Okay, I'm in the process of trimming down my collection, right? Sold a few knives on this forum already, am planning on getting rid of more. Well . . . sigh.

I made the mistake of looking on ebay. Saw a stag handled vintage Blackjack. It had just enough use to give it a little character, but looked in basically good condition.

I'm a sucker for the old Blackjacks.

Guess what?

I am very proud of myself. I have SUCCESSFULLY restrained myself from purchasing the following knives this past week:

A NIB vintage balisong with tanto blade and black micarta scales,
A CF UTX-70 that someone reground so it was being sold cheap,
A MOD Razorback,
and a really cool knife a forumite made from scrap rebar.

They would've just sat in my drawer anyway, I saved nearly $400, and now I can buy new glasses instead.

I used to look at a knife and think, "Well, if I don't like it I'll just sell it for less than I paid for it and I won't buy another knife this year" . . , "Oh, but I need to make an exception for that one, just this once."

When going through my knives to pick out some to sell, I found stuff I'd forgotten about. Part of my decision to reduce my collection. What good is a knife doing me that's been sitting in a box for years? But they I seem something that catches my eye, and for some reason I "have" to have it".

I was recently able to buy a couple of out-of-production & sprint run knives that I have been looking at for over a year and a half of not buying anything knife related.

Then I got laid off. :(

That's how it goes I guess! Back to compiling a list of 'stuff to buy' in 2011.... :D

I go through stages. I'll be real into buying knives for a few months, then I'll sorta talk a break and concentrate on another hobby or interest; then go back into a knife buying binge. I won't buy one for three of four months, then go on a buying binge. Depending, of course, on the availibilty of spare cash. I'm in business for myself, and sometimes it's chicken, sometimes it's feathers.
 
City of Frederick - downtown - N. Market Street - Edgeworks - been there for years.

http://www.edgeworksonline.com/

Whenever I'm in Frederick I stop by.

I get absolutely nothing from this at all. I am a frequent customer because I try to support one of the few stores in the area that feed my hobby. The guy is just trying to stay afloat, and I try to help when I can.

I totally decided not to buy a new knife - good news.:D

I bought the Surefire Pen II - bad news.:(
 
Hey knifeaholic or knife whore, somebody has to live to tell the story, the one with the knife lives and gets to tell the story anyway they want to.
