what would you do?

[Broad Arrow]

I want to ask about your opinions with regards to a purchasing decision. I found a knife that I want but it is priced at more than double that of Rick's table price. Should I go for it now or wait? Thanks.

Can you give us a bit more information? Is it a production or custom? New/used? Fixed blade/folder?

 

[Broad Arrow]

Broad Arrow, speaking from over 40 years of experience asking myself the same question, I have come to the following conclusions:
1) Buy it now & blow you budget sky high . . .
2) Buy something else that's "almost" like what you want, then sell it for half of what you paid for it 3 months later when you go & buy what you actually wanted in the first place.
3) Wait, save, & get what you want.
I would bet it would be even money that at least 50% of the members on this forum have a "special" place somewhere in their home for all the "almost" items they have bought over the years just like I do. . .
No one can answer your question except you. Hope this helps.
Be safe.

To be honest,
i think that you should listen to your heart.
Rick is not making any custom folders to open public only in shows and drawings.
If you see it, and you can buy it without pressure, then get it.

That's about normal for the secondhand market.

Finding a custom XM-18 is a rare thing. If you want it, buy it. I know you will kick yourself if you don't.

Buy it - you know you won't regret it / Don't buy it - you'll always kick yourself for not getting it / you want it - treat yourself and get it
