I surely don’t have all the answers. I just like pocket knives. I buy what appeals to me at the time. I appreciate users that I can actually use instead of safe queens, and if I get a safe queen I’ll use it at some point. Why? I invested my money and my return is the enjoyment I get from it. Same with my gun hoard, er, collection.

So, I buy what I like, use what I got, and if there’s any increase, my wife and sons (who like knives too) will benefit from it.
