Ever total up how much you have spent on knives?

it's like looking back and adding up all the calories after buffet, or a trip to mcdonald's - what's the point?!

guilty pleasure - enjoy and don't look back

yolo
 
I don't really care. When I fill up the gas tank, that money is gone. When I take the warden out for a night, that money is gone. When I buy another cutting tool, it is usually still around for additional use years later.

In guitars and amplifiers I've had easily $100,000 come and go. Fwiw, I'm poor.
Knives? At least $20,000

Every time I try, something cool, rare or new pops up and boom! :( The key for me is to never go look, disable all my ebay search links or stay off the net entirely. I've never saved so much money as when my laptop crashed and I was offline for 5 weeks. :D

Same with my mom and cars. She gets bored and looks on Craigslist. We started with car a as only one but she then bought car b for gas mileage then was bored and that's how we got car c so then she sold car b then bought me a car then bought car d and sold car c then decided my car after a year of work wasn't worth putting more time into so we bought me a different one and sold the other one. All in two years. If she never looked in cl then we would only have car a and b not car a d and mine. Same with knives for me but i've withheld since I bought a delica in January but last year I bought more than I shoulda. Let's see there's that one that one ow math hurts three weeks left before school starts up again please don't make me do math before then

Insurance purposes, every single thing is itemized line by line in a spreadsheet.

The amount of $$ in have tied up in guns & knives is no joke, so I made sure early on I was protected.

And yes, I absolutely HATE looking at the totals column.

More spent on knives that the total amount of cash that I currently have on all my bank accounts, credit cards + other savings (metallic, in the safe)

My gosh...
but well, I always tell myself that "we only live once" and all that money won't give me any pleasure/service when I'm dead, which could be tomorrow or in an hour

Gotta have excuses ;)
 
Way too much, I don't think about it very often but it sneaks up on you it seems! This dozen alone totals out to over 4000 bucks! Being I have dozens more I'm trying not to think about that either. I've slowed way down though, but I still can't start to get rid of them for some reason. Guess I just like to hoard knives. My dad always says, well at least they're not eating anything!

I like this and I don't even know the conversion to US dollars any more.

I have a knife file (MS Word) where I mostly keep track of my better or more expensive knives. It is mostly not about the price, but the materials and so forth. I really don't keep track of my knife expenditures.

I keep track with firearms (spreadsheet++), especially purchase price vs "value". Not into "current value" with knives. But the dollar amount can be substantial over a period of years.

Was doing a little shopping yesterday and ran onto some 22LR and 22 WMR. Got into a chat with a gent there about rimfire ammo and he mentioned he had about 10,000 rounds at home. I smiled and said I really don't keep track, but my cache numbers are substantially larger (like 3x, 4x, 5x) than that and I haven't even bought any since Sandy Hook. At today's prices, I have a lot of money tied up in rainy day ammo. I was looking for 22 WMR. Bought a couple boxes. Ammo doesn't eat anything either.

Keeping a spreadsheet is smart. I'm going to start doing that for personal items. Quick total of the cost of my current knives shows approximately $295 in folders and $225 in fixed. My current knives were purchased over the course of 8 years. I've lost a few knives in high school and college that I kept having to repurchase and I went on a budget knife buying binge a year or two ago. Luckily I was able to recoup most of that money when I sold them off. So I'd guess the total money I've spent on all the knives over my entire life to be below a grand.

I used to buy a few nice knives a month. Now I am married and the deal is knife in - knife out. I have to sell one (or sometimes two or three) to fund my newest purchase. I am allowed 2-3 new knives per year though. Probably for the best though; I was getting a little out of control.
 
No- I look at the table and can see in real time what's invested. I try to buy and sell wisely so if I lose 20% on a knife it's no big deal. In the long run probably less expensive than other hobbies because knives reflect a tangible asset.
 
My hobbies:
Guns: roughly $8000 if I were to sell them, haven't bought one one a while.

Knives: roughly $3000

A/V: $6000 at least in family room. $1300 in one of my cars. The other has a 10 speaker Infinity system.

Shoes:
Since age 16: $10000 at least. Might be $15000.

Hot wheels: Don't know, I buy them for my nephews now.

Memory foam mattresses:
I have two: $6500 maybe.
Pillows: $2000?

Clothes

Tangible asset.... I suppose. But I view them akin to gasoline. Buy it. Use it. The money is gone. But I enjoy a good knife.

When we move I swear I moved a ton of thirty something carbine ammo. We don't even have anything to shoot that ammo either. We are set on everything but twenty two because it's hard to get here. Got quite the number of 4570 as well.
Back on subject screw you man. I had a dream that I was grown up married and got caught doing the math by a wife. Cmon I'm barely a high school senior don't make me worry about this stuff haha
