Curfew here is 12:30. I wanted to a concert alone, but it was too late, but i got my brother to take me :D What are the exclusions for you?

The only exclusions we have are no driving past 10 P.M. and before 5 A.M. unless It's to a place of work or school related. We also can't have more than one non-sibling in the car.

I'm the oldest out of four kids, so nobody's taking me to any concert.

You're lucky, i cant drive anyone under the age of 18 until ive had it for 6 months. Which will be late April :(

Also, did you have to have a permit for six months and take drivers ed before getting your license?
 
Hey guys, what are some ways you guys make money to fund for knife addiction? I am 13 and I am finding it difficult to make any money my parents pay me 7 bucks a week but that does not go very far. I notice that allot of you guys have zt's, benchies and even crks how do you get enough money for those things? So far my only other way of making money is clearing driveways when it snows but i have not figured out what i will do come summer. :(
 
I'm 16 as well. I've got a katana, kabar, becker bk-15 (all soon to be gone) benchmade triage, spyderco resilience, buck vantage pro, kershaw turbulence, spyderco centofante III, Kershaw Machete I forgot the name of, a Kevin John Sebenza (eccch) and soon enough, a Josh Mason one-off custom.

I've done knife sharpening before, myself. I'm good at it, though. You'll want some experience first. Also, visit a pick n pull junkyard and resell some parts on the bay.
 
I am pretty good at sharpening the best I can do is almost mirror bevel and hair shaving sharp how do I go about making money doing it?

Petsitting! @ $20/hour, the dollars add up fast. I have a long-term job with a neighbor for $10/week, so that adds up. I get $8 allowance, so that's $18/week+other petsitting jobs.

I'd suggest going door to door asking, putting up flyers, asking family friends, the like.

I save whatever money I can get, buy and sell on the Exchange and, most importantly, take whatever job offers I can get. :)

Careful, that's suspiciously low. If it's genuine that's a true one in a lifetime deal.

I had to pass Segment 1, Segment 2, complete 50 hours of day driving and 10 at night and hold my permit for 6 months, which I got after completing Segment 1.

I was able to do corn detasseling last Summer for a month and that paid for my Wicked Edge PPI and a ZT 0801 plus some left over afterwards. Everything else is saving up my birthday and Christmas money. My birthday and Christmas are only a month and a week apart, so that's not very hard for me to do. If I don't have any money, I sell some knives to help pay for what I want. I sold a bunch of stuff to help fund for a 0562CF. Now that I'm 16 and have a license, I'm old enough to get a part-time job. I already have résumés made. I'm waiting for the weather to get a little better to drive around and fill out any applications and hand out résumés.
 
Practicing my photography and Photoshop skills tonight! The background of ice forming on the Hudson Bay was taken by me on a recent trip to Churchill; you all know about the knife.

 
My school called a 2-hour delay and ended up canceling about 20 minutes ago.

That gives me time to sharpen my 0551 and possibly clean out my vehicle.
