Who did you vote for?

[ian]

We had this poll about different kinds of knife owners a while back, and I was just wondering what the breakdown was, so that I could analyze any correlation with people’s avatars and personalities. Thinking I might make a spreadsheet and share it with the forum, maybe write a research paper on it. To recap, the options were the following people: collector, sometimes collector, knife user, anti collector. Who did you vote for?

First one, but I use most of mine. Well, some of mine. Too many to actually use most.

this thread has nothing to do with politics.

Collector! I store my knives unused in a cabinet. I sometimes sprinkle them with camelia oil and massage them with cotton pads - but I wouldn’t count that as use.

Be happy nobody can see you turning red telling such an infamous lie

I voted for user back then.

I probably jump back and forth between user and semi-collector - Guess I would say semi-collector now.

I prefer to think of myself in the user category but I'm accumulating too many knives for may taste and getting dangerously close to semi-collector status. I definitely have some knives I intend to sell but judging from recent BST evidence this is very much a buyers market except for a few hard to acquire knives.
It would be interesting to run this poll for stones, JNATs in particular.

it wouldnt be a BBS if people didnt read the thread title and nothing else (including the OP) and posted anyway

I use all the knives I have! You won't get BNIB knives from me!

Isn't it illegal to not vote in Australia?

I thought this thread was about knives?

So Australians are mandated by force of law to state "That's a knife" or "That's not a knife"?

Don't forget "You call that a knife? This... is a knife." and "Alright. Alright. You win. Heh. I see you've played knifey spoony before."

I'd put myself somewhere between user and anti-collector (I think). To me, knives are tools and tools are meant to be used. But tools also deserve to be cared for.
I'll admit that being a maker means that I have the freedom/ability to make myself a collector piece to use, and if it wears out, can just make another one, which is a freedom that not everyone else has. Especially if you are like the majority of the population who has to pay attention to a budget.

 

[user 16756]

Id have to call myself a sometimes collector, because my thing is Ill find the one thing I really like, but not necessarily sell all the rest, so I have a tendency to have a few toys sitting around not getting used.

The answer is... four?
