Jeff, it's an addiction, pure and simple.
That it is! I went through a rough patch when I first got hooked, hit rock bottom, recovered, and am now relapsing.
There will be 5 NMFSHs in my near future!
But seriously, it likely has to do with A: Busse & Kin make fantastic knives and B: their marketing strategy is brilliant. I don't NEED another, but I WANT another. That's the thought process, but really, need and want are synonymous in this case.
I wish I had more time to write about B, but that'll have to wait.
