All About Pocket Knives

It's going to be beans and rice for me next month but isn't that what charge cards are for? They delay the need to be responsible and let us feed that instant gratification demon that lives inside us.

Enough philosophy, lets talk about a knife. I don't recall what the trigger was but last night about 8:00, I fired up Google and went looking for a GEC #563211 Weaver Jack. It must have been fickle old fate showing her ugly head because there it was, the very first Google response. Oh my God. The trumpets sounded, the angels sang. Pictured there was 3½" of beautiful stag and steel. I was solidly hooked.

And the waiting begins.

Seller's pictures of course.

Oooooooooooh Lord, there you go.......

Hold on bro, it's a slippery slope, and we just greased it..........of course I'm referring to credit cards!!!

That knife is gorgeous!!

Scott, hesitation was not in my vocabulary last night. I looked this morning and buyers remorse wasn't there either. The only thing I saw was a grocery list and all that was on it was beans and rice.

Beautiful stag on that one Jerry! I love the blade grind.

Well if you're gonna do it, do it right! I think beans and rice for a month will be well worth it. Congrats on a great knife, Bud!

Thanks to one and all for your support, although some would call it enabling.

Well then if you'd rather...shame on you!! You have no self control. Starving yourself over just another pocket knife!! What were you thinking?!!!!!!!!!

Yeah........what Rob said.....just imagine if each of us was your wife....then what would we say

I don't know what you'd say but I'd say, "Damn! Why did I marry such ugly women?"

Wow Jerry, that is one gorgeous hunk of stag and steel. You, know, the situation you describe is exactly why I try not to look at Ebay after the third beer! I might not be able to control myself: and the sad thing about my love of beer and knives is that I usually do not have a lot of regrets about spending money on either!

Great buy - we need more photos when it arrives.

Man that is one schweeeeet knife - lovely stag and that big ol' blade ... Nothing like impulse buying when something looks irresistible ... Lots of different ways to make rice and beans anyway... Maybe you can afford an onion and some celery and break that bad boy in .... Congrats!!

Every time that my wife sees a package for me in the mail that just might contain a new knife, I think to myself.........

Poor JerryD....if it helps any I feel your pain but at least you have something worth while to look at while you're eating your rice and beans

that's too funny Dickens but I know the feeling

James, love the little knife gauge image.

I try to keep enough in a five gallon can in the trunk to get me to the next station but sometimes the gauge is on "get out and walk" and the reserve won't slosh when you shake the can. When I really want to go anyway, I have to break down and call Mastercard for a ride and pay the piper later.

I'm ""HAPPY FOR YA" """________________enjoy the beans !!!!!

And my good friend Monkey Man The Enabler weighs in. Thanks pal.
