What’s the most you’ve spent on what?

[CRSIII]

Like the title says, what’s the most?
What did you get?
(I’m living vicariously here)

 

[allen-1]

Divorce.

initially cost me a house, its contents, a truck and a motorcycle.

Plus attorney fees.

And a chunk of what we laughingly call my sanity

 

[jek]

My house.

 

[Lennypeters]

$60 plus tip for 2 beers and 2 hamburgers. Last night. Wanted to try out a new place. Got that out of my system.

 

[whatluck]

Bought property, a house, a truck and camper, and fixed the house up. Now I need a fence and want 200 Amp service.

12vdc will probably suffice for the fence, 200 amp is a bit overkill.

Recently would be a significant amount for a swim spa hot tub. Worth its weight in gold.

Seeing as this is a knife forum I’m going to guess you mean knives.

RJ Martin Q-36

My boss loves using food delivery apps. He bought last time so it was my turn. Couple of cheeseburgers, fries and drinks. Food, plus delivery, plus tip... $40-something. Never again.

eta- didnt realize this was the knife thread, lol. Im not much of a knife guy, so the most expensive one Ive bought was prob a ~$40 SAK.

Good catch, I missed the knife forum part.

 

[Ron Jablonski]

My microtech Stitch, took me a while to find the configuration I wanted.

 

[Lennypeters]

I also didn't notice it was in a knife forum. Was just reading the posts before mine. Since it is a knife forum the most I ever spent and it was while ago was about $40 on a Kershaw 1660.

And probably worth every penny.

My house.

I have spent 3 times what I paid on my house on college education for my 3 kids.

 

[loonski]

1982 I spent $10.00 on a cucumber sandwich in Nantucket. 2 pieces of white bread, a dab of mayo and 4 thin thin slices of cucumber. Was the cheapest thing on the lunch menu at a beach roach coach

 

[LTCRN]

Materialistically and recently? My truck in January.
Of all time, my house!
Non - Materialistic, my children. They are priceless!

Glad that wasn’t my case. I bought my current house long after they graduated college.

 

[PL-52]

$ 60 for a Buck 110 . Had it for like 2 weeks, when I snapped the point off the blade. Totally my fault for trying to use it as a screw remover.

 

[Kevin_NH]

This is my Allen Elishewitz custom. IIRC, he took a personal check for $1K at the show (Duane Dwyer had all my cash).

I was the polar opposite. I bought my house 32 years ago for $158k

Awesome knife and though I'd probably not spend that level of money on a knife, I can see it being well worth the price of admission. Impressive work.

 

[wildwest]

Not a knife worthy of this thread but it's probably 10+ years old, use it every day...think it was $145? Most expensive thing with a blade I own unless you count kitchen knives.

 

[Nomad3]

The most is my house but outside of that probably spent 55-60k building out a ford transit van back in 2016. Used for both weekend trips around New England and also home away from home a couple times a year. Could not live without it. Florida today…

Edit: realized this is the knife forum. Here’s my benchmade I picked up in Amarillo Texas for 2 bills.

 

[Ron Jablonski]

This is actually the most expensive one I've bought, beats my stitch by $20 or so. The merlot is probably my favorite production color they use, again it took me a while to hunt down this configuration. Microtech sucks that way, if you don't find what you want on an initial drop it can be a hassle to track something down without buying it second hand at a mark up.

 

[not new guy]

Curtiss F3 was around 700. Love that knife.

Behind that is probably my Chris Reeve one piece knife, which was around 400 used some years ago.

 

[KBCraig]

Not expensive, but absolutely worth it.

40 years ago I bought a Swiss Army "camper" that to me was a fortune as I was making maybe $8 hour. Had it my pocket today and I consider it priceless.

My dad had a SAK "Hiker" that my mom gave to me after he died. I carried it for a bit but started to worry Id lose it or break it or whatever so I bought a new one and his stays at the house.

I have other customs, mostly show "lottery" picks in the range of $250-$350.

 

[jaymce]

Probably the top one in this pic.
Can't remember exactly but probably $4-500 neighborhood.
