      @Keenan Jaime Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.

    To help with the boredom part, I do want to note that you can buy upgrades for your knives on Ebay! If you are bored of your delica, or maybe your benchmade griptillian, you can buy like blue titanium screws, new pocketclips or coloured standoffs! (and a lot more!). This way you add something special to your knife, and maybe give it that little touch of colour that it needed! I hope this helps someone, this way you can make your knives "interesting" again. Even a simple handmade lanyard could help! (All of these options are really cheap!)

    • @NickShabazz

      +sjoerd stop This is definitely true, and some knives (the Hinderers, particularly) have entire industries built on customization and upgrades. Good comment!

    Excellent points as always Nick. I really like the rent idea, that has helped me deal with all the money I've lost buying and selling. It's nice to know there are so many others out there who love this stuff like I do. A support group indeed lol.
    As far as taking a bath goes, I spent two years lusting over the xm-18. Finally I got up the nerve to buy one. Sold my two Reates and threw in another $150 cash. It was an amazing quality pry bar. It took me a few months to admit that it was not all I had built it up to be in my mind. As the Hinderer bubble burst and they started becoming available for less and less I couldn't bring myself to sell it because of the bath I would take. So I held onto it for another 3 months until I finally admitted defeat and sold it for half of what I paid. That one still hurts. My name is Scott and I'm a knife and gear addict.

    Insightful and enjoyable vid.
    My biggest realization is that when one says "I would never spend $X (an outlandish but bugetable amount) for a knife/pen/bag, one will eventually spend $X for a knife/pen/bag that has become a holy grail type object.

    OMG, I've been needing this video for so long! How come I found it only after 2 years? I tried to put an end to my knife addiction last year. I decided not to buy a single knife in 2017. Guess what. I've owned 1 wristwatch for 19 years no problem. After the knife-ban year I am on 10 pc. and counting. I do have a problem.

    Mr Nick: a hearty thank you, before I started watching your channel I knew the world was doomed, I had a supreme fear of gear withdrawal and saw no inherent good in the choices I have made in buying the latest-greatest edc. You have provided the light at the end of the tunnel and your not a train.

    Either that, or just be happy with what I have, and stop giving in to curiosity about things that I don't have.

  • @dubasciver3234
    @dubasciver3234 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing I have found helpful it taking a long time before making a purchase. Watching reviews, conducting research, and just plain old holding off can make the difference between a regrettable buy and a satisfying buy. In short, avoid impulsive purchases. It will save you money.

    Great video! 1. Buying used or after the market discounts the hot must have item. Usually results in 30% discount. I found a $220 knife second hand knife on blade forums for $115.00 . If you buy right baths are less likely. Thanks for the video. Much appreciated 😎👍

  • @ErosDavid
    @ErosDavid 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the perspective of thinking of a trial as a "rental", if you do happen to lose money when you sell. We often do this with cars, but we accept that as inherent to having automobiles - and it's a lot more money!

    Pro tip: Take pride in learning a few things along the way but don't be a know-it-all. I have learned more knife terms that I ever thought I would. I learned to spot a good deal when I see one. I have learned about the counterfeit problem. I have learned about many different kinds of steel and the process of making steel for knives. And so on ...

    a lot of this feels relevant to the sage 3 I just bought. I want to love it, and justify it, but after 2 weeks it's just not clicking with me. reality of it is that it's just a subpar manix, while being a little prettier.

  • @basbas63
    @basbas63 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    My suffering was mostly spending money and only enjoying the new stuff for a short while.
    I stopped buying knives since I realised all I carry for EDC is a Victorinox classic SD + Spartan or Climber and use an Opinel for most outdoor cooking/BBQ situations. A Cold Steel code 4 is sleeping in my car and at this point I have no idea if it has started rusting yet since it doesn't get used at all.
    With watches.. I found what I love, a Seiko SPB037J1
    on a leather strap and a Seiko Samurai.
    I got a Fenix E05 as a keychain, works well for whatever I need it for. I can't remember ever buying any other flashlight to be honest.
    Personally, I enjoy new gear but only for a week, the high is gone fast.. Even if it is a bit better it isn't going to change my life in any meaningful way either so I decided to stop buying stuff xD I do still love to watch gear videos for some reason..

    @kylestewart4444 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    So many people buy things that they love the look of online only to hate how it feels or functions as soon as it arrives. It's just one of those things that comes with the death of most brick and mortar store shopping.
    If people could go to any knife counter at any sporting goods store and fondle a Sebenza, CRK may have 20-30% fewer sales.
    Hell, we've all ordered knives online that we easily could have picked up locally for the same price. People just have an amazing capacity for laziness and a desire for ultimate convenience.

    At least buy from retailers that have a good return policy. Bladehq gives you 20 days to return a knife. Amazon is 30 days. I bought my first Buck knife, the vantage pro from Bladehq. I didn't like it from the beginning. Tiny flipper tab, hard to get a solid flip, very late lockup. I tried to convince myself to try to give it time, play with it and maybe after a week or two I'll find something to like about it. Nope, piece of garbage. Sent it back and got a WE 617. I always check the return policy before I buy an item. Had to send back a couple of Ganzos that were nightmares. I won't be buying any more of them. It's a very satisfying feeling sending back a knife and getting it out of my life, my money returned, and moving on to the next one.

    At 6:40, where you start talking about thinking what you could do with the money instead of buying a knife... That's exactly how I reason many of my EDC gear purchases. I look at a bottle of liquor or a case of beer, and think "ehh...this will give me a few hours worth of enjoyment...but putting that $20 towards a ZT I'll carry every day, I'll get a lot more bang for my buck." ha

I just made $950 off of a $150 purchase I sat on for a year because, at the time, I paid wayyyyy too much. Try new things, but your hobby isn't worth missing rent or your kids birthday party!

Also, the large inkosi is still the most comfortable knife I've ever held lol you built differently Mr. Shabazz!

    @wallybanner512 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    The way i see it, for what i do with my knives: open boxes and make fun of my friends for being scared at first when i showed them my poop knife (kershaw wrinkle 2), a decent quality thirty dollar knife is fine. if i lose it ill be sad for a minute or two and buy another. but i couldnt bring myself to buy an expensive knife because i dont have a job yet, and would be unable to get out of bed in the morning if i lost it. yeah nick loves those $500+ pieces of artistic beauty and genius engineering, but truth is the delica (or maybe even one of the rats) is all he needs to cut stuff effectively. I hope i never go down the path he does however he is one my favorite youtubers and i do plan to buy a casio oceanus one day.

    Pro tip: Buy what you like, not what gets you likes. Unless, of course, what you like is getting likes. And that's okay, too, as long as you embrace it.

    Something in our lizard brains makes us feel a need to justify every purchase we make. The more money we spent, the more justified that purchase was, so we think.
    It's just one of those laws of the jungle.

    Love your channel and your take on knives, but for the last 70+ years a gear head has been a car nut. Just saying....

    It's like gambling or investing. Don't play with your rent money, and you'll be okay.

    My Contribution:. Your average knife fanatic is by nature promiscous in his affections. This applies to knives and wives, of course. You can't help yourself. So, just tell your wife that Nick, your therapy group leader, has given you permission not to beat yourself up about all this. She can call Nick herself if she needs a better explanation.

    Don't go online buying knives when you have been drinking.
