What have you acquired this year so far? (2010)
How do you guys do it? Are you very wealthy and have that much excess spending money? Or do you charge everything on a credit card? I dont get it. Before I was unemployed I had a great job making good money but still couldnt afford to buy that many knives in a month. So if you wouldn't mind sharing I would love to know how you mananage that kind of spending in just a month. Thanks

I don't know about the rest of of the forum, but I ran into too many End of the Year deals to pass up and yes, my credit card took quite a beating. It's going to be a few months for my play money to recover. :p I don't do this every month.Tank wrote:How do you guys do it? Are you very wealthy and have that much excess spending money?

For me, it's a different form of entertainment money. With a new baby, my wife and I don't go out like we used to, whether together or with other friends. I don't have any other vices (nor the time to experience any), and with a just a few exceptions, the Spydies I buy usually cost less than $75. Heck, the monthly gas bill for my car is way more that my Spydie bill!Tank wrote:How do you guys do it? Are you very wealthy and have that much excess spending money?

Before I met my wife, my toys had three zeros (watches), they went down to two zeros (SIGs) after I met her, and are down to one zero (Spydies) with the baby.
The sad fact of the matter is that the only personal entertainment I get now-a-days has to with finding, buying, carrying and using Spydies, and telling you guys all about it. :)
Regards,
Ira
PS Note that I always pay for the credit cards in full. If I couldn't, I wouldn't be buying anything.

I've done exactly as my wife 'suggested' and have not bought a single knife so far this year. I'm anxiously waiting for the new folding Szabo but I guess that could take a while. I may buy the Police 3 in the near future. I find the 43/8 " blade very attractive.
My local knife store just had a small sprint run of the BM AFCK for $225.00 which sold out in minutes. The same store has the Police 3, which looks similiar to the BM, in stock for about $150.00. Is the AFCK $75.00 better than the Police? Me thinks not, if only for the fact that it is almost a 1/2" longer. Buyers probably were willing to pay the extra cost because the BM model is discontinued.
In any case it made me appreciate the Police 3 even more.
