>>985410I have a bunch of knives. I post them in the knife threads here and on /k/
Knives have been great for me, traveling around lets me find all the best deals for resell later on. For example, I found a Benchmade 940-1 on CL for $100 that had just been posted. Went and bought it for 100, selling it tomorrow for $210. I have given away over $1k worth of knives to other travelers over the years, including the people I have met through /out/
Nothing like arming bums with Benchmades and ZTs. I've given away 6 different ka bar beckers, a couple case knives, three ZTs, 4 Benchmades, a Spyderco, a LTWK, a Leatherman and a couple of cheap Sanrenmus. That's not even touching the hundreds i've resold for profit.
As far as the ones I keep around, I have a few that aren't going anywhere. Two camp knives one large one small, three folders, and a skinning knife. No one over 18 should ever worry about their knife being too large. The shit you have to worry about is the assisted opening/automatics especially if you have a few of them. Even shitty $5 gas station switchblades can get you locked up depending where you are, so if you're traveling just stick to manuals.
