knives, the new crack?

[rjstew317]

why didn't i listen when all you people were saying that knives are addicting? i find myself obsessed at the moment, and now i have bald spots all over my arms. last night....or should i say early this morning (1:30 am), i ordered a new seal pup elite and i picked up another knife yesterday afternoon. the funny thing is neither are the one that i really wanted, so i will probably be picking up an ESEE 4 next week. i think this is going to start getting expensive real fast!

thats how it works. just like any other overly obsessed hobby. you often think i am not gonna buy anymore ect and then you look and a knife you been trying to buy for a year is finally for sale so that goes out the window.

I view it more as methadone to my gun addiction.

This is what happens the first time you buy yourself a QUALITY knife. You can't help but buy more.

I've heard those bald spots called "knifer's mange", "knife fighter's mange", and a few other things.

I suffer from that as well.

 

[Oliver]

I have one....I want MANY.
YES they absolutely are addicting. I too will be picking up an ESEE soon.

 

[rjstew317]

are there any shops in the Indy area that have a good selection on hand? i plan on making m next purchase from knifelady, but i would like to maybe fondle a few in the mean time.

The QUALITY part is what got me. I was never a big knife person until I bought my first good one.

 

[Capt. Jeff]

yeah the ARE addicting!!

buying them is one thing... but when you start making them... it takes a whole new twist.......

Quality knives are addicting.

And you guys have arm hair? I've had to switch to my leg form time to time

You can sink a lot of money into knives little by little.

I was showing my brother my knives once and he asked how much they were all worth total. I had to think a while but it was like $5000 at the time and I am not into really high end stuff. Mostly Benchmades and Spydercos. It adds up fast.

I have since trimmed way down because that was a wake up call to me. I had 3-4 of the same knife just because I liked it and wanted to make sure I always had a spare. That is silly.

Wait it will get worse, much worse.

Yep just give me a call and I can meet you in Greenfield and let you fondle many ESEE knives.

You've been a member since 2009. Will you please get the last six posts and put some of those extra blades in the classifieds?!

If he's got something you want, Que, tell him you'll pay his site supporter fee + the difference for the knife you're after! Win-win!
