As some others have said, the only reason I retire any is a broken spring. Even then, some Ive "fixed" and made friction folders.
Some might not get everday use, or primary use often, but I still do carry them... they deserve to get to continue to live.
Here is my most recent that some might call "worn out", had since last summer. I'd intended to do a sheepsfoot or coping blade with the broken main, but it has remnants of a deep blade etch on it, and I can't bring myself to gring it away...
