A few weeks ago i had the desire for the paramilitary 2, naturally i wanted instant satisfaction, so i set out to get myself a new pocket folder. After going to a few places, the pm2 was nowhere to be found. In the end i picked up the Manix 2. Nice knife, feels solid, fit and finish is great, and has a good feel in the hand. I just cannot get used to the ball lock.
Anyway, i wanted to retire my emerson cqc 15 as it has been threw the ringer and back again. { still solid as a rock, but i wanted a new to me knife } So yesterday i set out and brought myself home a Emerson roadhouse in desert tan g 10. My Emerson knives have never failed me, all are built like tanks and you gotta love the wave feature. I passed on my cqc 7 and 10 to friends that would never go spend that kind of coin on a pocket knife, but they know quality when they touch it.
I would post pics, but it says i am not worthy of posting attachments, what gives ?
 
head over to an easy hosting site like imgur.com, click a few buttons and it will upload it AND give you the proper link to use.

Other than that, there are many here with worse problems than that. I wouldn't worry too much about it :p

This...as long as you have still have money to eat your fine:D (even if it's just ramen noodles haha)
 
You have a problem, but not as bad as the rest of us. This week; I ordered a Hinderer XM-18 3.5" Flipper, ZT 0560CBCF, Spyderco PM2, Sunwayman V10R Ti+, EagleTac D25C Ti Clicky, custom titanium mini-pry bar, Leatherman Skeletool CX, and an Aluminum FOX Karambit. About $1500 in gear in a week, and I have only gotten the Karambit so far.

Natedog351 has got some problems as well. :p
 
No problem yet, I have ordered 10+ knives in the past 3 days or so and mostly all Spyderco, Zero Tolerance, and Benchmade.
 
As soon as you're making a post titled "52 weeks, 52 knives, I HAVE A PROBLEM", you'll have officially caught up to the rest of us...haha.
 
I have $800 worth of Emersons ordered at the moment and I'm fighting the urge for 2 more. It's not a problem, just a hobby.
 
If I don't order at least 4 blades every 2 weeks it's because I had more than my usual expenses. This week I ordered a Condor Boomslang, Condor Hudson Bay, and an Ontario SP10. The only reason I didn't order a 4th this week is because a)a good friend's birthday was on the 4th, and we weren't able to get together till this coming Thursday, so I bought her a gift and set money aside to take her out to dinner, b)I'm a gamer, I play WoW, and my subscription runs out the 18, so I had to set aside funds for that, AND c)I've been hooked on the TV series Community and decided to buy seasons 1-2 on DVD. Without any one of those 3 things I would have had at least 1 more blade ordered, lol.
 
Nope, 3 in a week is a problem, but I think that's still low to some people here.

Yep, why would 3 be a problem? Back when I got paid weekly I often got 3 knives a week...now I get paid every 2 weeks, but I generally buy at least 4 knives every 2 week, sometimes more. It's not a problem as long as you have the money for them-if you can't pay your bills, feed your family, gas up the car or what not because of your knife buying, THEN it's a problem...regardless of whether it's because you bought one expensive custom knife, 2 mid-techs, 5 $150+ Spydercos, or 2 dozen Byrd/Kershaw budget knives.
 
At the beginning of the year I think I had about 6 knives. I had planned to add at most one per month. Here we are in June and I have nearly 60. So that's about 4 years of knife purchases in 6 months. So you've got a ways to go before you have a problem!
 
Man, this thread is kind of making me feel good. I only have $300 worth of knife ordered. :D
