After having said "this is the last knife I'm buying" the last couple times, I have once again given in. I've been eyeing up a particular model for a while. Then I got an email notification of a drop, and I couldn't get my credit card out fast enough:oops:. Now I'm patiently waiting for my Montana Knife company package to arrive. You see I really need an ultra light fixed blade...so it's not my fault. I had to do it.

Is there a twelve step rehab program (something ending in " . . .anon") for knife b users?

You know . . .where a group meets regularly to talk about what they bought and how cool it is and who also has one but with the different . . .Oh that would never work!

So what did you get? Speedgoat?

Stoned goat in magnacut. The blade profile is better on it for most of what I do. I almost pulled the trigger on a Speedgoat when they came out, but I resisted. The Stoned goat 2.0 fixed all the things I wanted to see. You never know for sure till you get it in your hand, I'm thinking it's going to be pretty sweet though.

Oh man, kicking the addiction is tough.

I made the decision some years back not to buy any more knives for myself, and I've stuck to it. I just don't have any practical need for them (or the ones I already have), and I no longer have any "disposable income", so I can't justify the cost in my head. I don't need more knives sitting around doing nothing.

"Just because I like it" used to be a good enough reason to buy a new knife, but then it got to the point that I'd buy a new knife, enjoy the initial high of the acquisition, and then the practical part of my brain would say "Now what are you going to do with it?", and the knife would inevitably end up in storage with me saying "Why did I buy that?".

But I still get the urge.

I was browsing the internet researching knives recently and I came across two that really tested my resolve, the Giant Mouse GMF4, and the Begg Knives Filoso. I really like both of them, and it was tough to resist the little voice inside my head that says "C'mon, you know you want it. It's not really expensive. You deserve it. Think about how much you'll enjoy owning it". But I'm holding tough.

The Filoso is a dagger, and I REALLY have no use for it. The GMF4 on the other hand is a very practical, all-purpose fixed-blade, and if I carried a fixed-blade, or simply needed one, I would buy one. But I don't, so I won't.

Still holding strong. Taking it one day at a time. But it ain't easy .

Don't give in !
maybe if you can do it I can do it.
I was looking at Ultem handled knives today after reading more about the material today. I'm not impressed with the stuff but began falling under the spell of the phrase : don't think of it as solidified piss (my first impression when I first saw it) but more like Amber . . . aaahhhh.

Yep I swear if the one I thought was smooth and clear had turned out to be so I would have ordered it. Had some texture after all ; so not like a chunk of amber.
Boy, that was close. 😣
 
Been there, done that. If it's not knives, its flashlights or firearms. Yeck, we could be spending our $$ on way worse things. I think of it as we are helping the economy!
