True, although the last few times I have invested "in myself" ie: technical training, college degrees, etc. things didn't pan out as favorably as knives have. lol I may not live long enough to ever pay back my student loans. Not that I am saying education is a waste of time. But in my case, circumstances and the fickled finger of fate worked against me.
Still, there's foolish and then there's Foolish. So far over 60% of the knives in my collection cost me $50 or less. And I haven't yet sold a single one trying to "recoup funds" or finance another purchase. Not saying it won't happen, but it hasn't yet.
BTW, I learned at a very young age the difference between need and want. Mom repeatedly explained it to me every time I brought something to her hoping and begging she would buy for me at the store. lol
None of the knives I collect or buy, are knives I need. They are knives I wanted.

The knives I need, are in the butcher block holder in the kitchen, on my boat while fishing, in my pocket at work, or on my belt when hunting.

Absolutely, I understand! I just tried to depress you since you asked me to try convince! :D

Im not trying to be saint here, I do the same thing. I have slowed my pace a lot and rationalized my buys but I will certainly never stop.
 
I can sell you some self-control, but in a few months, we'll release it with different scale options and upgraded steels, and you'll have to buy them to......
 
I'm losing control ever since I came back to this forum, haha!
Oh, look at this,
Ooo, look at that.
And the internet is the perfect gateway, the perfect vehicle, the perfect enabler.
But it sure is fun!
Another modern development: Internet knife buying is cashless, like more and more of what we purchase. We don't see the cash. We don't plop down Benjamins on the new Arno Bernard, the new Olamic.
We just click away.
It's way too easy.

This may all be a blessing. I'm going into those two days with no available cash or credit at my disposal.
SELF CONTROL ACHIEVED!!!! :cool:

I do fear my inability to now buy next month's knife since that budget has already been spent. :oops:
Who knew buying today could have future ramifications. :rolleyes:
