Being an old fart that grew up in the decade just after WW2, I can tell you that the "old school" knives were not built anywhere near as tough as the so called tactical knives of today. They had blades that were much thinner than todays knives, and you could break off a blade very easy by prying, or doing something other than use it as a cutting tool. But on the other hand, we didn't think, or were under the impression that, stabbing car doors or prying open a bank vault door was the duty of a pocket knife. Our knives were used for cutting things. That was it. They were not status symbols, bragging rights, or for fulfilling fantasies from from unreal video games. They were used as valued tools, and treated accordingly. As a result, sometimes a grandfather got to hand down his knife to a grandson while it was still in serviceable condition. We were raised to respect our tools, to take care of them, and make them last. There was no lifetime warrantee that we could break up our knives and then send them back to the maker to be replaced.
But I guess times as well as values change, sometimes not for the better.
