Ive been collecting for about two years now and the whole first year I didnt own a knife over 40$. At the time I didnt believe the higher priced knives were worth the money, its a knife as long as it cuts it works were my feelings. I couldnt have been more wrong! Now in the second year I dont really buy many knives under 100$. Its because I now what I like more mostly but also Ive seen what you get for the money. In most cases your get better steel, materials, warranties, holds edge longer, and just last alot longer. Thats what I like and look for now
I always thought it was funny when people balk at spending a little extra money (Maybe $50 - $150) for a better knife that will last them the rest of their lives while not even thinking twice about spending tens of thousands on a car that they will just trade in or whatever for a huge loss in a few years.
Spend $30K to $50K + on a car that will decrease in value by $10's of thousands in a few years but not even thinking about spending over a certain amount on a knife that is considerably less than a single car payment......
Each to their own I guess.
