Whats your most expensive hobby?

[stevenStefano]

Brazilian Jiu-Jistu and food are my main hobbies I guess. Haven't bought a knife in a long while since I stopped being a Chef. I've also got a large collection of ties which keeps growing

Stopped a few months ago, got an office job working for a large energy company. I was a Chef for 11 years and never planned on doing it at all, started off washing dishes part-time at University. Took about a 30% pay cut for the new job but I'm so much happier now, I have a lot more free time and I'm a lot less stressed out. It feels like I can have a job and a life now, whereas before they were the same thing

Baccarat, Steuben, Waterford: decanters, glasses, vases, etc.

Dream Burls, I'm not a collector but looking for a really nice and timeless decanter set. I drink 99% tequila and usually use Riedel tequila flutes for sipping, and when drinking something iced, or just don't feel like holding a fragile glass, would like a set of glasses to match the decanter (which I'd keep my daily go-to reposado in).

Recommendations on what brands and where to shop for something cool and vintage (or new and vintage inspired) would be appreciated.

Are you concerned about leaded decanters? I am. I only use mine for show. So if you want a lead free decanter take a look at Ravenscroft crystal. They have a lot of decanters and decanter sets that are very contemporary. Go to eBay and check them out.

Yeah, they sure are lol. In fact, my absence has been related to that:



Recent guitar acquisitions, Eric Johnson signature strat, R8 and a mid 80s MIJ strat

Watches have overtaken my track hobby the last month or so. Thankfully track car is still sidelined for clutch replacement so I have not been spending the normal $ for track events this year. But I pretty much blew the annual track budget on 3 watches. Only have one in-hand so far, so pics will have to wait.

because catching your own fish is cheaper than buying in stores.

Just saw this thread again and it came to mind how over the past year I have spent more money on shoes than I have knives and kitchenware combined.

When I was in Paris I lived within walking distance of J.M. Weston, John Lobb, and Edward Green. Bad times for the wallet.

This is the exact reason I have avoided this thread! Ugh. I need more restraint.

Cut off my feet?

Buy more Knives

 

[Nemo]

Yeah, I was thinking option number 2 is a bit less exteme. And much more fun. 😆

 

[Marek07]

You need Option 2 to achieve Option 1 but suggest you don't go there at all.

Hmm, most expensive hobby. Built this for myself:
