Then trade it away, and repeat above with knife you just traded for. Then a couple weeks later, grave sorrow for trading your knife, try and trade for another... I tell you, it truley is a sickness

I actually only get what I will absolutely need. Nothing that is just neat or something I want. Of course my definition of need is quite loose .

Hmm... no offense, Lavan, but to me, judging my the titles and content of threads and post you've started,in general, you either seem to be constantly in heightened state of euphoria, or a really cool guy.

So tell us, is it better to buy less expensive knives so that you get the WHEEE more often, or is it better to buy expensive knives and get a higher longer lasting WHEEEEEEEE, but not as often?


(And is there a relationship between the cost of the knife and strength/length of the WHEEE?)

For me it's

buy knife

buy another knife

"hey that one's cool, I might need one like that some day" - buy knife

repeat steps 1-3

Carry 1 for office, 1 for weekend, + drawer full of knives unused

"Hey, what am I doing with all these knives I don't carry"

sell knives except regular carry pieces

wait 2-3 weeks

"hey that one's cool, I might need one like that some day" - buy knife

repeat ad infinitum

I think its a little like

1 buy knife

2 whilst waiting for knife see BF.com

3 make list of 10 plus knives

4 wait for paycheck, see there isn't enough for ten, buy one

5 six months later you have one of the knives on the original list but 15 more that weren't

6 take out loan to buy knives you'll rarely use

repeat and stir
