Are You A HOG?. . . .

I, too, am fine with the idea of "levels" of HOGdom.

I was inducted at Blade '07, but there's just no way I qualify as high in the HOG hierarchy as Cobalt or ProGunner.

And I very much agree with Tony G's sentiments. It's not about the number of knives you have -- Schuey2002 is at LEAST as much a HOG as I am!

[Having been around only a little over a year, I think of myself as an 'inducted piglet' ... or maybe an 'inducted oinker.' Of course, I still aspire to full inducted HOGdom -- some day!] :D

If the number of knives you had were a definite prerequisite I'd be nixxed right off the bat:p....the ones I like (for the most part) are too hard to find and expensive to have more than a handful :D (at least for me) but a nice handful it is....kinda like a handful of Jessica Alba :thumbup:.

But serously: All the knife pics, sales, purchases, trades, picking through old threads for leads, countless PM's/emails back and forth and just shooting the s#$% in general with everyone here has been a pleasure.

And still: if anyone knows where a Euro Handled ZTBM is......:thumbup:

Now to finish refinishing my SFNO :D
 
I pick something and go after it. I think pbubsy can back me up on that. ;)

I have gathered a few pieces in the last couple of months from all 3 of the busse trilogy. I have also given Infi to my best man at my wedding and to my father. I spent less on my first car than I have spent on Infi. :eek:

I have tried to bribe Amy-0 for a proto folder (it is in the mail! :D)

I have spent countless hours reading the forums here, including posts from years gone and hammer refreshing the BCS.

Regardless if I am considered a HOG, I like it here & I like the group. As i learn more, i try to share more!

Barring major problems, Blade 08 here I come! :D

I remember you sniffed out a couple choice pieces of INFI and collected them from me :D
 
I'll let you know when I am done with them!

You can buy me a drink or 3 at Blade as a thank you.... :D

Any guy that can root out seven SHBMs in under a year has very Hog-like attitudes. :thumbup:

In that case, make sure you bring your platinum card or three! :D :p

:D I've had 10 different ones at different times and they're easily the sweetest knives out there. I can thank Mulder for that :foot: addiction. I got my first one from him while learning the way of the stealth hog under his tutilage. I'm currently trying to get that first one back....it's sentimental :p NO REGRETS though!

I noticed you've got quite the collection going Guy!!!! Your group of SFNO's is amazing! Not to mention that you scored a Eu-17 Regular at the height of my Eu hogging frenzy :p
 
Hmm. Here's my thoughts. (which don't amount to much :D )

If you asked me a year or so ago, I would've said Busse knives were just knives and were over priced. I was scared to come in and post in this forum since it was such a tight knit group of people and I didn't want to be an "outsider". I love knives and blades of all make, size, type, maker, etc. I appreciate true craftsmanship, so after much internal deliberation, I finally took the plunge and decided to pick up some INFI.

From that moment on, I was hooked. It helped me break out of my shell and post a little in here. I still don't post in here much, but I read everything that gets posted. It's to the point that I check the forum multiple times every day just to see what's new and going on. I feel like I really know some of you, even though you don't know me and we've never met.

After the initial piece of INFI, I had to have another,....and then another,.... and then another! It doesn't look like there's any ending in sight. :D For me, money is the only limiting factor. I've melted my credit cards, re-arranged accounts and collected outstanding debts just to get that next piece of INFI. In less than a year, I've spent a couple thousand dollars on knives, and it still doesn't compare to what some of you spend on a whim. If I had more, I'd spend more. :p

Does this make me a HOG? Who knows, and frankly it doesn't bother me. Call me whatever you want, as long as it's not late for dinner!

I come here because I truly enjoy reading all your posts and I feel a common bond with many of you, even if I don't post much. That's just the type of person I am. I'm relatively quiet, and listen more than I talk. To me, it's like trying to place a monetary value on something that's priceless, it just doesn't fit. I've never been one for labels and standings. As far as I'm concerned, everybody here is a hog. People that enjoy a common interest and take pride in owning a piece of something that is truly special. INFI!:thumbup:


And as a parting statement, I'd just like to say:

I'LL TAKE IT!!

-Dan

MD13: Your generosity and willingness to help fellow brothers out here are pretty HOG like in my book. ;)

Thanks for the kind words Tyrkon. I think your words ring true for all the INFI-holics that frequent this forum, including yourself. :thumbup:

Well, since I just purchased my 19th and 20th Wauseon blades (a couple of beat up Meaners) from a friend who was in need of some cashola, that definitely gets me out of the piglet category, I guess... :)

Your pics and vid of the AK were a big influence for me in buying an AK of my own. You, my friend, are a HOG! :thumbup:

Almost the same for me. Tyrkon's vids, and meeting Dave Brown whilst wielding his own @ Blade in Atlanta were the things that tipped me over to getting one. Influenced by two definite HOGs!! :thumbup:
