look at this sexy killing tool
I sometimes wonder how much kitchen knife fandom is linked to the weapon aspect. Does anyone understand the psychology? And what about the gender balance? Are women as interested in the minutiae of knife design and construction?

A big generalisation, but boys like collecting stuff.
Football stickers, stamps, coins, trading cards, watches, memorabilia, Warhammer, knives, guns, books, cameras, lenses, books, consoles, pens, trainers, tools among many other things.
There is no logical reason why I should own 10 swiss army knives, but I do.Not to say that girls/women don't also, but largely the collectible item market is seems geared towards men.
Regarding the sexy killing tool comment, I wonder how many 'meat is murder' vegans are Japanese carbon steel, or hunting knife/EDC knife collectors. Of course, vegans are allowed nice things too, I get that a sashimi yanagiba knife might not be 'knife pron' if you're that way inclined.

Funnily I was talking with another forum member this morning, and we were postulating one prolific poster on here was probably that kid at school who had copies of guns and ammo and ninja training manuals.

Yeah I dunno, either porn featuring knives or more EDC/ look at this sexy killing tool that I actually just use to open cured meat packets in Viccy Park on a summer’s eve
(Sorry bit of a judgemental derail – recommend me a veg knife!)
