For the heck of it.

That describes every knife purchase I make, lol!

Same !!
Well … I use them all .

I got the Delica cruwear, I just wanted it.

I should clarify. I do carry and use most of my knives. But there is no way I "need" 19 (and counting) Spydercos. Lol!

Hi RSD,

Welcome to our forum.

Probably a Slym. It's a really nice knife but not the sort of thing I typically buy.

For $300 for a knife I probably wouldn't use much, it would either have to be the Vallotton or the Espada XL.

Both knives the OP listed are excellent everyday users, why would you not use them?

That Pacific Salt is a $135 knife, if there was ever a knife to use and treat like a rented mule, it’s this one! Yeah I could probably think of a knife or two to put in the back of my safe, but it’s neither of these two…..

I live in the Uk and I'm not allowed by law to use or carry either of the knives I mentioned in public, because both of the knives I listed are over 3" and have locking blades. And unless I can show a good reason for having them in public - using the Pacific Salt while camping for example - otherwise I'd be arrested and charged with having an offensive weapon in public, which in the UK is often prison time.

However I like the knives I mentioned, and want them in my collection.

It's not all bad news. If a knife is under 3" and none locking I can carry that all day long. And I have stacks of those.

Couple of UK legal favs ..

geez. I remember the thread about whether or not one might get arrested for carrying a UKPK. Meanwhile each morning I have to decide if I want to conceal carry .380 or 9mm

Hopefully someday you get to try those models out.

If I want a knife I wont use, I really want an expensive safe queen, probably something like a Drunken and the Paysan.

Got ya, didn’t know, I’m sorry I made my post now. Man the things we (me) take for granted! I carry a large locking folder and a pistol everyday, it’s just my normal daily routine. I truly feel for you guys in the UK.

I plan on buying a CS black and orange lil Native that I don’t really need just because I want a cool Halloween knife.

It was a good post you made as it gave me an opportunity to add a little information to the forum about the laws in the UK regarding knives. Although I'm sure other Brits may have said similar things before I joined the site.

Oddly enough, in the UK we can own and use firearms upon gaining the correct certificates, despite the draconian restrictions on knife usage in public places.

I just bought a brushed aluminum Smock Sprint Cruwear…you know, just for the heck of it!

My just-for-the-heck-of-it wish list would consist of the Slym or the Cutlery Shoppe exclusive black & orange Milly.

I'm thinking about getting those models I mentioned ordered for my collection. At least they'll stay immaculate, unlike my UKPK which has been through blood (cut myself lol) sweat, and tears (I misplaced it ) No worries, found it again (and I do have a few of them )

I bought so many over the years I need a spreadsheet to keep track of what I got, where it is, and what condition its in
