We by ten hundred dollar is. And then we buy three three hundred dollars and then we buy two five hundred dollar knives. And eventually, get to this point, where we're like you know, what after years, you know, some people takes longer, but you're like, you know that doesn't seem to outlandish to carry a thousand dollar knife. Welcome to the knife junkie podcast. You're weekly of knife, news and information about knives and knife collecting. Here's your hosts, Jim person involved, the knife junkie to Marco.

He's got an epic knife collection and an epic night collection. And he's looking to refine reduce and that's something I've been looking to do for a long time. I have a hard time doing it. He's indicated he has a hard time selling knives off. So I figured now would be a good time to get in touch with him and talk about this, this kind of topic, reducing not that I'm going to all custom knives. But I gotta say, Jim holding this custom knife. It changes things a little bit. Gotta gotta step it up a little bit of. Yeah. Yeah.
