Cheapskates: what are you eyeing for 2023?

[dogstar]

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.

Nothing this year. Need ammo.

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 absolute best gas station knife $3.99 can buy!
Maybe if I'm lucky, Menards will run their junk Chinese knives for $3.99 with a $4.00 rebate.

There is no judgment from me, but are you serious or joking?

 

[Hal]

A little of both really.
I kind of enjoy real cheap knives that end up being pretty decent for a beater.

No purchases (just sales) planned for 2023.

 

[Black Denim]

Kershaw Iridium

 

[nhobo]

Sencut Neches, en route.

And I'm not cheap, just frugal.

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".

 

[HexY3co]

All of them

 

[coolbreezy37]

Maybe an Esee 6.

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.

Nothing planned, but that can change quickly. I need ammo also.

Same here on shells for Trap shooting. Gettin expensive for two rounds of clays on Sunday. BUT Birthday coming up which means gift cards. Wanting that Sog Trident FX that is finally coming available.

 

[sonofwilfred]

I'm going to find replacement bits for my Cybertool SAK

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.

 

[Danny Linguini]

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.

 

[Shorttime]

So, are all the other cheapskates also David Mary fans...?

 

[DangerZone98]

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