pvtsnobalz, I apologize for taking your posts so lightly earlier. I thought you were being a bit more tongue in cheek as I could not imagine my parents opening up my bank statement or cc bill. I'm quite a bit older than you and though I'm still a working man I am financially stable enough to spend a bit of discretionary income on knives that first of all I like and second hope that will go up in value and be a part of retirement assets. Many of the other dogs here have given good advise. ishakawa in particular. Best wishes in your quest to become a cop, and good luck in getting your parents under control. I am sure that they, although may be a bit misinformed, only wish the best for you.
its all good, i just needed to vent after that little conversation he had with me.
maybe i might show him the secondary market and maybe he might get into looking at it as "investment" or at least that they hold their value. though i HIGHLY doubt he'll get into the knife USE part lol
