Title: Hoarding OC?
Post by: papercut on May 09, 2022, 11:24:52 AM: Raise your hand if you are hoarding OC. I sold a refurbished Seaman once, and gave away an OC Pioneer (and deeply regret it) but that is all the OC that has left my warm living hands. The rest is clutched tight in a deathgrip! You will never get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is the early days has the hoard grown or? The picture begs an update!

I stopped taking collection photos myself. I'll let the other, larger collectors go first. :pok:
And the question was who hoards OC - doesn't seem to be many... :pok:

Post by: Frailer on May 10, 2022, 07:32:14 AM: I guess it depends on one’s definition of “hoard.” I have a few in the collection, but they’re all different, so I don’t think that counts. I do have three OC Pioneers that are identical: one I carry every day, a spare in case something happens to that one, and a backup for the spare. Three may be excessive to some, but I think it’s far from “hoard” territory.

Its funny, by the standards of this forum, having three copies of the same knife may indeed be considered far from hoarding territory, and the explanation for the three copies (a user, a backup and a backup to the backup) perfectly reasonable. :rofl:

Post by: kkokkolis on May 11, 2022, 11:13:18 AM: I think that one needs a fourth user to the backup of the backup to the user.
And what if we get Nuclear WWIII and they all melt?
A fifth one should be secured in a Swiss Bank CBRN-proof underground mountain bunker airtight sealed lead box with gold plating, surrounded by active carbon.

Anything below two digits is tempting fate. Just saying...

Post by: Buzzbait on May 12, 2022, 02:31:54 AM: I’m not much of a hoarder. The love the OC’s, but only own 3. I have an old Farmer with a badly worn blade, that I have plans to use in a mod.

I also have the Farmer I’m now carrying daily.

Then there’s the Pioneer that I bought used many years ago. It was the only knife I carried for years on end. Amazing knife.

Post by: MadPlumbarian on May 12, 2022, 03:12:20 AM: I think there beautiful, and I’d collect if I could but I can’t even collect regular ones, there was once a pioneer posted on Amazon it had just regular pics but the last one was red, the description said red and for giggles I bought it, the funny thing was it was only like $27, amazingly when it came in I was shocked to find out it was a red OC, unfortunately they didn’t have anymore to order, but I’ve had that modified to my ultimate since then,,
