I see no reason to "replace" them w/ the new LE's - and I'm pretty confident that my two new scrappers will never see use. I also ordered a RAT Rail Splitter - limited to 500 pieces - cool little slip joint from a collaboration between RAT and Queen. Its got little to do with the value of the knife - I use my BATAC all the time, and my ASH1 is going to be a user as well.

I'm afraid I'm becoming a collector! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I blame it all on that CGFBM...
