Nice to meet you all. I am a long time watch collector, and recent reviewer. I review watches on my YT channel TheWatchMission. I like all kinds of watches from manual to autos to quartz to hybrids. I...

I’m into EDC and I’ve got a silly amount of knives and more wallets, keyrings and fancy screwdrivers than I need.

I've just started looking for some slim knives that will be an EDC for me...if you have any recommendations under the $150 mark please point me the way!

You're into EDC can you help me mate? I'm after a new wallet and don't want to spend more than $20. What are my options?
I am a collector through and through. In addition to watches, I collect comic books, Tolkien books and collectibles, action figures, board games, cartoons, replica swords, film noir movies, etc. Hell, I even collect flip flops (I have over 20 pairs, including a pair of Vans). 🤣
Cars (mostly vintage BMW and Jeep) and bourbons.

I’ve got a picture of three knives the first on the left is a Civivi Elementum then a CRKT Ceo and a Higonokami Hoseki Damascus.
All of these cost less than $100. Let me know if you want to know anymore.
Japanese knives and sneakers 🥲
(Mainly kitchen ones for me cuz I'm also a private chef). I went from hand-crafted knives from master blacksmiths before I got into watches.
I used to love audio systems too, Bang & Olufsen, Bowers & Wilkins,... Really expensive hobby 🤣 which brands or makers do you like?
I like pop culture merch too, the coolest one I have is this Japanese made Thanos that my girlfriend gifted to me last Christmas:

Need a little more info as there is such a huge amount of options out there. What I’d say is if you don’t mind what it looks like you can just go on Amazon and find something cheap. otherwise Trayvax, Trove and Topo Design make nice wallets in that range.
Watches are the most expensive hobby/interest I am into in a landslide
Bourbon/Scotch
I have always loved to fish, and thinking I will start fly fishing which I know has the ability to get expensive quick
Golf depending on how much I go lol
I daydream about spending lots of money on art supplies a lot lol
FFA and livestock showing. Time consuming and a perpetual expense.
Also guitars, since 1996 that I play guitar, and in February I was finally able to buy my dream guitar, the Gibson Les Paul Standard 60's in Bourbon Burst, an absolute dream acomplished.
Now I hope to add a Seiko S23629J1 "the Tuna" to match with the guitar.
I have been into cars since high school, but in grad school I started getting into watches because I couldn’t afford an enthusiast car but I could afford “a nice watch”. Oh how that snowballed. I still don’t have much of a sports car, but I have almost as much into my watch collection as I do my daily driver. I have discussed with one of my friends though that you can spend about as much as you want into any hobby. The one other thing I do regularly spend money on is board games. I am up to about 25 games and have a friend with over 100
Racing cars is stupid expensive!
I have the knife sickness. So many pieces, so little time. Hahahahaha!
Just ordered my first custom one. With all the available options out there you gotta ask why did I do that?😉
Nice watch! My dad was a massive audiophile. He loved tinkering with amps, pre-amps, buying valves, finding the original circuit diagrams and rebuilding them.
I never shared his original passion for Hi-Fi’s but he did get me into watches and I do own that particular Farer too so your post kinda resonated with me 👏
Same story! Here's to dads teaching us to love watches (and like hifi ok). 🍻

Steve from Raven watches runs Finch knives. That might be worth a look.

Guitars mainly. But I haven’t bought a guitar since one year because I spend everything on watches

I've had a few since they started up a couple of years ago. Very nice quality, and the word is Steve is a great guy. I'm sure you'll like it.
Watch, crystals and plants.

LEGO and guitars
Motorcycles from an early age . currently run a Kawasaki vn 1500 highly customised. Also a Yamaha vmax 1200.also another bike that's a winter project
Used to be in cars and HiFi, but lost my passion for that a few years back. Now into watches (obviously) but also into competitive shooting (not sure what the stance on guns are around here)
Electric guitars!
Cooking: nothing like going all out on an extravagant meal and having everything end up going to shit 😂
