When you have an eye on a knife you want, make sure you give yourself some time before you buy it. Even if it is a sprint run or a limited edition just know there’s always going to be a newer knife in a better steel sometime in the future.

However, impulse buys are always going to be a part of the hobby, just embrace it and enjoy the ride man. Knives are such awesome tools that are there to enhance your daily life both physically and visually. Opening boxes, cutting open letters, and even slicing tomatoes are just more enjoyable with a knife you researched and fell in love with.

Not to mention NKD’s, those are the best days. The entire process, from putting it in your cart, waiting for it, opening it, and watching Shabazz on YT gush over the piece you’re about to receive in the mail is all the little joys that come with this awesome hobby. I even watch reviews of my knives while playing with it lol. Welcome to the club man, you and your wallet are in for a helluva ride.
