I have no self control

I must have just blacked out or something after reading the full-ti frame lock thread, because I just got an email confirming my order for an AG Russell Acies 2...

With my Small Sebenza and Bradley Alias 2, this will make 3 ti frame locks in less than a month

LOL after reading that same thread I almost bought the same knife

its a really nice looking blade. grats on your unexpected buy hehehe

Yeah, it's pretty gorgeous, I hope the ergos match the looks. I am going to have to do something about that shiny clip and those black screw heads though. And even though I've yet to see it in person or hold it, I'm already thinking about doing something like this:

The Acies 2 is a great blade. Its head and shoulders over the Alias 2 and near Sebenza quality.

I went through that whole thread earlier and it has reinforced my want of a Techno.

Common condition here I suppose, you're amongst friends!

I looked at the same thread a few mins ago (for a couple hours lol) and added a couple to my "list"....not that I think I will ever find a Lochsa or be able to afford it if I do....I did post up my Bradleys that are a direct effect of my lack of self control and good ebay deals...

Welcome to group therapy...now head over to the what knives do you have on order thread.

Shawn_Jewell · Jul 12, 2013

Lol. I don't have too much self control either...Went to Academy to get a weighted vest for workouts. Decided to walk around a bit and immediately dropped the vest and bought a Cold Steel ak 47 when I saw the knife section. Also didn't bother to even look at the price...whoops

I had a similar episode. In the past two weeks I ordered a REI Benchmade 530, Zero Tolerance 0600, and a Zero Tolerance 0801.

it is okay, I think it is summer knife madness.

Good one.

There is a saying on a different forum I occasionally frequent which was "Welcome to Head-Fi, I feel sorry for your wallet." (headphone audiophile website) I think we need to adopt something like that here.

And whatever group therapy sessions we come up here, I don't want to go to. It would be nothing but us talking about our knives, knives we own, knives on order, knives were looking at, followed by ordering knives after the session. My wallet can't handle that.

I don't get too excited about Ti Frame locks. I like Titanium, but most of the frame locks only flip in one direction if at all. The Axis locks and the button locks let you flip your knife open and shut. If you are already holding the mylar potato chip in your weak side hand, this is a big deal.

Ya, I've got an audiophile friend and he tells me about those guys
dropping some serious coin. Good thing I'm not bitten by that bug.
