I thought about it many times, it's an addiction made worse by my compulsion to do so. I can't stop.
Is there something about the knives you like? Design? or just anything you fancy at the time?
Knives are useful tools. I like to obtain high quality knives, use them for a season, then obtain a new high quality knife. Since I work construction I tell myself that after every construction season, I get one new knife. I go to a few local knife shops, peruse both the factory and hand made knives, and pick out a favorite knife that is reasonably priced. Then I take it home and look at how pretty it is and carry it around in my backpack or pocket. If it's lunch time and I need a knife to slice cheese or spread condiments I use my knife and then clean it. If I get some mail or a package, I use my knife. If I am out camping and need to start a campfire, I'll make some shavings using my knife. Also, if I go to a steak restaurant, I use my knife, not the dull restaurant knife.
I don't do anything fancy like skin animals, baton wood, or murder people with my knives, I just use them for every day tasks.
