My knife obsession!

I have found that my taste in knives is constantly changing/becoming more 'refined'. I've pretty much stopped buying the latest & greatest 'value' knives and have gifted several of the sort away--all good knives but ultimately rarely used or carried. In my opinion, a collection of any size will always contain a smaller select group of favourites, and these are the ones that hog all the pocket time. I've been focusing on my own favourites and consider what it is about them that I like before making new purchases. The initial buying frenzy that I experienced when I first started collecting is over... or at least has abated... for now... I guess...

...one day at a time...
 
Sell some...then when you buy a new one, replace one of the ones you already have instead of just adding it. That way you can keep buying without adding to the mess you're in.

I've lost hours of sleep staying up at night looking at knives. I see one I want and I am just "focused" on it until I get it.
I have a Benchmade 710 habit.
I need to have 1 of every one ever made. So far I have 12 or 13.

ESEE knives are my newest desire and now that I have been checking out this forum I'm reading about Busse knives and they is piquing my interest.
Thing is there is no way I can afford any more high priced knives, high priced for me being anything around $100 give or take $20. So I'v ebeen looking more and more at CS because that might hold me over until I can save up for my next serious purchase (ESEE 6)

I've given up smoking, any kind of recreational drugs (weed not heroin or any of that shit) and lately I've been off the booze ( I miss my Bushmills and Jameson!!!) but I can't shake the knives I want!

Every day I'm looking at knife works's ESEE selection or on my facebook knife pages or the Benchmade forum or youtube knife reviews. Just anything to get a knife fix. What is wrong with me?

I have had a "knife" desire since I was a kid, now that I'm an adult I can indulge it, to bad I can't afford it.

Oh how I love me some Black Bush!

Talking about Bushmills of course.
 
The first step is admitting that you have an addiction. Now you have two choices. Try to quit which is no fun at all, or try to manage it. Right now I've probably got about ten knives I really want and I will eventually have them all but I will space it out over the next couple years. Give yourself a budget and keep an eye on evil bay so you can occasionally feed the monkey with a good deal. Even the times I've been burned on e bay by a bent or cracked knife it still takes care of the craving for that month and usually for less than 25 bucks.
