I used to collect folding knives. No fancy customs, but including some costing above 350USD and exotic steels. I used to rotate my favs among them as my EDC, and was always searching and lusting for what I'd buy next. Buying this cheap knife with its "old" D2 steel just to check it out felt dirty. That was almost 2 years ago. Since then, the PF838C is the only knife that has been in my pocket, and I haven't bought any new knife. I've lost the will to look for a new one. Only now the buying itch is starting to come back, but I can only think about buying another Petrified Fish, or even another PF838C, out of anxiety that it may go out of production!
