Recently Acquired Disease (Newbie)

[Col Defender]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, 10 days or so, and already I have a serious problem.. I read these threads about most favorite knife for this or that, best buy for the money etc etc and ponder all the various recommendations you guys make. The trouble starts then..someone will say "knife X is the perfect knife for what you are asking about - I just love mine" or words to that effect.

First symptom I show is "wow - I don't have one of those!"
Second symptom - find it on Google and see who sells them
Third symptom - order "perfect knife"

Is this common? is there a cure?

Thanks

Steve

PS: this may not belong here but this morning I signed up and paid to become a "Gold Member" and instantly all the advertisements disappeared but I am still shown as a "Registered User". Is there some further action I need to take?

Hi, Steve.

Welcome to Bladeforums. There is no cure. You can try withdrawing from it for a while... but you'll get cravings. The only treatment most of us agree on... is acquiring more pieces.

Also, I believe you may need to "Change Usergroup" here:

Stay sharp.

Knives are better for you than cocaine, but not much cheaper.

It sounds like you've caught or acquired Blade Deficiency Disorder, no cure I'm afraid, only regular purchase of knives seems to keep the problem at bay.

Thanks everyone - I was afraid of all this. BDD huh? I can't afford this indefinitely......

Not really...buying more makes it worse, soon your telling yourself "All I need is one more, then I'll quit" or "Im not addicted!!! I can quit anytime I want to"!!!:grumpy:, lying to friends and family, stealing your mothers jewelry, peddlin' yourself on the street corner for that new BM Onslaught. Next thing you know you've lost your job, your home, your family. But the Endura 4 has so many colors you had to have them all...you dont have a problem, its everyone else there all against you, they're just jealous...
