All About Pocket Knives

OK... it is January 13th, did anyone make a New Year's resolution NOT to buy anymore knives? ... I mean, at some point, enough is enough, right? ... At some point the madness has to stop, correct?

So, the question is: Are you sticking to your New Year's resolution? ... Can you kick the habit? ... Do you finally realize that you already have "TOO-MANY-KNIVES"

Yep. I'm gonna do it dude. Not gonna buy anymore knives.

By the way, looking to get rid of any of those?

I'm not gonna buy any less knives either!

Never going to make that resolution. A knife is on the way
from southern IL. Buying a few knives each year makes me
feel good.

Counting some lot buys, I think I'm at about ten this month.



I will say this--I didn't buy Hot Wheels or Matchbox cars this time. Instead of Walmart, I went to my pharmacy to buy some saline nose spray. The knife store started out inside that pharmacy's (originally separate) gift shop before getting its own location next door. Thus, I went there first. And yes, I did buy a knife.

Def not a resolution for me as I sell 99% of what I buy.
Good luck though!!!

Lots of cork screws in that pile, maybe the person gave up wine?

I have no resolutions or reservations about buying more knives this year.
Scott, selling 99% is a good percentage ... Think I will set that as an attainable goal.

I'll have to admit I've slowed down some, haven't bought one this year although I did check some out at TSC yestiddy. Nothing there floated my boat.

I don't think I can kick the knife habit, even though my wife wishes I would. My goal is to decrease the number of knives I purchase, maybe to only one per month this year.

Just a few more. I’m gonna quit day after tomorrow.

I used to have a friend... I'll call her "Jane" ... That is close to what she always said: "I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."
"I'm gonna kick tomorrow..."...

Actually, when you crunch the bones/numbers, it is doable. Just means that I will have to buy more knives this year to only keep 1% of them!

hmmm.... .... somehow that makes sense to me.... ... and THAT is NOT a good thing... .....

I gave up trying to even slow down on buying knives. Though like most, my target knives vary from time to time. But I am always only after traditional of course.

I’m still holding tough. Still gonna quit day after tomorrow.

I try and stop buying .... so, I stay out of pawn shops, the local knife shop, the flea market... and then a buddy calls me "Hey you want that Queen fixed blade I showed you 5 years ago and you were drooling over it?" ..... ......
