Adios, Amigos!

Hey,

Giving up the knife spending might be good.

Just don't give up your friends here.

What he said.

The first year I contributed here I spent somewhere north of $2500 on pocket knives. So far this year I've bought 2, and I think I bought 2 last year. And no, these weren't high dollar customs, just simple SAKs or Cases.

It's easy to get caught up in the "buy, buy, buy" mentality, but it is not a requirement either to forum membership nor knifely happiness. I agree it can tweak the temptation a bit, but "be strong".

In any case, I hope to see you around.

It is nice to see you bouncing back after your recent troubles. Good luck with your house and projects and come back with pictures once you get it all done.

+ 1 on what morrowj said. Good Luck, keep your powder dry and watch your top knot. :thumbup:

Never thought I'd say this, but I have to now face the facts. I know we joke about this a lot, but the damn temptation is much too strong and these knives are burning a hole in my pocket. To be honest, though I love this forum, it's not helping. This post is serving also as an acknowledgment to my weakness which in turn will be the first step in overcoming that weakness. Thus, I am going to wrap up a sale thread, letting it run through tomorrow and call this my last post. I am buying a house (saying goodbye to renting as well ) and have decided to make all of my dining and living room furniture by hand, not the couches. That's why I want to quit the knife spending for a while and focus on bigger, long term goals. Yes I'll still buy on special occasions, Case shows, etc. and keep the hobby going, slowly going that is. It's time to limit myself.

I loved all the wisdom and knowledge that I have been given here by all my fellow knifeaholics, some of which I now call friends, and deeply thank you for that. I feel this is the appropriate place to write this seeing that I spend most of my time here and a traditional spends the most time in my pocket:thumbup:

Godspeed to all.

P.S. For the record. I am making this decision on my own accord and am not being influenced by any woman anti-knifenut.

Well, my friend, a heartfelt goodbye and good luck. As another member posted, you've definitely got your priorities set right. Stop in for a visit every once in a while.

As we say where I'm from, "You'll have a place at our table any time. You & yours are always welcome."

thx - cpr

ps - thanks again for the Wharncliffe Trapper-lock. I've coveted that pattern for a couple of years; it's one I'll never sell.
