Reaching a stopping point

back into the hobbit to test

It's OK to use Orcs to test your blades , but Hobbits are much too cute .

LOL
The mistake was not intended but it is actually funny

So uh.... Yall remember when I said I wasn't gonna buy anything else? Yea, about that......
Looks like I'm still incurable. GEC #82 Dixie Stockman in Elderberry is on the way! Actually really excited for this one.

It’s okay, nobody believed you. Enjoy the stockman!

You’ll be just as excited about the next one. Congrats on the new knife.

The GEC 82 is a modern classic and a very well built knife that will last your lifetime if taken care of.

Congratulations!

Never believed a single word about stopping the buying, I have slowed it down, but I WILL NOT stop. Good choice on the knife.

But hey, you stopped for a couple months.

 

[SW-EDC]

I have met most of my needs with my blades. Will I stop buying from this point forward? You know the answer to that ;-)

 

[JBoone]

I have slowed down but still seem to pick up a new knife that I don’t need about every six months or so

 

[Comeuppance]

I thought I was done when I felt I had a roster of knives that fit every practical niche I could imagine...

... But then I realized I could just start switching them out for knives that did it even better.

Don't resist, just give in.

 

[DocJD]

Especially if you're "older than dirt" ...don't never stop !

Keep on caring , being involved .

Keep moving and doing . Stopping is death .

Good luck with that saturation thing buddy. I was there more than once. One self imposed exile tangent took me into axes and hatchets.

 

[Sonnydaze]

I think you've only begun...

A phase of contentment can be great. When I feel that feeling, I use the time to actually focus on using every knife in my collection, coming up with a very elusive knife on my list as the quest to find it can take a long time and is often as exciting and fulfilling as actually having it, learning about genres of knives I’m less familiar with (hello slipjoint obsession), and culling my collection by giving rarely used knives to folks I think may appreciate them. Usually this keeps me occupied for awhile. But given I feel like knives are functional works of art and makers keep on making amazing art, I end up back on the merry go round sooner than later.
