Alterwisser - I'm very happy for you! Based on my quick calc's here's what you may look forward to (Caveat/Disclaimer: I am not a knife maker/seller/expert so you should consult your personal one for a better assessment!);
Time/Date | Annual Purchases | Total (Projected) | Current (Acutual) | Notes: |
Initial (T=o) | 3 | | | Incubation Period |
2013 | 1 | 4 | 4 | |
2014 | 2 | 6 | 6 | |
2015 | 4 | 10 | 12 | *Join Date (aka Onset) |
2016 | 8 | 18 | 24 | |
2017 | 64 | 82 | 63* | *Partial year |
2018 | 512 | 594 | | |
By the end of next year (2018) you should have 594 knives from your current value of 63. Of course I haven't taken into consideration your making your own knives which is definitely a sign that the disease is really starting to take hold so you may have a 30 ton forge in the near future as well. In fact - if you are starting a "custom list" I wouldn't mind getting on that now ....
Also you might need a bigger kitchen!
