Knife New Year Resolutions

Yes, it's that time of year again- time to take inventory of our knife collecting/using hobby to see if we need to make some changes or begin anew in some areas.

Have you thought about it yet? Well, if you haven't now's the time!

If you had to name one Knife New Year's Resolution, what would it be?

OK, since we typically don't like making changes and particularly making resolutions, I'll lead by example and start us off-

I RESOLVE: to refocus on my elephant toenail collection by not going astray following trendy/cool new designs and customs (sorry custom fans). Over the years, I've "invested" too much $$ & time playing in an arena that has kept me from my passion- my pursuit of good OLD elephant toenails!

Until late this last year it's been many years since I really added anything to my collection. My resolution is simply to add to it. I finally got a new good folder and replaced my tanto I've been missing for many years. This year I hope to add much more and enjoy doing that with my girlfriend as she expands her collection.

Until the September of 2010, I hadn't bought any knife for 2 years. This year,I will at least add a knife to my collection every two month. In the first half of 2011, I will be focusing on waki sized blade, buying at least two more wakizashi to fill up my sword display.

I resolve to expand my japanese style this year!!
