I never quite wrapped my mind around knife/flashlight collecting. I have one of each that I EDC and I did quite a bit research to find the ones I like the best (Benchmade Bugout and Wurkkos TS22 - both in green). Carrying anything else would mean leaving home the one I like the most which doesn't make any sense.

I don't judge. It's just one of those things I have no theory of mind for.

To each their own. I mean, some people collect spoons of all things.

Spoons. Not knives. Madness. (Next you're telling me it'll be forks.)

Obligatory:

Have you by chance joined the pocket knife community?

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm adding a parallel comment addressing your edit.

Is this the part where I finally get to say, "Do you know who I am?" I've been waiting years for that one.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Ah, now I see. It all makes sense now.
Usually I don't look at usernames and thought I found your soulmate.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

This line is uttered about three times a day in my household.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

You collect knife boxes, and you have them filled with knives just so they're not empty.

What is that fancy shelf system? 😮

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The backplane is the rather popular 3D printable Honeycomb Wall system. The angled divider trays are my own design which is compatible with the same.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh wow, you're not kidding about it being popular. That page of add ons went on forever!

Very cool, and your design looks great as well.

I only have my faithful Ontario Rat, but we're practically inseparable!

Another popular storage solution is Gridfinity

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Oh I went down the rabbit hole all day yesterday on this stuff!

Multiboard was pretty cool too.

If I had a 3d printer it'd be running non-stop right now 😄

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago

I studied the blade

[–] neo2478@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

So many shelves!

[–] obsoleteacct@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

No, those are all necessary.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I got like 15 different sharpening stones. We should hang out sometime.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I suspect that would result in a lot of sharpened knives.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

Lol. Oh for sure. Knife and straight razor sharpening has been my hobby for the past 30 years. My daily driver EDC is currently a red Microtech Ultratech knife and an Olight ArkPro in zombie green.

Gabe is that you?
