That Kiwi is a nice setup, I was considering picking one up.
I have way too many knives, I think I'm over 20. My EDC is a Benchmade red label Mini Pika with a smooth edge; it's compact and the clip sits it lower in my pocket than any other knife I've owned. They're cheap and disposable (I picked up 4 of them for around $30 apiece) so I don't cry when I beat one up.
Most of my collection is Spydercos, with a few CRKT beaters and a Kershaw Random Leek that I don't carry often because I'll probably get bent over for it in this nanny state.

Here are my toys:
My EDC is a CRKT M16-13Z. Suits me perfectly for my everyday needs since I don't do anything heavy duty or hardcore. Just a tool knife.
Boker Magnum Automatic Conversion, fun knife to play around with. Good weight. I was carrying this before I got my CRKT as a EDC Lol.
Jaguar cheap butterfly, my practice balisong, its pretty light.
Spyderco REPlica Spyderfly.
Spyderco Baliyo, a fisher space pen. LOL
I dont believe in paying hundreds for balisongs and not be able to carry it and use it outside of home, so thats why I purchase cheap ones and just throw them out when they are overused. It would be knife to have a BM-42 or a Morpho, or a Spyderfly.

Where's a good place to get stuff like that? I need a good knife for cutting stuff like sashimi and seared ahi. Been thinking about a Kyocera ceramic, but I am not sure how long it would last at my place.

I don't like ceramic knives. I've tried a few dozen and none of them really left me feeling satisfied. They can be brutally sharp, but the lack of weight and ease with which the edge can break left me wanting more. And on top of that you can't really sharpen ceramic knives by yourself, at least not easily or efficiently like you can with carbon steel.
