So I have a BK9 sitting in my shopping Cart on the website named after a large South American river. Great price, great knife, I have the money... I need this knife. But I promised my wife I wouldn't buy another knife until I completed a prior commitment (I know man up and grow a pair). Somebody talk me down before I have to once again try to explain my knife obsession to someone who doesn't/can't/won't understand.

You're my only hope.
 
By "man up" do you mean fulfill your prior obligations? That's what a man does. You gave your word, stick to it. Your wife and your relationship is more important than a dumb knife.
 
You already committed to something else. The bk9 can wait. It's not like it's rare and won't be there the next time you get some extra cash.

Agreed, plus after you buy this one do you truly think that'll be the only one you'll want for a while? There's always another "must have" to add to the list....that knife isn't going anywhere. Keep your word and buy it later on and that way you won't have to make any excuses nor apologies.
 
Grow a pair could have gone either way.

Been lurking for a while. I'm not surprised by the wisdom shown in the replies so far. Must be married too.
 
You can always find it for sale here for cheaper if you look long enough lol. No need to buy it from the river store now.
 
Do ya really need another knife or will getting divorced and probably losing half of everything you own and possibly more be worth it?

My mom's boyfriend said it best, (wow, I don't think I've ever quoted him, it's usually my Old Man I quote) "...everything material is replaceable you might have to wait but it's replaceable."

He's right, so if ya gotta wait, wait, as far as growing a pair, be honest you've already decided what you wanna do you're just looking for acceptance and validation from strangers, people who know absolutely nothing about you, that shows a lack of something.

I didn't even look, did you post a introduction thread so we knew a little more about you before we decided the future of relationships?

I'm gonna tell ya what ya wanna hear 'cause I don't know you and i figure you're not too serious.

Good luck in your future endeavors.
 
Get the knife you pussy! She will respect you more for telling her "how it's gonna be from now on". Trust me it will work.

You knew the right path. You just needed a nudge. ;)

My wife is the best thing that ever happened to me. :D

Lighten up Francis. Just bringing a little levity to the place. If a knife results in a divorce you/I have bigger problems to deal with.
 
IMO our relationships are more important than our possessions. Then again our possessions add definition to who we are.

Rule of thumb: don't make promises regarding your knives. If the commitment you mentioned involved $$$ however, that's a whole dif deal.

She left me because I forgot to hang up a wet towel. So men please don't leave your wet towels on the floor.

P.S. this should be in the Becker sub.

I've been teaching my son not to leave wet towels around. I could be saving his future marriage! He's 5 now...
 
You wanna be talked down? Fine then, I'll talk you down.

If you get that BK9 now, the wife is gonna use it to fillet you for cheating on her like you're tempted to right now.
 
I'd be hanging out with the Busse Crew or Hinderer crew tonight if I hadn't fulfilled my obligations last weekend. I'll just hang with you all instead.
 
Just asked as question, is only fair, if your looking for levity there's another subforum here for joking and looking fun, but when you ask the same question that's been asked a thousand times before it gets old, not funny.

General was the place to start when coming to BFC and there are some good threads here, this just ain't one and the u names not Francis, it's Ted.

You asked an opinion and you got one, no name calling needed, again if you're looking for levity there's a better place just look around a little, you'll find it.

I leave you to your silly thread and wish you more luck in the future, work on your people skills and you'll get father in life.

If you need the last word, get it in and take your time as I won't be reading it. I'm putting the first person I've ever put on ignore so congrats in achieving something no one else has in over 12+ years here and nearly 15,000 posts.
