In 1999, how many knives have you bought, and how much have you spent?

about $500 AUS, way more than i can afford (income is ten a week) They were all stolen. Insurance informs me they ewill pay 320. A cqc7 here costs $499

Well, this could prove to be very incriminating, but ok. Lets see,

BuckMaster
Prodject II
Shadow IV
Mark VI
Eriksen Viking Bowie
Randall 25 (the one I dropped on my foot

)
Randall 26
Randall 18
Buck 560B Titanium
Buck 560 ('86 pocket clip version)
Leatherman Wave
Swiss Tool
BM Leopord
BM Leopord Cub
Sm. Plain Sebenza

I'll let someone else add it up. Mind you, I only own a small fraction of these now. Most have been used in trade to aquire other knives. I also failed to mention some of my "early" lame purchases.

Well I'm not working aon a collection so this is going to sound awfully low to you guys.
1 gerber multi tool $39.95
1 swiss made carving knife $14.95(great knife, low price)
materials to make 4 or 5 more about $80.00
So far I'm under $150

Uncle Bill,
You stated,

* * * WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHILE TYPING YOUR POST. DANGEROUS FOR FEMALE SPOUSAL UNIT TO BE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY * * *


Lets reverse that, cause in my case its the MALE SPOUSAL UNIT who cannot know what I spend. He is not into knives and he is not jumping for joy at my interest in sharp pointy things. The last thing he wants to do is encourage my spending in this area.

This year from what I have on order my total is around $900. I sold a couple of customs I had and put my order in for new goodies. I am also starting my year from last November's knife show where I picked up a knife belt.
 
I spent $500.00 plus at a little gun show in San Jose today.Last week at the Cow Palace I spent $700.00+Just a couple of average excursions into "knifedom"You figure out how much I spent on knives in 1999.
PS My house was burgled and the Insurance Co paid me a bundle.Boy was that fun!

...about $6800 on 11 or so knives, both folders and fixed. I keep telling myself each one I get is the LAST, but that doesn't last too long. I definitely need professional help!

The past 6 months were my first as a knut.

BM Pinnacle
LM Wave
Russell mini lockback
Busse Battle Mistress
Spyderco Starmate

Approx. $675

1, 4, and 5 were purchased for pure sex appeal!

A knife is by default a tool, it's only a weapon when a human chooses to make it so.

 
Whew! There are some serious knife knuts in this thread! Amazing. I spent well into 7 figures on knives last year but luckily found customers for most of them. I know, that doesn't count does it?

Personal purchases were:

Boye BDS 15
Custom Elishewitz Ares
Fallkniven F1
15 or 20 misc. Case knives
Leatherman Wave
SOG Crosscut
EDI Genesis

The total should be less than $1500 with the Elsihewitz taking up more than half of the total. What's next? I'm certainly waiting for the new Schrade Lake and Walker to arrive. I plan to keep one from the first shipment for myself. After that, who knows? Something is likely to catch my fancy. Take care.

You must call it collecting, or it will be called compulsive obsessive disorder. I am a collector !

Well, I'll tell ya what boys. There are alot of folks here who are much taller steppers than me. This year I'm in for about $700. That's about double what I was spending before I got hooked up with you buys.
