Deserving of duplicates
Which models are so good that one isn't enough?
I have two of these:
Mini Dyad Sprint
Southard
Manix 2 XL

Pingo
I also have duplicates of the PM2 and Manix 2 XL.
The one I really "need" a duplicate for is the Manix 2 I carry most days. It's the only Spydie I have a high chance of losing at work, and the one I'd want to have an immediate replacement on hand if I did. Last year I actually lost one and went immediately to the store in the middle of the work day to buy a replacement.
Oh, yeah, I'd take a duplicate K390 mule, too. :)

I have five that I would consider buying a duplicate of, though I likely won't buy a duplicate of all 5 (I'd rather experience more blade shapes/materials, lock types, etc.), though a couple have been really tempting. This is in order, though I'll likely keep trying different models for a while first (As budget permits). I never thought I'd have more than 20 knives, and though I'm not there yet I may up that to 25. I rotate my knives so each one gets use at least once a month, though once every three weeks is more common so I should be able to rotate a few more. My collection is one of users, so it stands that the more I have the longer it will take me to wear them out (At least in my mind lol).peter469 wrote:Which models are so good that one isn't enough?

PM2 (Though I suspect this spot could become sequestered by the Domino at some time in future...haven't had it long enough to be sure, but at this point it wouldn't surprise me).

If you include "different color" as duplicate, then I guess I have quite a few:
Domino (original black, and blue)
Szabo (original, and blacked out)
Military S30V (2 orange, plus digicam/satin, digicam/black blade, 1 Ti, 2 fluted Ti)
Military M390 2 ea
Military Cruwear 2 ea
PM2 S30V digicam/satin, digicam/black
Manix 2 S30V (orange, plus EDCF GITD version 2 ea)
Forum Native 5 S110V 2 ea
Native 5 S35VN (1 black G10, 3 EDCF GITD, 3 fluted Ti)
Catcherman 3 ea
Southfork 2 ea
Bill Moran 1 black, 1 black/orange
Kiwi 1 black CF, 1 mother-of-pearl by SFSW
Most of the Mules I order 2 ea, to get the total high enough to qualify for free shipping from Golden :)

Aqua Salt (1 SE, 1 PE)
K04 Kitchen Knife 1 SE, 1 PE
I forgot, also

Manix 2 XL S90V 2 ea
and probably some others I can't think of at the moment.
