Knife dreaming/buying

#1

Post by unit »

Someone on one of these forums offered some advice once (sorry, I forget who). The advice was, if you wake up dreaming of a knife, buy it. Pretty simple really...I am always on the fence about an new knife for the collection, but this advice really works...if I wake up dreaming about a knife, not only do I have a problem, but I ought to simply buy it and quit dreaming.

Only one problem...last night I woke up dreaming about a Spyderco that does not exist (actually, in the dream I was at SFO buying two of them). In the dream this model was available, but not so much in reality.

An Auto, FFG, CPM-M4 Delica. Not sure why it was Automatic...I really do not like autos that much...but a FFG M4 Delica?...Oh baby!

I realize that this would probably make a ridiculous price point for a FRN knife, and this one will have to remain a dream...but my birthday is next month...so Sal, if you are struggling with the decision of what to get me... :D

Just kidding of course. Have a great day all, just wanted to share my problems LOL.

(yes, I do consider dreaming about purchasing knives a "problem")
Thanks,

If I buy all the knives I dream about I'd go bankrupt way sooner than at the present rate.

How much of a difference is there between the ZDP Delica and an M4 Delica?

The Native is the only lock back that Golden makes, isn't it? Maybe for the next forum knife we could ask for a M4 version of the new G-10 Native. Really, that sounds like a great knife!

My sentiments exactly.....although, I am a few short months away from paying off my truck which will give me plenty of spending money to rebuild my :spyder: collection. :D
