Spyderco Addiction

I just tallied up how much I've spent on Spydies since catching the bug . . . I feel woozy.

Whenever I do my annual knife audit and update my spreadsheet I almost check in to rehab.
Then I click BID or BUY and carry on LOL !!!

It bites hard! I bought my first Spydie in mid March (Manix 2 LW) then a week later a Sage 5, then 2 days ago a Chaparral and a PM2. 4 knives in less than a month was not in my plans! I was hooked after the first.

It's useful to see what you use and what you don't use. It's my belief that Spyderco knives deserve to be used, so it helps my budget to let those go to a new home if they're only warming the bench.

Moderation is key, after you get over your first 20 or so knives :D

It's not hard to stop buying a lot of Spydercos. I have done that loads of times..

I have more knives than I can use, and no plans to stop buying more. I may sell a few, but only to make room for some new ones. Addiction... hobby... lifestyle... the line blurs. :D

The flip side of addiction is overcompensating by skipping a sprint or exclusive you really didn't want to. I can tell myself that the DLT PM2's just moved too fast -- but I really have no excuse for the KW Manix 2 cruwear/cf.

That one still hurts... :(

Yes yes you have told me that same statement before Mr Sal Glessner! But you and Eric are the enablers! JK. If literally the only bad habit I have is "worrying" about what is my next knife buy then I'm setting pretty.
