Oh I have had a few in the past with such threads and new ones.
Here are some of my favorites:
* When you have ordered a custom knife while intoxicated -- and it takes a call from a maker a few days later to jog the memory. Though this might just be a drinking problem instead.
* When you buy your wife jewelry before a new knife purchase just to soften the blow a bit.
* Worse yet, you go shoe shopping with your wife to make up for a knife purchase she just realized and is unhappy with.
* When people ask about the cost of a knife, you pretend the down payment is the 'real cost' just so it doesn't sound insane.
* When you buy knives simply because you want to give them away. Though this is the best part of being a knife knut really.
* When you truly come to terms that that Marko knife you think is just around the corner may not actually get to you for many years.
* You buy pretty blocks of wood, just because it has something to do with knives.
* You think about which knife you would take in a house fire or tornado scenario.
Ok, I have to cook some dinner now, but those are a few of mine.
