A few of the reasons I like traditional folders is that 1.) a lot of the designs incorporate multiple blades which is extremely useful to me in EDC. 2.) a lot of builders use natural materials for handles like bone, wood, stag antler, mother of pearl, etc. which to me brings a "warmth" to an otherwise cold tool (not sure if I'm really verbalizing correctly what I'm trying to say here) 3.) Visually, most traditionals are stunning and I think the simplicity is beautiful. 4.) I am getting older, and I'm finding myself attracted to more simplistic, natural, and useful blades rather than tacticool.
Thanks for the opportunity to win, and good luck to everyone.
