People with $1500 "hard use" knives...

[Comeuppance]

Just kidding! Don't let anyone tell you what you should and should not enjoy. Everyone has their own personal preferences, priorities, and passtimes. If someone gives you grief about the kind of knife you have and what you do or do not do with it, then you are 100% entitled to politely ignore the person who clearly needs to go drink some paint thinner.

Seriously, that's like telling someone their favorite music is "bad". Life is too short to browbeat people over preferences that don't interfere with anyone's life but their own.

This has been a reminder that what you like is not fit to be judged unless it affects others. Carry your knife or don't. Buy what you want. It shouldn't matter to anyone if you use a $50 buck 110 or a $5000 full dress custom to break down that box. MokuTi or FRN, doesn't matter. It's what you have or what you want, and that's why it's a hobby and not a competition.

I sincerely appreciate this reminder. As collectors being sometimes overthought, this perspective is too easy to lose.

I don't mind telling people what they like sucks, not that I do...
But if they feel "browbeat" when I do, they might ought to see a shrink, not that it would help, but just to support the economy.
Everyone has opinions you know, some we learn from. If you disagree with mine, you're just ignorant.

just kidding... but maybe not.

People with $1,500 knives (hard use or not) have a lot more "disposable income" than I do.
Eh ... such is "life".

People who buy $1500 knives support a vibrant industry at the high end; we all benefit indirectly.
