I need to stop buying knives for a while too. Start saving for a car (14 now) maybe. I have a 350, 560, mili, delica, salt 1 and a few others. I think that's a solid rotation.

I was just thinking about the same thing when I came across your post. I recently sold a knife and was thinking about my next purchase when I just felt kinda empty. How many knives do I really need? It's time I start doing more for other people with my time and money. I'm going to do something great. Thanks for your post.
 
Awesome post.
I'm sorry to hear about your hardships and hope things come around soon for you.
Appreciating what we have is something that most humans aren't very good at until they go without.
I've never had a lot of money, I come from a pretty poor background and have always had to figure things out before I could get something new. A lot of times it will be months and months before I can buy something new. So getting used to what I have, trading, or selling stuff to get something else has been what I do.
A lot of times I've had to sell things off to help the family, and even though I like to keep my things, it's worth it.
I have great knives and appreciate them all. I get new ones when I'm able to and don't have more important things to take care of. In a way, I'm happy I'm not super well off. I think it helps to make me appreciate everything just a little more.

Life is hard, we just have to love what and who we have, give thanks every day, and be happy.

I can't be thankful enough for having what I have and for my mother and brother.
 
Yo I feel for you . Your attitude is very admiring keep it up . I don't believe in luck but do in blessing and some times we can't explain why but at the end we see that all thing work out for the good . It hit me when you wrote that getting a new knife and looking for your next one. That's the way I'm going not even taking them out of the box and looking for a great deal and when I get it I don't even appreciate it. It has to be more than blades that we are looking for when getting one doesn't satisfy me or those who feel like me.
