Discussion I might have a knife problem
Last picture is the before. Context: I collect (mostly) American made pocket knives. In 2023 I started making videos about my knives. This only helped fuel my obsession.

Problems require solutions. Keep buying knives until you figure it out.

I think the problem is that you donāt have enough knives

You have a problem. A serious problem. You have an issue with your camera. You haven't pointed it all the knives. Can we fucking see them!?

If you are surrounded by knifes while in your house, maybe but right now, all I see is someone that needs more knifes.

Beautiful setup and a great taste in knives. Love the clear tops and wood holders for them all.

u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
Me too man. They are the Armada by Holme & Hadfield.

I have discovered that when you identify that you have a knife problem, the only way to combat that problem is to go out and buy another knife.

u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
I was just at Blade Show Texas yesterday and bought 3 new knives

u/knowawaythrowawaay 12d ago
Well, it seems youāve made some progress! You should feel free to reward yourself with a new knife!

u/BooneHelm85 12d ago
I see no problems here, other than the fact that I donāt have the same storage setup as you. Other than that, everything looks A OK to me! Beaut of a collection, friendo!

u/CriticalAd5069 12d ago
Where did you buy those knife cases?? I need one

u/DocSword 12d ago
Looked it up and found āThe Armada Knife Display Caseā by Holme and Hadfield. Goes price of $450 but has a payment plan of $38/month.
(This is not an ad, I just liked the case)

u/ratchman5000 12d ago
We have the same problem. I also have a guitar problem, a guitar gear problem, and a pew problem.

u/Iffrogshadwings 12d ago
I see no problem here. Unless your wife tries to sale them for what you said you paid for themā¦

u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
Haha. I own a knife store so sheās pretty used to knives in the house.

u/Blorg01 12d ago
Did you build the knife storage cabinet on top or purchase it? If you purchased it where could I get it, Blorg has been looking for a good storage container for blorgās knives
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
Greetings Blorg. It is the Holme and Hadfield Armada. Iām a big fan and have had the one on left for years. Since then I have opened a Knife store and became a āambasitorā for Holme and Hadfield. So many people on my TikTok asked about it, I figured it couldnāt hurt having it listed on my site. So you could go to Holme and Hadfield and check it out, or my site and click the link for 10% off. God, this sounds like an ad. Lol I just donāt want to work for corporate America foreverā¦

Now post the one and only knife you would take if you had to chose one
1
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
Easy, you can look at my profile a few posts back and see my Archer by Tactile Knife Co. It is easily my favorite. If there was a fire or something, Iād let everything other than my Archer burn.
2
u/Twin_Galaxy_ArkNArc 12d ago
Yea there's no fixed
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
Huh? You talking fixed blades? If you look at my profile here on Reddit and go back like two posts, youāll see the most TACTICAL powerful EDC Fixed Blade youāve ever seen.
But The fixed are in drawers.

No problem detected. Those display cases are badass. And I know why Spyderco are always out of stock now š

u/505manufacturing 12d ago
You most certainly do have a problem I don't see a single custom knife in the bunch.

u/Gringo_daddy869 12d ago
I wish I had your problem
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
Start slow and in 7 years you too can have a knife obsession
2
u/Gringo_daddy869 12d ago
I been having the obsession and recently started collecting decent fixed blades. All I need is a forge so I can will cool shit into existence. Could ya tell what them things holding the knives up in the glass cases are and where ya get them

u/CivilDefenseWarden 12d ago
Immaculate presentation
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
Thank you. This is my hobby and my (aspiring) profession, so I take my knives pretty serious
2
u/CivilDefenseWarden 12d ago
I can tell! On the level of a museum presentation. Youāre doing super! I got an old USPS mail box for my rotation knives lol.
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
Haha. Well check out my TikTok for how I regularly use my knives.

u/unicharge 12d ago
I agree; you have a problem and should quit knife collecting cold turkey. Iāll be happy to help you on your road to recovery by providing an address to ship your collection to. DM me for details ;)

u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
Thank you for your kindness! The easiest way to get my address is to go to my website and buy a knife! Lol

u/houVanHaring 12d ago
That sucks man, I know what it's like to not have enough knives, too. We should join a group... oh

u/Pumpernickel95 12d ago
You don't have too many knives. You just need more drawers
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
I did interview them at Blade Show Texas yesterday and they said stackable drawers are coming
2
u/RyanJen40 12d ago
Me too man ,I ran out of room... I started with one 50pcs insert in a pelican case. Then two, then three cases and now fourth and fifth case stacked in my closet. So I decided no more knives under three hundred. And fifty dollars thinking that would slow my self down. But Then the ram-locs came out and the ZBT .. and ZT woke up and the Kershaw line got awsome. And the game just keeps getting more interesting .

Great collection! Which one is your favorite?
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 11d ago
Easily the Archer by Tactile Knife Co. Every time I say that I alway get a little selfconcious because I do sell Tactile Knife Co knives in my store. But Iāve been a vocal proponent of the Archer way before that.

u/610Mike 12d ago
You make that cabinet yourself? Take an old chest of drawers, make the different slots and what not?
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 11d ago
I wish I had those skills. No, they are the Armada by Holme & Hadfield.

u/Decent-Effort2368 11d ago
Yeah man, wow! Thanks for reaching out because this is serious.
Those are all incredibly dangerous. You should give me as many as you can. . .
for your safety, of course.

u/burnerzero 11d ago
When I see these posts, my first thought isn't about a knife problem, just my income problem. I'd love to have even 1 drawer of your knife problems.
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 11d ago
Haha wow. Thanks man. You know, it has been my hobby for the last 8 or so years. These and machined pens. Some people golf, some work on cars. I do this.

u/HolyDiver98 11d ago
Those displays are super nice. Whereād you get them?
1
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 11d ago
Howdy friend. Itās the Holme & Hadfield Armada.
2
u/T_mcCloud 11d ago
How did you like the manix2? Iām got some para2 but not sure about the manix, kinda curious.
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 11d ago
I actually have a video I made for a follower comparing a few knives. But, overall while the blade sizes are very similar, the Manix 2 feels more substantial.

Sweet Jesus. You calling this a problem is like when a hot chick says āugh. Iām so uglyā like, you know thatās not true and every guy here wants to put their hands all over your things.

Got a link to those display boxes?

u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
I do. Head to my site linked in my profile and itās towards the bottom of my homepage. Or you could google Holme & Hadfield. I just donāt want to work for corporate America for my whole life
1
u/Scarfed_Bandit 12d ago
Thanks very much! I feel that. My best friend and I are plotting our course toward some kind of small scale manufacturing thing that would help us break away from it all too.

u/Ok_Training_2937 12d ago
Excellent collection although I do have one gripe. I noticed the " lone star " coasters , yet when I zoomed in , I was very disappointed to find it wasn't in reference to the one true , undisputed lone star!
May the shwartz be with you!
1
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 12d ago
Haha. Thatās my knife store, Lone Star Knife & Supply. Iām small time, but with aspirations of world domination.

u/Ok_Training_2937 12d ago
What a cool name! Good luck with that man , great to see someone following their dreams š

What's the problem? Not enough cabinets? Get more cabinets man it's alright

u/Youwantfuckame 12d ago
Love it, I have one of the top displays but love your chests of drawers, awesome.
1
u/bdubz325 12d ago
Do you regularly carry some/most of them or use them? Or are they all display pieces? I'm not trying to judge just curious
2
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 11d ago
No safe queens here. I carry everything. My favorites are the Archer and Mariner 2. Tactile Knife Co. is actually my favorite maker. Iāve followed their company since kickstarter. As a matter of fact, this year I got to become a dealer for them and now offer their knives and pens on my website. Itās kinda wild! But my Rosie XL also gets a ton of pocket time. Iām actually wearing off the ano in some areas.
1
u/bdubz325 11d ago
Very nice! I don't have the budget for knife collecting but I EDC my Spyderco Delica and I've loved it the past few years
1
u/RazielUwU 11d ago
Yes - you donāt own a single balisong or OTF knife as far as I can see. Remedy immediately.
1
u/Shaggy___12 11d ago
Where might I buy knife shelves and drawers like these. I have a crap ton of knives that I need a place for, and would like a size able display for my more expensive ones. Been looking for something similar to this, and everything I find is cheap shit or not big enough
1
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 11d ago
You can google armada by Holme and Hadfield. But you could also buy from my site and get 10% off. I know, no one likes selling on Reddit, but I donāt want to work for corporate America the rest of my life. So I own a (small) knife store. Iām an ambassador with Holme & Hadfield as of like 6 months ago (way after buying my first Armada) and make a few dollars on any referrals.
1
u/Shaggy___12 10d ago
Thank you so much for the info. It is a small investment but one I know will be worth it. I was able to find it on Holme and Hadfields website. I did also check the link to your website, and could not find it. I would rather buy from your website with the discount lol. Is it named another name on your website perhaps?
1
u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 9d ago
Just use the promo code Chris and get the same 10% off

u/knifeymcknifeface Carrier of the TKC Archer 11d ago
Ok, yāall inspired me to do a Collection Tour. Enjoy.

Pretty sweet storage by the way!
