EDC/OCD

EDC; EveryDay Carry

OCD; Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an anxiety disorder in which people have unwanted and repeated thoughts, feelings, ideas, sensations (obsessions), or behaviors that make them feel driven to do something (compulsions).

Do you have EDC-OCD?

1. Do you buy a knife for an EDC, and like it well enough, that you feel driven to get a "backup"?

2. Do you buy a kmife for an EDC and then have to get one "for the collection"- or visa versa?

I have EDC/OCD. Which is tough for me when I buy more expensive knives. Is there a doctor in the house?

Yeah. I'm stuck with my "knife allowance" every month. So in-between I dream and plan.

Every man gets to the stage of knife collecting where he has to decides what is more important....nice knives and a bothered wife, or no knives and a bothered wife.

Craig, I honestly don't think I have a problem.

But my postman has recently expressed some concern.

Like today when he delivered these knives that I won in 5 different Ebay auctions last week...

I can't help it if I'm lucky!

At least the mailman hasn't cut you off! I know I've helped pay for a new car for a couple of knife dealers!

But my EDC/OCD is rolling along. I got that Case 63032 Stockman in jigged Antique bone. Well, I keep looking at it thinking "Yeah, it's bigger than what I usually carry (Case 6333), but, I want one to carry!". So, I'm thinking about ordering ANOTHER for EDC! LOL! And I have A 6333 for the collection, a 6333 that I carry, and a 6333 for a backup......and I'm thinking about getting ANOTHER 6333 for an additional backup. OCD.
