In addition to being addicted to all things that go band, I seem to had an addiction to sharp pointy things. Intervention no doubt needed here.

Not the best knife, but the funnest knife I ever had was a double edged butterfly knife that I sharpened up both sides razor sharp. Every time I pulled it out, someone would always want to play with it. I warned them it was sharp and they would say, "I know what I'm doing". The first little slip their finger(s) would be bleeding and they wouldn't realize it. They would be surprised when I told them to give me the knife back before they cut their fingers off, as they couldn't believe they were bleeding. It was that sharp. Then I would flip it around pretty fast and fancy, like in the movies. Anyone else who wanted to try kind of hung their heads.
I first had a single edge one that I spent many hours practicing with over a couple or three years before I found a double edged one. I think while at camp a number of years back, we had a knife throwing contest. The others all had fixed blade hunting knives and I didn't. This is when I discovered that butterfly knives weren't made to be throwing knives, especially into trees. I wish I can find another one again, but pretty sure I got this overseas in PI. The pretty ones make a great BBQ knife, and the double edged ones tend to discourage those who have never used one, or rather those who think they can use one.

Some, for me anyway, are stupid expensive (Microtech).
But for an EDC pocket knife?

I have one MicroTech. Like new used but unbelievably expensive. I sure like it and carry it in my bag all the time. Seldom use it. I'd be dead if my wife knew what they cost.
I've often wondered why some knives can be so expensive. The only good thing about that is it's kept me from jonesing on them too much. My arguable best knife is a Tops BOB knife, which is for my bugout bag. It was only a bit over a hundred bucks 8 or so years ago. Very nice knife, and the curiousness comes when I compare what this is and how much it costs, to a small folder like a Benchmade that's only a fraction of it's size.
In my mind, it makes sense for a nice folder to cost more than a fixed blade. More metal, bearings, screws, locking mechanism, etc... Plus knife folks focus on fit and finish, centering of the blade when closed, and more.
Camping anyone....
