Banned From Ebay!

[UK KEN]

Hello all!

I would like everyone here to bare witness to the fact that I am officially banned from looking at on eBay for three months

This has not been an easy decision but this self imposed ban is nevertheless very necessary. I thought I had my addiction under control but almost every time I turn on my PC I find another beautiful . I suspect a conspiracy, just when I feel that my collection is as good as it can get, another variation I don't own comes up for sale I blame the sellers.....you know who you are!

I tell myself "just say no" but my mouse hand has a will of its own and before I know what has happened the "buy it now" button has been pressed and another knife is on its way. This in itself isn't the problem. It is when I have to press the "pay now" button my troubles begin. Just as well I can't afford any presents for the wife and kids this year because I'm thinking of selling them!

So a message to all the vendors out there, do your worst, I will not be watching! Honestly

I understand your pain.

I regret to inform you that there is currently no cure for this dread condition. The only relief would be death, and that would mean you would miss next years' models.

What was the quote from the Red Green Show? "I'm pulling for you; we're all in this together."

Yeah I hear that cliche when you are trying rid yourself of an addiction that is one of the terms they use. However a Spyderco addiction is much more complex than that. This kind of an addiction reaches into the very tentacles of your psyche and through the smallest crevices of your soul. It surpasses smoking, drinking and some of the other most brutal addictions. The problem with this disorder (blessing) is that ownership of 's are very justifiable. There is always that excuse that " I just got to have that one to complete my set". Or " I have that one in S30V but I don't have it in 440V". No matter what rationale you use to bolster your ( lost) willpower it all becomes very futile in an endless desire to have the one you just don't have, but have had it on your want list ( gotta have list) for such a long time. Hannibal has pointed out with great accuracy that it is a life long addiction ( being totally consumed). Also support groups are a waste of time; all they do is generate more covetousness & envy. Just think about what the Great Factory has said all along: " Just Think About It; All GOD's Critter's Have Knives". We are no exception; we just happen to be worse.

Well Ken,
If your ban from Ebay means you won't be listing any spydies for sale then maybe I'll save some money too! ( Love the blue Spyderhawk by the way ).

Anyway - I admire your good intentions but I'm willing to bet you don't last 3 days, never mind 3 months. Those s are damn addictive aren't they?? As for me, at least I've got the chance to work a fair bit of overtime just now. Just as well............................

"LET THEM EAT TURKEY THIS YEAR FOR ONCE !" Without a new Spydie for Christmas, what will Ken cut his turkey with?

An old one!

I am approaching a hiatus myself, just need a couple more. No, I just need the willpower. One day at a time Ken!

My name is Ken!

I am an addict! It has been three days since my last fix. (pause for applause)

It isn't easy, but, one day at a time!

Now confess, how many Design Team UK Penknife's did you order from Olive?

None! I'll explain......As you are aware, I placed an order with Edgar Bros. about six weeks ago for four knives, one each for you and Timlara, one for my collection and a user. Then when JFJ advertised that he had some I placed an order for four with him as they were numbered.

At this time I was under the impression that only enough design team knives were being produced in order to provide a knife each to members of the design team. I was not included in this group. Though getting hold of a design team knife to add to my collection would have been great.

Some time later, JFJ contacted me to let me know that he was unable to supply any of the four I had ordered. That left Edgar Bros who haven't even bothered to reply to me! When I went back to British Blades, which to be honest I don't do as often as I used to these days, it looks as though more design team knives were made than were needed! Orders had been placed with Olive and the replies sent out. So I missed out there too

The knives will be available soon from UK outlets. I will be buying mine from Bruce at Heinnie Haynes.
