Just have to vent

I would be pissed!! But I normally don't let others use my knives and if asked they usually get a lecture on on how helpless they are at that moment, especially family members.

Its not that its too high class for them to use its that most have no concept of what its really worth, They think $25 is lots to spend on a knife and that fact that it might be $250 or more blows their minds...

I have the same rule for foutain pens, most people don't know how to use them and wil just wreck them if they try. So I have a cheap (by fountain pen standards) pen and knife for loaners. They are still worth more than most people realize, as both are about $50 items, but at least its not agonizing when its wrecked, or lost.

The problem isn't the guy who owns it having nice stuff, its that most people nowadays have forgotten that etiquette requires you treat other's stuff much better than your own.

I agree with your entire post, but the part in bold especially. Well said indeed!
 
What if the borrowed object was something more commonly known as possibly being of value like a camera or a watch? I think we would all ask for compensation if those type of objects we're misplaced. When I've been asked to borrow my knife, even though I preface the "handover" with a warning to bring the knife back, 50% of the time I have to go find the knife later on. Human nature I guess. Let the loaner beware.
