My collecting is focused on vintage pen/gents knives (primarily European), anything Queen cutlery, and books/memorabilia.

I accumulate anything that catches my fancy (primarily for edc), & in the $ range for the month.

That's how i justify the addiction; by splitting my foggy computer into different file cabinets... :mrgreen:

Sometimes I wish I was disciplined and focused enough to collect a certain brand or pattern. I do have my favorites that I look for (Camillus 72, Loomfixers, CASE 6375, etc…) but alas I can’t stay that focused. What ever grabs my attention at the moment that I have the funds for. It’s a sickness I tell ya.

I have forced myself to be that disciplined. Used to be I'd buy a knife simply because it looked cool. But the huge amount of knives out there, plus my lack of Daddy Warbucks' huge pile of money, got me to focus on a few brands and patterns. Not to say I won't deviate from that focus at all, but I won't actively seek out knives I'm not focused on.

Not me! I've got this under control. I can quit this anytime I want! Any time at all.
Maybe after buying one more...

Besides Camillus 72's & clones and mini-trappers????? What ever catches my eye & I don't call that collecting. To me, that's accumulating (as I like to call my sickness).

Absolutely! Collecting requires discipline, I lack discipline, therefore, I’m an accumulator! :mrgreen:
