How much have you spent on steel?

$1700 on my current lineup. The money from each catch and release I put right back into a different blade so the total investment isn't too much more.

Considering that's over a three and a half year period, it's not quite as bad as I thought!
 
Right at $2000.00 but that,s lifetime I only started collecting two years ago before that in was one knife every two or three years,
But in all not that crazy yet,, I have almost that much ($1800.00) in just one of my Glocks. (Upgrades, four aftermarket barrels, 18 magazines spare replacement parts).
 
Umm in the past year probably around $3000? Sadly most of that was spent in the last 3 months when I decided to start collecting more high end folders and busse blades.
 
Roughly zero dollars, net. A lot of money has been moved around, granted, but I'm pretty sure I'm running around either a wash or something like a 200 loss or gain overall. Transaction-wise, I've probably put about 7-8 grand out there all inclusive. All of that (roughly) has come back, however. I only buy at prices that I could resell the knife at when used.

Which also means there are a lot of knives I want that I'm STILL waiting to pop up at a decent price. I've been aching to try a CF/ZDP Caly 3.5, but I don't really want a used one (420 laminate scratches easily), and have yet to see one in the 90-100 range.
 
oh man, a lot. just this month i got 2 hinderers and the cru wear military.

The paracord, hand, and "SpydercoBenchmadeKai" paper show that this was not Photoshopped.



Still don't belive me? If you want, I can provide you with a picture of it on top of or with any random household item. (Boy, what happended to trust?) Need a picture of my birth certificate to prove that I'm 13?

Here are some bettter pictures of it:

You misunderstand me. I believe that someone gave you a $5k knife. I can't believe that someone tosses around a $5k present to a 13 year old.

No offense intended, I'm just surprised at the enormity of the gift given to a thirteen year old kid.
 
Wow. I probably have $424 worth of Moras! I am sure I have a lot more than $424 each of Sypyderco, Benchmade, ESEE. Roselli.
 
Just over $2700 this year. I NEVER sell anything though, when I start getting bored with a knife I modify it or experiment with it.

Gotcha. Sorry--I thought that you were saying that I couldn't possibly have gotten it. Thanks for clarifying.:)
 
Ive spent upwards of 1500 on knives. As someone stated, my other activities suck up most of my extra funds. Im sitting on around $7300 in my drum kit....
 
$558.43 in the last 2 months......but I hadn't spent any on knives in the last decade,so I was WAY overdue :p I'll spend 3/4 as much over the next few months,but not all on steel (a good chunk of it hopefully will be the KO edition Work Sharp,and a coupla-three or five more Beckers if I can get away with it,heeheehee :D)
 
All up no idea and its not something I'd probably want to know. In the last 3 months its around $6k though, those big Busse's are not cheap :)

What ever the total it pales to my other hobbies collection.
