I am new to knives and have a dumb question. Is this a collector item or a knife that is functional for EDC, hunting and fishing? I am willing to pay for quality materials but don’t necessarily need a collector item. Thanks.

iKnowKungFuGet the Crux if your looking for something readily available and utilitarian, this one would function fine for what you want but it's a longer wait and the Crux is like vanilla heat.

iKnowKungFuYou will not be disappointed in the Crux. By far my favorite of the massdrop ferrum forge knives. Welcome to the addiction.

iKnowKungFuThere are lots of different methods but I'm partial to my Wicked Edge sharpening system.
I think it makes it easy to hold a repeatable angle and they offer lots of different stone grits.
They also have a Youtube channel and forum with lots of helpful info.

iKnowKungFuNo problem, I discovered them last year right around the time I decided I should try a good titanium framelock, now I have a collection of excellent titanium framelocks.
The Crux is my favorite so far, though if the Keen and Buc are equally good they might become my favorites too. The Falcon is great, it's like a beefier framelock version of the Spyderco Dragonfly, if you'v ever handled one of those. Superb ergos even though the handle looks all small and slender, the curvature of it and the use of negative space+choil+thumb...divot... means it is basically perfect for tasks where you need a good amount of control over the blade.

OmniseedAppreciate all the help.
Ok, so now onto a tougher subject -how to answer the following line of questions from my wife: "Why does someone need so many knives?" and "You paid HOW MUCH for a pocket knife"

iKnowKungFuYou're better off just not telling her man. I'm not into knives (yet) but the crap I get from my coworkers for buying keycaps...
I'm just here to ogle at a knife I can't hope to afford.

iKnowKungFuWould be a great users knife but don't loose it. You can get some cheaper quality users from spyderco, Cold Steel and even Ontario rat's. There is a point to diminishing returns. This one's over that point but you get so much more in quality, materials and construction. So is that worth it to you? I don't buy cheap knives anymore. They cut but always have issues that bother me. Generally 150$-300 range is where I generally see quality. But there's always alot of bad apples in that range too.
The carbonfiber one is definitely a collector knife. But can and will work as a user, and if you don't plan to sell it again use it like I will.
For what it's worth I did not like the MD ffkw knives at all.
