I enjoy spending time in the kitchen & cooking. l like nice tools made well for a specific task.
The santoku & bunka are very similar for sure (bunka has a very thin blade compared to santoku though), but apart from those two, they are all good at separate specific tasks. The petty was easily the one used most often (as can be seen by the wear) but the recently aquired honesuki has now taken that spot.
You could 100% get by with just two of them (three if you eat bread), but nicely made kitchen utensils and knives are things that I get a lot of satisfaction from using daily, and they are nice things made by humans that last a long time if you treat them well, so are things I choose to spend money on.
Also: why not?
I haven’t spent any money on bikes for a very long time if that makes any difference.
