I remember the day that I bought a Spyderco Resilience and thought, "Geez, this is gonna be the most I ever spend on a knife.. " Here are the three on/with me today.

ZT 0566CF - $165
MT Ultratech - $225
Mcusta Tactility Cocobolo - $125

Wait till you buy a strider.... then a marfione custom or a MSC... it gets worse trust me...
 
Just wait till you catch the Busse bug and drop a couple grand on a ganzza! Welcome to the sickness.
 
Knives are so good these days. You get one and go this is amazing, I need to see how cool the other ones are. It's something about the blades though. They're magic.
 
Wait so those won't end after a sebenza? Not that I'm there yet I'm just warming up to a +$150 price tag, but still was hoping that a Sebenza was the top of the line stopping point. Especially being strider Emerson and protech etc have never caught my eye.
 
It really never ends. I went all the way up to customs, now going back down to knives I know are great( I do have one more custom on order though). Almost have my "perfect assortment", then I am telling myself I am done buying. But there's more, this month I started working on making a folder, already made a fixed blade. So I guess you just keep going.

So true, everyone has to find their comfort zone and likes. I for one really like smaller pocketable traditionals a combo edge or two and FFG Spydercos. I always fall back on those categories.

PS the harder part for me to reconcile is that most of the time I'm just cutting open a package of string cheese for my wife vs some type of swashbuckling adventure.

I do enjoy seeing posts of the as who really put knives through their paces.

I am definitely headed down the slippery slope. My milestones were $100, then $200, then $400, then just yesterday $650...

And I have been drooling over RJ Martin customs lately, so I know that it is just going to get worse from here...

I myself have climbed up (or down?) the ladder to customs very quickly and back to factories now (with a standing custom order), and found a near grail. Then, I started to look at belt grinders! You are ahead of me.

LoL, I started out with a $30 Skyline, - now I don't flinch at the prices of some of the customs I like.
 
I made the mistake of running a Quicken report to see how much money I've spent over the past five years on knives. :eek:
 
That's why I rarely visit...only do I show when I already decided I need to buy something. I have a lot of forums like that, can't hang around or I'd buy too much stuff. By this method my most expensive knife purchases have been an S30V spyderco military, ZT0200 (both 7+ years ago, sold the ZT), and just now a PM2 blurple S110V. So like $150 tops I guess
 
I am looking into hiring Thomas Linton to sue ALL of you for contributing to the addiction of an elderly person. :grumpy:
