What have you done to me Bladeforum....Picture Heavy!

[blade4sell]

So last Oct 2012, I got my first SAK...help my relative moving, there was this given to me. This was my first EDC (even though picture was dated later on)

So then I started to buy some cheap knives off Flea-bay...like for few bucks a piece & ended up with more than 10. Then I started searching and found you guys Blade forum. After some learning my first few purchase was KERSHAW these:

The BF intro me to AXIS - BM: So my first purchase of BM was this:

Lurking around the automatic section got me this:

But my area is illegal to carry auto, so I when back to BM these:

So after playing with the Butterfly, BF intro me to a eight legs SPYDER....so my first Spyder was this:

Hated it but BF taught me how to pinch rather than pull, so eventually I got these...:

So after a few month with BLADE FORUM i end up with these:

excluding my KERSHAWS....

So one day I was lurking the EDC area & a member intro me to Custom Scales...so Yesterday I got this!

Then I just sent out my SUPERLEAF to RYAN of RV customs...

MAN....what have you done to me BF?

That's nothing - where are the Hinderers, Striders, Chris Reeves, and customs?

It starts with production knives and moves north from there.

I would give my eye teeth to go back to the days of my collecting where a new Spydie or Benchmade scratched the itch.

Now it's mid tech or higher - and the game gets expensive to play.

You are doing alright.

 

[9blades]

It's a vicious cycle........

 

[WyoRidgeRunner]

Love the scales on that para, looks like it would shred your pockets with enough pulls.

Wait until you are down to eating Ramon noodles 7 days a week, walking to work because you can't buy gas and the wife left because there is no money for her anymore...

Then you are getting close... LOL

Toyz--you stole the words from my mouth and the feelings from my heart and placed them squarely in this sentence.

 

[Raining]

Oh, there are FIXED blade knives, too.

 

[-NB-]

Oh, there are FIXED blade knives, too.

When I first started collecting only months ago I wasn't into fixed blades at all... I have a bushcrafter and a custom in the mail.

 

[TacOpsEDC]

Boy did Toyz hit the nail on the head lol.

That's exactly how it starts, but I love every second of it!!

I started out many years ago with SAKS and then some cheaper knives.

And I'll still buy Production knives, but most if my purchases are higher end knives(CRK, Les George, Kirby Lambert, Les Voorhies, Alan Harvey, Southpaw, Etc).

Trust me once you start looking to cut back on many things just so you can purchase a new knife you want, that's only the beginning lol.

But I LOVE my knives!!!

 

[Smokinape]

Nice pics son!

 

[Luis G.]

You are not doing terribly bad.
My last sub $200 knife was the Enlan EL-02B which I gave away and didn't plan on keeping. Mostly as a curiosity toy.

The Sebenza and some customs have been the reason why I end up shelling a lot of money for knives.

Next up a William Henry but for now I am taking a break as I catch up with priorities.

 

[hank_rearden]

attention knife dealers and online traders: get this man's name and likeness. do not sell him knives, or anything else, with lanyard holes.

estate4life, nice little collection you've got going on there. Now you've got to branch out into flashlights, guns, fast cars and faster bikes.
I think those Grimsmo scales are beautiful.

 

[jstn]

Great start to your collection! Besides the two Grips, what are the other three Benchmades?
