I buy to use the knife.
But... I'm leary of buying used as I'm a bit concerned of buying a fake.
Also I prefer a lock on the blade. Having a knife snap back down gives me the heeby jeebies.
 
I grew up in area where knife-making was a big deal in the 19th Century. As a result: I'm always looking for a knife from those old forges.
But I DO love the new steels also!
