Catching up on my watch later list while fighting some s110v, not sure i like sharpening this stuff. Gotta be sharp. My fomo was beat by my wallets rather small size when it comes to hobbies. I got a Sebenza after a while and it's great but I also don't carry it because it's kinda middling at the same time. I've got other knives that work better for what I do but it has a story behind it, it was also a grail knife I saved up to get for a long time. It's my fancy going out knife along side one of the few gecs I've managed to get. To me those aren't worth the effort anymore. They are amazing knives but the price has been slowly creeping outside of what I'm willing to spend, the effort it takes to get some of the more desired patterns just doesn't match the joy I get from having and using it. I don't buy knives for my Instagram account or for those reddit upvotes. I try to buy based off of utility. Whether that's edc or a specific use case. To me the whole fomo thing is kinda silly but I get why it'd there and why others buy what they buy. Trying to get knife after knife when I lived at my parents with almost no bills almost burned me out of the hobby. But it also showed me what I don't like and what i don't use. Now I can pretty much look at a site listing and almost form a final opinion based upon certain factors I've got experience with already. Such as I don't care for wharncliffe, or flippers front or back, I don't really like titanium frame locks etc.. without that original experience I wouldn't have a driven collection that I do today. I think in the end it is healthy as long as you learn from it. You should get sucked into steel types and shapes and locks and everything. Buy everything you can safely afford that you like. Form your own ideas and opinions, then scale back reassess your collection and start back up with a purpose this time. For me it's like yours, utility and stories. It's gotten have meaning to it or be useful to me. Simply having it because I don't have magnacut yet isn't enough. Though my next purchase will probably be a magnacut native 5 lw. I want to add a native to my collection. Seems like a great edc everyone likes it and it comes in magnacut and I can dye the salt yellow scales orange to match my delica and endura which are 2 of my favorites and still see the most carry after almost a decade.

Totally agree. FOMO drops are a major turn off. If you want to make money, as a knife company, why not make enough for everyone who wants one? I don't enjoy the hype, and it contributes to the ridiculous secondary market prices. It caters to knife flippers (not flipper knives...lol), not hobbyists and users.

the best way to defeat this whole impulse buying shit is to raise a family. As soon as you have your first kid prioritise will change and you'll be much more savvy in the way you spend. This is the very same reason why the modern consumerist society discourages family as, paradoxically, isolated individuals spend more than large families (this is my thought).

Great video! I came to the same realization a couple of years into the hobby. Before you gain experience and learn your own preferences it’s easy to get sucked in by the cool, limited and fidgety stuff. After a while it became obvious that what I actually used was almost exclusively Spyderco FRN backlocks. Practicality and utility beats cool and fancy. To consider a new knife these days it has to solve a problem not (entirely) solved by my existing knives or improve upon and replace something I already have. I still have enough knives to feel some consumerism shame, but new knives are further and further apart, and continuously tightening the criteria for what to keep. I rarely buy something that isn’t regular production, by the same “replacement logic” you touched on. To fully enjoy a knife I have to be able to easily replace it. Monetarily and logistically. In the end knives are just tools, if we spend more time and energy chasing them than they save us through their utility - then we ourselves are the tools (of consumerism).

Sharp! I also struggled with figuring out what I was wanting out of this hobby as of late. I significantly cut back my collection and gifted a lot of knives to friends, I still have too many knives but I only ever find myself carrying a military, pm2, dragonfly, or small sebenza regularly. Something that helped a bunch with tempering the feeling of always needing to keep up with new releases was simply unfollowing a majority influencers and dealers from social media. Try to focus on the enjoyment of carrying, using, and sharpening the knives in my collection instead of chasing handle colors and steel combos. I also previously was in a trade where a knife was used regularly and now I sit at my desk all day so my daily carry is almost always overkill anyway.

Luckily for me, i have little to no desire to collect. I only want to own knives i'll carry and use regularly, and i also like having a genuine every single day carry. I bond with the knife, flashligjt, pen etc if the same tool is on me everyday. I'll rotate my carry knife every couple months between the 4 i have. I've sold more knives than i own 😂 I do still like watching people talk about and reviewing all the new knives coming out

I’ve been on a similar journey to yours. I’ve bought many different knives in many different styles to see what I like best, and then sold the rest. As far as modern folders, I’ve settled on the PM3 as my very favorite. At some point I had every single iteration of that knife, but then realized I would never use all of them. So I sold most of them and kept my favorites. Even so, I still have too many.
