Is this what a drug addict feels like?

That's right.

Year before last I took a vow of knife celibacy. No more knives. I swore them off. Don't need anymore. I've got all I can possibly use.

And then the RC5 came out.

I've fought.

And I've fought.

And I've fought.

I'm not winning. Need strength for round five.

Here I sit, my bank card in hand. A picture of the RC5 up on my screen. Yearning to baton, shave, whack, chop, and fire bow the hell out of things. I keep telling myself: "Just give it a couple more days. Just a couple more days and maybe this feeling will wear off."

But from somewhere to my left comes a voice. It's a sweet voice. But I know it just means to see me bent before its will: driven, broken, addicted again. This voice says: "Just one more. Look at it, do you know all the stuff you could do with that. And it comes in "Olive Drab"."

I feel cheap. I feel tawdry. I feel dirty.

I want it so badly I can feel the micarta in my hand and a small taste of the joy of opening that oh, so infamous, USPS box to see the Rat Cutlery symbol.

Damn you Rat Cutlery. Only you can cause me so much sensual heart ache.

Well, you and my wife when she decides to come trotting through the house fresh out of the shower...

First it was the old RAT 7, then the Izula, now this damnable RC5. What next? The HEST? The Lite Machete? The...::gulp::...Junglas? OH THE HUMANITY!!

Talk me down kids, I'm about to pull a $150 trigger.
 
Man, I'm in the same situation. I've got one for every situation but I find myself constantly going to the website and drooling.
 
It's going to happen; don't fight it. If you must, tell yourself that you could always trade one away in the Exchange sub-forum, or even have a give-away. But we all know that you'll own more RATs :D
 
just hold on 6 more weeks - then the Junglas will hit the dealers' shelves...
and I won't tell you about the RC5 with spec ops sheath that was in the for sale section dirt cheap this morning...
fortunately a newby beat me to it by 5 min, or I'd be explaining things to SWMBO myself...
 
Dude.. just start budgeting for knives, allow yourself a new one every month, or set a money limit, so if you want something more expensive one month, you will have to wait two to get it.

Of course you could just buy it and go use it.. you know you want to.. It would be sweet, just picture it in your trembling hands, imagine the heft.. do it...dooooo iiiiit..

Sorry.. No, saving up is the right way to go ;)
 
Just try hold back. You might get the shakes and feel cold all the time, but withdrawals are always hard. :D
 
You can also stick to buying used knives only. That way you have to wait for them to come up for sale and they don't loose very much of their value, should you ever want to resell them. (a lesson I m currently learning)

BTW -just buy it, you know you are not strong enough to wait and still maintain your sanity.:p
 
Encouraging the one who wants to be talked out of getting it? Very helpful :D

Anyway, you should get it. You know you want it. :p
 
Coming to this place to be talked out of buying a knife is like going to a crackhouse for a Narcotics Anonymous meeting.

It ain't gonna work.

Just to let you efferz know...I now have an RC5 in OD with plain edge coming at me.

Only an RC knife could make me break the vow.

Now I owe the wife an expensive birthday dinner....and a new pair of shoes.
 
Stick your bank card in a shredder and then report it lost. Gives you at least a week to get over it. :D
 
You got it, Ratsie.

To make myself feel better about being a dirty knifewhore, I'm gonna beat the crap outta this knife the first chance I get.

And if I still ain't sassified...I might do a pass around.

This thing is gonna rue the day it made me shoot up with the knife drug again. I'm talkin' imminent rue-age.
 
If I did that I'd have no reason go to work.

Well, okay, there is that addiction to outdoors and guns.

This crap keeps up, I'll have to get me one of them ratpack numbers and start visiting this joint regularly.

Yeah, right. So I can talk myself into the Junglas when it comes out...that's just what I need to do. :rolleyes: :D
 
lucky>>

There are other things she has made it loud and clear that she desires. Those, however, are not family friendly.

And I'm all too glad to oblige them.

I have to say. I have a good woman. She puts up with my "no more knives after this one" BS. Knowing good and well there'll be another eventually. I guess she thinks "atleast he's not a cheater."

Then again, I did buy her a lime green Case for Christmas. I think she's getting started into my addiction.

I'm gonna show her the pink Izulas.
 
actually i think it is envy or the i want this and i have to have it now thing. i think that a lot of people struggle with this. i love to buy things but i dont always have the money so i cant justify buying one. of course its not always a bad thing to want something, as long as you dont make irrational decisions. i mean, if you say that im going to not drink starbucks for a week or a month so i can buy a new knife than i say that that is a good thing.
:p

(of course i am pretty sure that that question was sort of suppose to be a joke, correct me if i am wrong though)
