The ordeal I have when changing up my carry knife. "Whoa is me" LOL

We all have sob stories about one thing or another, I am not complaining, but this is why it takes so long to pick my HD pocket knife each day.

Brag bag:

I will look and handle everyone before making a decision.

Sometimes I feel dressy to semi dressy. As you see above, I don't normally consider these for work carry.

Above are more casual folders Although sometimes too small or too big.

Above it is the same as before, Casual but...

Out of the bunch above I will carry the Bokers, but I will pull out and handle each one briefly.

I like carrying these, but I ask myself each time "Which one?" That is a 30 minute Answer.

Above is another leaf of knives I can spend a half hour deciding on.

Above are my normal folder carries(except the Spartan), my 710 must be in my truck door pocket but it normally shares a stall with the Impel.

Now that is what I go through every night to pick a tactical folder while laying out my clothes for the next day. That doesn't include the time it takes to pick out a traditional folder, That involves pulling out 2 Knife rolls and the Case notebook, that is a 30 minute ordeal in itself.

Is your selection method difficult? Or are you like me and make it difficult so you can see and handle all of your knives.

Hey, I know how you feel on that point.

There are times the wife won't let me carry, other than the obvious times. She doesn't like for me to carry on resort vacations, or to our kid's school and extended family functions. How am I supposed to have fun if I don't feel "prepared"?

I grab my knife before my wallet and keys, I have actually locked myself out of my house, but I had my pocket knife.

My daily selection is easy. I have a daily carry for work: a Leatherman wave and an Anza fixed blade with a 3" blade. My weekends are bit more difficult. I have to chose between a nice fixed blade or a CRKT M16 for casual wear. Seriously, you are jaded.

Funny that it had not dawned on me that not only do I already have my typical pocket knives in my pants all the time, ready to jump in them, but I select a knife from the dresser to put on the belt as I do. That means I select while putting my pants on AND select from the knife store in my pockets throughout the day. I'm soooo sick.
