What is your monthly or yearly knife budget?

My girlfriend agreed to ONLY $100 per month but with a rollover effect. So, if I buy a knife for $80 in June, I will get to buy a $120 knife in July.
 
I don't have a monthly or even a yearly budget, but I won't spend much over $100 on any one knife.

For the several knives I do have on my radar to buy that are readily available, I try to space them out and hold off as long as I can before caving in, because I know as soon as I get them, I'll find a reason to get more. :rolleyes:

This strategy helps me use and appreciate the knives I already own. And by resisting my impulses, I've also avoided getting something that I later would've regretted.
 
Up until recently, I was saving $100 a month, dipping into the pot whenever something caught my eye. But the car-bug bit me again, and the knife fund has become the parts fund.

So she's already telling you how to spend the money and you're not even married yet? :eek: On the positive side, she's ok with knives. :thumbup:

I used to budget myself, but then I noticed that there was always something I wanted that was just out of my range. Now I just sell off knives I have to fund new ones.
 
about 300$ month. this month however around 2500$ (build up my inventory) but i usually tire of my knives quick and resell them. so there is a bit of money recycling going on.
 
Knife budget? Just glad you didn't bring up guns and ammo expenses.

Need some spare cash? Trade crude futures for a day, bag $20k, and spend all you want

At the moment I am unemployed and applying for the sheriffs office. She loves knives almost as much as I do. So yeah, She buys my....cough...OUR knives for the moment. She fears the day my pockets are full because back when I had a job, it was a new knife whenever I wanted and it soon will be again.
 
I usually just buy whatever I've been eyeballing for a while.

Last year, I had a few impulse buys such as my Busse Fatty Ash-1 from blade show and a Swamp Rat Rodent Waki.

I'm really not interested in folders as my two Sebenzas has really kept me happy. I purchased a small plain sebenza 21 last summer. It has kept me happy until yesterday. Yesterday I purchased a small CRK Insingo Sebenza.

I think I will be good until next year! ;) (We will see how long that lasts....)
 
No budget per se. When I see something I really want I will save up for it. It depends on how much how much OT I work and I might treat myself.
 
Whatever I can set aside - usually, I'll repurpose my beer money, sell a knife or two that I don't use, take take an extra shift at work, whatever. I don't buy my knives according to a schedule or anything, so I don't set aside a specific amount for them in my budget - if I find one I really want, then I'll start putting money aside for it.
 
$0. I'm a broke student as well.

If I'm able to get a job this summer, it might change, but I desperately need to save money for a car.
 
No budget just find a way to get what ever I really want. I am not a collector. I do stack up about 3-4k worth of toys per year and knives are usually about 600-800 of that, the rest is fishing rods, reels and guns.
 
I spent about $550 on knives since the beginning of the year. Then May came along and sucked out an additional $750 from my bank account. I'm probably going to cool it for awhile now, unless something really cool catches my eye that is. ;)
