So I don't know what got into me, but I went on a three knife spree within the last week. All within that time period I bought:

a SOG Flash II
a Benchmade Mini Barrage
and a Spyderco Dragonfly 2

Do youguys ever have sprees like this? I think it was venting from the holiday stress in a financial form (I'm sure some people do this with alcohol or other intoxicants...actually there might have been a little bit of alcohol involved in my spending). It started with wanting a decent AO EDC (Flash II) but then I was unhappy with the blade play and wanted to buy a knife that I didn't need loctite and a tool set to bring up to it's potential, so I bought the BM Mini Barrage. Then, after a couple of days, I just really felt like having an ultralight EDC that had a nice lockup and good steel quality (Dragonfly 2). Here I am three knives later and happy but confused, how did I let myself do this? I have a serviceable enough collection for this to have not been necessary but it was like I wasn't in control of my wallet. Has anyone else done this recently? First sprees of 2012?
 
I believe my first knives of 2012 are:
-Kershaw JYD II Composite Blem
-ZT 0100 Blem
-BM 915-ORG Triage

I'm not proud of the fact that I've been buying more knives than I know what to do with, or could possibly use in my lifetime.
 
I definitely have too many to organize realistically as applicable EDC options. I've officially crossed into the realm of superfluous knife purchasing.
 
For Christmas i went on a Kershaw/ZT rampage, got a bunch of their import line for gifts and a few for me. Then went on a Spyderco binge. About to do a Condor machete buying spree. It never ends:)
 
I've gone off the deep end and it hasn't even been a month into the new year.

RJ Martin "Overkill"
Spyderco "Native 5"
Spyderco "Paramilitary 2" *Orange* - On order
Les George "VECP" - At the Post Office until Monday

No at the post office until Tuesday! :( (Monday is a holiday)
 
Guilty... Since Christmas:

- 12 Kershaw Chills to take advantage of a Cabela's sale.

- 1 Ka-Bar 7" fighting/utility knife (2nd one, only this one's serrated)

- 1 Justin King "Practical Field Knife"

- 1 ESEE-5 to round out my ESEE collection--just need the Junglas and Lite Machete
 
Between some offerings on the selling forum and the discounts on a major internet vendor, I've been on a major Benchmade binge. Most of my more expensive knives had been Spydercos. But since December, I've added only the Manix XL from Spyderco, and the following Benchmades:

940
940 Limited Edition
Mini Onslaught
111H20
Adamas Limited
Bedlam
943
710
950 Rift
Bone Collector
Bone Collector Small
Kulgera

It's been an expensive couple of months.
 
Since Christmas I've been on a bit of a Spyderco bender:

Spyderco Chaparral
Spyderco Sage1
Spyderco Sage3
Spyderco Paramilitary S30V
And 2 Spyderco Paramilitary M390 sprint run
