Thank you Dan!!!

Ladybug (of any variation)

A bold choice sir. I've got an h1 ladybug and a zdp manbug, even though they wouldn't be my personal choice for the next five years, you could totally do it.

Lol, it was a bit hard for me to admit that a Ladybug would be all that I needed for the next five + years. Thanks to my mundane desk job, I have precious few occasions to test drive my pocket knives. I actually have to search for things to cut on a daily basis, lol. My wife and I don't cook, so I don't even have opportunities to utilize knives in the kitchen. (On that note, I have a brand new set of beautiful Wusthof kitchen knives just sitting on the counter gathering dust. :o).

Have you tried whittling? You could use your Ladybug to carve a Delica out of wood :D . On one level I'm right there with you, I don't have nearly enough things to cut in my day to day life to justify the many knives I own. But that won't stop me from buying more, I got my first swiss army knife when I was 7 and I've been collecting with enthusiasm ever since. I'd really love to get to a spot financially where I could move somewhere with a garage and try to make a few fixed blades on my own.

You know, that would probably work well. I used to whittle quite a bit when I was in high school. In fact, my brother and I had a side "business" of making hand-whittled fishing lures out of poplar and balsa wood. It was a lot of fun, even though we didn't make much in terms of profit.

I would very much encourage you to look into making some fixed bladed knives when you can. Even if you don't presently have garage space, you can still set up a little shop of sorts in a garden shed, a corner of the basement, or even in a buddy's garage. :)
