I mean if you are depressed over freaking knives etc. you need to see someone in a professional capacity. It isn't a joking matter in the least. My advice is see a professional.

Lighten up. Maybe you're the one who needs help getting the stick out of your ass.

Thanks, every one else.

I don't know if you have time to do this but here goes.

Go back to school. Over the last 6 years I spent 3 at the local comm college learning welding(1yr) and machining. I loved every second of it, learning new things is always exciting.

If I can get all my ducks in a row in the next few years I'll probably go back for some carpentry and cabinet making.

I like to work with my hands and build things but their are many different ways to go, just as long as you learn something and have fun doing it.

When the dragon is resting in its lair, let it lie! Soon enough will the fires roil in its belly, the itch begin betwixt the scales (don't confuse this with indigestion or eczema)...and when he moves, make sure there there is a full sheaf within the pocketfold, and new maidens to consume! Nothing pisses off a dragon more than flying around all day and not seeing any new treasure to hoard.

Yeah fulloflead...what he said.



Warthog: If I was ever being attacked by a slow-moving horde of flesh eating undead zombies I would want to borrow your shotgun. And a chainsaw, a nice big chainsaw.

I was going to say that if you have no more interest in aquiring knives then it is time to take that twenty story belly flop, but I can see from some of the responses that this might be considered politically incorrect. Like that has ever entered my mind as reason for not doing something.

Books: This fall I started a journey into knives of legend. Quite a frontier! There is so much about knives, there is no room for being bored.

 

[Tracer-san]

Read. Celine mostly. "Journey to the end of the night" preferrable.

Notdos was one helluva advice too... Nice one man!

On second thought, I think your reason for loosing intrests the way you are is b/c you started out with some inexpensive Sogs and CRKTS, and now you have all the BMs and Microtechs you want. Only way to go is customs, and thats too much money right?? Ok, well if you want to drop me a line, I have a solution for you. You and I will conduct a few trades were you will aquire several very nice Forst Cultery Models, then you start to work your way back up.

I say go see Darrel Ralph, and start putting together some of his knife kits!

I'm currently working on one, and I have found it enjoyable enough that I'm going to purchase a couple more kits after I get thru the holidays. They are inexpensive, and you can embellish them any way you like, for that 'almost custom' knife, that you can be proud of!

See the kits here



There are several things you can do that are knife related. Pick one, and have fun!

Immediately sell everything and start over. Whenever you sell at a loss just stare in the mirror and sing Barbara Streisand songs as loud as you possibly can. Everything will be fine.

Not knowing how serious your feelings are, I'ss give two replies.

One is, if you loose interest in your favorite things and talk about suicide even in jest it may be a sign of depression. There is truth in humor.

Now, if you think #1 is baloney then...find other interests.

I burn out on things, mostly because I focus on them intently. I go from guns, to lights, to hunting stuff, then back to knives. I went from knives to fine knives. I saved up and got a custom folder. Opens like butter, and like the custom handle. I went nuts and got a Lab...that turned out to be a helluva lot of work, but it is nice relationship.

Good luck.

AnklePocket, judging from your sales posts, you're probably pretty damn good at singing those Streisand songs.

ME TOO


See fullo'lead. You could always gear up and go zombie hunting. Sure they aren't real and you'd probably get put in jail.....but it wouldn't be boring. And there's always a good chance some hapless scientist will accidentally reanimate dead flesh, not to mention the indian burial grounds that havent been built on yet. You could get lucky, then think if the fun.

That or knife kits sounds like a good idea.

I feel your pain. I have found the perfect folder, my framelock commander.

I will now buy no other folders, other than duplicates of this one.

As for yourself, I recomend hookers, cocaine and fast cars. That will cheer you up.
