The knife abstinence thread

[Uncle Danny]

I think that’s fair game.

@Uncle Danny - I think I’ve been clean about a month, maybe headed into month 2.

Does it count if I did a one in one out? Or at least sell enough knives to make sure the book is balanced or in the black?

In my book, one in one out count as a purchase. It’s an abstinence lifestyle but I won’t judge you - sounds like your on a clear path

Well my mono carbon Suji came in yesterday. First Sugi in almost 20 years.
Yanagiba's became my prized knives at work cutting sashimi & sushi topping.
Sugi's had much less steel than gyuto & wore down faster with many sharpenings. Not a problem as home cook. 20% off 83.00 very sharp out of the box. Had a sticker on handle had to use De Solve It to get the glue off pakkawood handle. This blade will get used.

Hello. My name is ermghoti. It has been 76 days since my last knife purchase.

 

[yoyoma]

I've decided to give up knife buying entirely...































... because I've decided to learn how to make my own so I can have an unlimited supply of affordable knives

 

[fortheloveofmoar]

I’m back to 0 days…..

 

[labor of love]

I didn’t spend more than I sold. That’s a dub

 

[DoYoon Kim]

Its only been about 2 weeks??? it feels much longer... so many drops recently Trying to focus on actually using the **** I got.

 

[fortheloveofmoar]

Ah if we are playing keeping the money even then I’m still on the train!!

[SharpestToolintheShed]

Do we have to count non kitchen knives as part of the abstinence program?

Guilt for exactly that was the only reason I didn't let it play out longer

I frontloaded my abstinence by going decades with only using a victorinox
