I have been both of these people. I bought myself a Kershaw blur when I turned 21 in 2009, and carried that thing for 14 years. I had gotten other knives here and there, but nothing ever unthroned the blur. Now I cant stop buying and carrying new knives. Im sick I tells ya. I got the fever and the only thing that can cure it is more pocket knives! PS: Yall could get in the weeds for entire episodes and we would not complain, this is what I think most of us knife nuts are showing up for to begin with. PPS: The We version of the Vision would be even better if they simply included a traditional pocket clip you could swap onto the knife if the stock one isnt for you, that way they can retain the vision of the Vision but also alleviate that hesitation on some buyers part. It could also be too complicated to do that, i dont really know but I feel like its a simple solution to the common issue people have with the physical design of the knife.

Thomas DIDN'T fill one category that was brought up. It's a glaring omission from his collection. He has no high edge retention, supersteel knife - folder or fixed blade! Nothing.

Actually, with all due respect to MKM (a company I really like) David already figured out the pocket fixed blade with the Skipjack. The Nessmuk Tango is fine, the reverse tanto (more appropriately the lambsfoot) is acceptable, but the sheepsfoot is just too weird. However, the Skipjack is incredible. Now I just need to convince L.T. Wright to create another batch in either AEB-L or 14C28N and I'll be a happy little camper.
