My plan is to buy only a couple in the 2-3k range then I will stop. I just want to have some nice ones to crown my low budget collection which I am otherwise happy with. Not gonna buy a Rolex, not even Omegas, just some fun microbrands, where the value is.

Its easier said than done!

Over the past year and a half I've downsized to two core watches. and I haven't been happier. But much the same as knife collecting - it doesn't stop.

Biggest piece of advice, stay away from "micro" brands if you want to ever be able to recoup any kind of money. Sinn is a great place to start if you want a great tool watch for not a whole lot of money.

Have you seen the new Rolex Oyster Perpetual with the MagnaCut stainless band?

Maybe microbrands was wrong , but so far I like Formex, Mühle Glashütte, Christopher Ward, anOrdain, Junghans and yeah, Sinn. It is the hunt.

A convex grind and I am raiding the piggy bank.

I've purchased 39 (new to me) knives (so far) this year. Only sold 1 of them (a Spyderco SmallFly2).

So, I'm at currently at 38 (net) for the year: 3 Autos, 2 Balis, 11 Fixed & 22 Folders, which included 4 ZTs (all discontinued), 2 Olamics, 1 MT, 2 Tighes, 1 Wilson, 1 Emerson, 1 Fox, 1 Cardman, 6 vintage Kershaws & 19 (including 8 vintage) Spydercos.

The entire collection now totals: 338 knives (27 Autos, 16 Balis, 49 Fixed and 246 Folders), including 148 Spydercos, 59 vintage Kershaws and 38 ZTs which totals almost 3/4 of the collection.

It's been a pretty light knife year for me.

CPK Dek1- fixed blade perfection?
GEC H20 fixed blade, awesome little knife. Stays in my bag as my food knife.
BM 940- 3rd time around with this one. Apparently I should stop letting it go, keep coming back to it.
GEC BF Spring Street Barlow- What can I say, this thing is amazing.
GEC K33(3 of them)- finished up my set of 4 steak knives

I've really been considering down sizing my collection, just haven't gotten around to it. Nothing else has really caught my attention.

That's it so far.

As we draw nearer to the end of the year, it’s time to update your purchases.

 

[Quiet]

Many, many knives. Primarily Swiss Army Knives, GEC knives, and Spartan Knives. Not many other manufacturers have had my eye this year.

 

[DavidABQ]

I have actually only bought one knife this year! Since buying my CRK Mnandi last December I have not really seen anything that really makes me want to open my wallet.
So far I have only bought one of the Bladeforums Traditional Forum Knife this year. I know, I am a slacker.

The #7-9-10 in INOX.

And then there is my beloved PS2, been my number one since early february.

Updated:

Civivi Exarch Twill CF/Damascus
Viper Novis I believe Olivewood
Spyderco Southard w/ Red shredded CF scale

And I decided today to keep the Civivi Riffle Sandal Wood dark damascus I bought. Oil solved most of my issues with it.
