The Itch

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

We toenail collectors have all had it. Most of us still have it. You know it is contagious too. The funny thing is the majority of us don’t really want to get rid of it once we catch it.

What the heck am I talking about…The Itch, of course.

Got a email from another new collector yesterday and he confessed…he caught The Itch.  Here’s what he had to say-

Hi Scott,
I am just starting to get the “itch” on these knives. The more I find out the more I want to start collecting them. Can you direct me to some reputable areas to look and perhaps purchase – I don’t like the thought of getting a “fake”. That picture of you with your collection is really something.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

I provided Jeff with a little direction and I think he will be fine now. What I didn’t tell him was once you get it you never really get rid of it. :)

Followup to editorial

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

As a followup to my editorial- I am Angry a few issues need further addressed and clarified in light of some of the comments I have received. Thanks for taking an interest and sharing your thoughts with me.

1. I am fine with criticism. Moreover, as long as it is rendered in gentlemanly (or womanly, as the case may be) fashion, you are free to express your thoughts.

2. It seems as if my comments were incorrectly construed to have been defending sham artists (crooks, fakers, and folks who intentionally deceive others) as a result of a link posted on BladeForums.com and that topic’s context.
