How many of you feel you will be a Operation 2 Weeks survivor??!! That being you make it to the end of O2W having snagged every blade you "just had to have" an never cried mercy financially an had to tap out....
 
So far i have snagged everything i want and haven't tapped out.........................................yet.

Got a feeling Part 2 is gonna be the end of me :eek:
 
Oh, I won't snag them all. Too close to a final retirement for that.

But I am sort of ... tuning up the collection. For my heirs.
 
BB13. X4. I got everything I want so far. Part deux will be the test however, as the suggestion box thread Jerry posted up is chalk FULL O' bank account credit card dingin' possibilities.......
 
I'll get all the ones I want!!! I'll just beg for an increased spending limit!!![emoji16]
 
I can't honestly answer this, since I haven't paid for all the ones I "bought", yet. LOL I might already be dead and not realize it...
 
I'm pretty well there. I've already ordered so many great blades, classics and new designs. Still hoping for a FBM. And I'm sure there will be a couple new ones that I can't resist. Everytime I think I'm done, the Bunker Buster pops in my head. Anything I like half as well will be hard to turn down.
 
I said I was probably done after the Double Talon. Hehe, "surely we're nearing the finale..." seems so long ago now.

Then there was the Parang, and I was really done. Between multiple orders and hitting the exchange, I'd be all set for a while.

Next, I "had to have" the BGBJ, and I was really REALLY done, (unless of course Jerry pulled an FBM out of nowhere :eek:)

I was content for a while, window shopping each week, but just waiting for some of my orders to come in and letting my wallet convalesce. The WTF and HUCK were toughest for me, but I managed to let them roll by.

Then the 2GBME came along. I hemmed and hawed, but had to have it. HAD TO. So that was it, I was tapped out, closing up shop until either selling a bunch of blades (something I am loathe to do) or taking a substantial break. TKO.

Then of course THE NEXT WEEK I drug myself off the mat again anyway and said there's no way I can't get one of each on the BB13. :thumbup:

So there you have it, I'm not gonna say I'm done anymore.
 
I got into the Busse fever just prior to all of this. I have put LOTS of blades on order and have even more to arrive. I got to admit this has been something else. I have not experienced knife buying like this.....ever. Never seen a company where I actually want the product bad enough either. So Jerry has really made himself an empire of INFI. People literally waiting in anticipation to see whats next, now thats business. Keep em coming Bossman. The smell of INFI drives us into a frenzy worse than blood in the ocean does to sharks.
 
I was done after the grab bags but I couldn't resist the BB13 in both flavors. I just suspect I might see things I'm missing out on in one of the bags so that thought is keeping me content.
 
I'll be good on what I already committed to barring any sudden dings, but after the BB13 I will be much slower to get anything else on a whim. Long gladius CG is one I couldn't pass up.
 
I've got two on order; a kind of inbetween-length blade (2GBM-e) and a dedicated chopper (BB13GC) to compliment my two EDCs (AMS and modified AD) so that should be good for me. Plus, that's really all my budget will allow for, so I hope nothing eye catching will come along during part 2 or I may end up on the receiving end of some divorce paperwork...
 
So far I've been able to order what I want. I dread the orders I made in Feb. coming home to roost.

What hurts is when I find one I like, but either missed it or only bought one. Then I take a hit to pay for it on the secondary market. Even though the "market is soft," I don't want to be a di**. I think it is fair for someone who has bought a blade and then decided they don't want to keep it to recoup the money they have in it. So that automatically means double shipping, plus PP fees. That's just money wasted on third parties that add up.

So that drives me to lean to the other side of the equation, and order if I think I MIGHT want it. Which, in the soft market, probably means I'll lose money on the other side.

I'm going to have to find more discipline if I'm going to survive.
 
I have ordered everything I have wanted and even some I only kinda wanted. I am in this for the long haul, its a good thing my wife supports my addiction.
 
I'm waiting for that awesome market drop once all the O2W and mystery boxes arrive.

Hopefully certain re-sellers will drop the outrageous prices or die in the process....
 
I survived and my pocket only got hit for one blade. the ASH2. I could've bought more and maybe I'll regret not buying them in the future but right now I'm good and have the funds for round II. Good luck to all in the next round.
 
Got too many in the back up right now. Had to really think about what I really wanted and what I could do without.. No reason to go to blade, I'm broke and got blades coming for probably the next 8 months
 
So far i been only worried about CS WTF, all the other once few hundred here and there are fine, now that i put away $$$ for WTF, as long as dings soread out little, i should be fine. Unless every offering will be Satin or Comp finish....than im screwed lol
