Knife user from Bangalore

Hello folks,
I have been a consumer of these forums for a while. Have been a user of outdoor knives for over a decade now. Never paid attention to them beyond their functional use until a few years back, when I started accumulating (yes, not collecting:) knives. I am an outdoors guy.
A knife for it's own requirement was never on my horizon. I used multiple multi-tools, mostly of inferior quality, many of which ended in some bin, likely (can't even remember where my first of those went... probably one of them saved that chap's life in 172 hours or what ever that movie is called.)
Then a Gerber Shorty which was affixed to my PFD, got me acquainted with the first knife for it's own purpose. I walked around with that knife on my PFD, as if I had entered a drawing room full of judging people. Anyways over the years, I have accumulated many more Gerbers, a Kabar Machete, Kershaw EDC folder, Mora Companion, Couple of multi-tools (including a Gerber and a Leatherman), and a miscellaneous array of tools and implements for outdoor and domestic work.
My interest is largely as a user, and accumulator, but once in a while, I get dragged into technicalities...
So that's me:)
