I did it; I ordered my first handmade/custom knife yesterday.

After reading the latest issue of Tactical Knives, I knew that I had to have a Tom Krein blade. After speaking with Tom, I decided to order a D2 TK8 with G10 and a sharpened swedge. I was looking for a nice defensive blade for EDC, and the TK8 looked ideal.

The only bad part is the wait...about 4 months. This is the most that I have ever spent for a single blade, and I have high hopes for it. I can't wait to finially get it and test it out.

I can already feel the custom bug starting to hit me hard...looks like I have an even more expensive knife addiction now. I was just looking at some of Tom's other offerings, and found 3 more that I "need"....

I could be doing worse things with my money... :)
