This is a great site. I know I`ll learn much from you all. By the way, this forum has exactly the same format as the unofficial BMW site; I guess bladeforums.com bought the software from the same guys 
.
I am a recent knife collector (it feel very weird to call myself a collector) and to whoever is interested to understand where an edge-obsession-trauma comes from, here goes my story:
When I was about 15 (now I`m 41), I saw a kinfe with the most beautiful edge I`d ever seen. It wasn`t a "pretty" kinfe but a grotesque Rambo-like one, and the cost was beyond what I thought a nice knife should go for.
I couldn`t stop thinking (dreaming) about it, so in order to stop this nonsense obsession, I bought it.
About 2 years after that, a friend got very sick (big C), and I made the promise to the heavens that if he got well I would give my most beloved material posession away. He got well (he`s still alive); I gave my beloved knife away.
Now, more than 20 years latter (and probably because Heaven feels I have served my time), the recurrence of that image has puped-up again, and with the illussion of now being able to find just about anything on the Net, I started surfing the cyberspace looking for it.
It has been discontinued, but on the way I found other beautiful knives and have already bought 15 of them; I guess I can now call myself a collector?
The name of the dammneed thing that caused all this problem?
