It's Not My Fault!

There are those who keep telling me that my knife hobby is out of control.

Especially with Swiss Army Knives!

And that I am spending money like a drunken sailor on shore leave.

They don't understand. They don't hear the voices! They have never met...

Dog Buddha!

The Dog Buddha speaks to me late at night. He orders me to buy Swiss Army Knives.

I am helpless! Powerless over the Dog Buddha! It's not my fault!

You understand. Don't you? Well, don't you!

Please tell me you understand.

Some sites discourage posting to old discussions, but thankfully not iKC.
Until recently, I would have said that "Dog Buddha" was a myth, but no longer...

Up until recently, I only had 1 Swiss Army Knife, one of the "Super Timekeepers". Its essentially a Victorinox SwissChamp with a small watch added to the front side. It stayed in a drawer, safely nestled in its leather belt sheath.

I said, up until recently, because the urge came over me that I needed some more. In the last month, all of my eBay searches have been for SAKs. Some how I've picked up over a dozen, in this time frame.

I told myself that I had enough. There not intended to be collectors pieces, but good users. For the most part they're all used. I've even gone as far as getting extra springs, toothpicks, split rings, for maintenance.

Figured I was set. Finished buying for a while, but NO. Somehow, 2 or 3 more showed up on my watching list, along with associated bids.

Ron, tell Dog Buddha to stop.

J.J....

If only I could, my friend. The Dog Buddha is cunning. He speaks so softly in my ears. Barely a whisper...like the wind. He speaks. I obey! To resist is futile. Obey the Buddha.

Enjoy the fruits of obedience to the Dog Buddha! They will magically continue to appear!

Not wanting to get into a politica/ideological discussion, but Dog Buddha must be of the Democratic persuasion.
Seems that they do "Magically" appear, however the funds to cover them do not.

The Pony Express just dropped off several sets of used scales that I intend to swap out on a couple of mine. Also got a Spartan with the SilverTech scales, which I bought, specifically, for the scales, to use on one of my Deluxe Tinkers.
Funny how you can get a complete knife for less than the cost of relpacment scales.
