How do you decide to buy a knife for your collection?

We all make decisions differently. It is funny how our minds can trick us into deciding on something we really want, isn't it.

This is a true story where I tricked myself into buying the knife I really wanted but only after trying to buy a group of knives I didn't even collect.

Haha, great story and great way to tell it. Usually, when I decide to buy a knife, it's about half and half. I'm very budget and cost conscious, but at the same time, if something catches my eyes and I start building interest on it, there is no turning back and I usually end up paying more than the market price out of fear and desperation that it will be snatched up by someone else. So yes, I can fully relate to your story and I'm sure many folks out there has had similar experience.

Yeah, it really is funny how we make our decisions to buy the knives we want, isn't it?...

Glad you like it. As you could tell, I was out of town and got bored, so thought I would tell y'all this story.

I swing between the two extremes as you can tell, but my subconscious usually wins out, like it did here.

Glad you liked my light humor here.

You look alot like bill engvold in this video lol.

I look for:

walk and talk

spring tension (preferably a 5-7 pull)

fitt and finish (i dont like having gaps everywhere)

I want it to have carbon steal

then price

Unfortunately these knives I cant find in my country and I must to order them from one man who have a contacts in USA. And if I choose the knife I want to in my colection, in my pocket I must wait a 2 - 3 weeks :( And my patience is too small! And I call to this man and say WHERE IS MY KNIFE!!! :D I cant wait!!!! :D

lol, well it took me 10 years of reading about the chris reeve sebenza folder before I dropped the cash on one...but Im glad I did, it agve me plenty of time to handle other knives to get a better comparison of overall quality...Im glad I waited...On the other hand I also bought knives before they were even released, lol, preorders on knives that were simpy, talked about without even seeign them...So for me it varies wuite a bit! Great video!
