Fellow cheapskates, which purchases are you considering in 2023? I'm a little broke at the moment, so not thinking of anything, but high on my list would be a Buck folder of some kind.

I just ordered a Vosteed Raccoon. Direct from them was like $65 or so? I've heard good things so I figured why not.

The ESEE Churp is the only thing I'm remotely interested in that could be considered "cheap".
Now here's the thing: my "hard ceiling" is $150. Everything else on my short list is more than 1/3 of that price which, I have just arbitrarily decided, is the limit for "cheap".

Welp, I've got a custom job on order from David Mary that won't arrive until spring. Otherwise my only target is a Spyderco Military 2. Neither of those are cheap, but I'm still a cheapskate as I will have to move a few from my collection in order to finance the Military 2.

On the cheaper side, I'm eyeing the Bestechman Ronan and the Sencut Fritch. Definitely getting a CJRB Pyrite but waiting (and have been) for the exclusive from Knifecenter.

Nothing planned here, either. Just scored a bunny knife, also not planned, which really kind of exceeded my targeted cheapskatedness, but it is a bunny knife, so sometimes concessions have to be made. I won’t even mention the set of David Mary modified sheepsfoots I’m eyeballing for fear of totally putting my cheapskate designation in mortal jeopardy. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Maybe one or two older Seiko 5s before they vanish into the pre-owned shadow realm forever.
