Why Do You Buy New Knives?

I buy new knives, because I LOVE custom knives and when I see a certain knife, I HAVE to have it.
 
I buy new knives because I simply have no self control.
Neither do I, So buy I must, just one more.

its whats referred to as mental illness. many try to resolve issues with unnecessary crap; not unlike we do here.
I have known it was an addiction for a long time.

this is the correct answer.
Both of the above are correct.
I am sick, have a HUGE mental problem when it comes to knives.

I only need one knife. But it has to be the right knife.

How do I know I have the right knife until I've tried the other ones?:D
 
That is what my wife asks me every time I get a package in the mail.
Actually consider myself a collector as I had enough user knives for my limited uses a long time ago.
 
Knife Knut .... buy many knives .... smile much .... die .... leave collection to undeserving relatives :(
 
Don't worry about it. Some accumulate pottery, others books, yet others antiques. It's a wholesome pastime. Just because they serve the common purpose of cutting things doesn't mean a blade fancier should limit their number of knives. Buy within a comfortable price range and enjoy.

The neat thing is if one buys quality, online resale allows the expense to be reclaimed like money in the bank. It's an advantage that has come about only in recent years. We are quite fortunate in that regard. :)Regards, ss.
 
I always buy them with the intention of using them as EDC. I always think that its going to be better than the one I'm currently carrying but usually the new knife ends up just being stored away and I continue to use either my Sebenza or Waved Endura.

Kind of a waste really...I have close to a hundred next to new quality folders that dont even see the light of day.
 
I don't know why I keep buying knives. I was going to ask my psychologist friend, but every time he comes over, he has a new knife.
 
It's all part of my research... Yeah, the wife didn't buy that one either. I have gotten to be more discerning in my selections though...
 
I simple love knives,I tried to explain the knife buying to my wife , you like to buy shoes/pursues/jewelry...I like knives the same way.....she may gripe at times but every time a special occassion comes by she picked me up a knife(Quality blades might I add)....I am simple like that ! last blade she snagged for me was a NIB Scrapyard Dog father CG.....
