New vs Old

I like ALL knives as long as they're sharp.

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!

New vs Old

Are you a new knife person or a vintage knife person?

Strictly new knives for me, I like to break them in

I am only interested in the latest technology

Pre-owned knives give me the creeps

I will buy whatever catches my fancy, new or old doesn’t matter

I like classic proven knives that have widthstood the test of time

Older knives have interesting character and historical relevance

It depends on my intended use
