I don't understand the people that think they have to use every single knife they buy either. Not only that they make fun of the ones that choose to use a few and keep some NIB. I wouldn't buy nearly so many knives, if they were just for using. Why? Because I simply don't need dozens of user knives. I need a few to use and can only justify buying the way I do if I keep most of them NIB. I'm a collector, of knives I choose carefully that may go up in value when they aren't available any longer. I'm a user of a select group of what I own, that I feel serves my needs best. If I took every knife I own and just used them all, I'd devalue my collection by many thousands of dollars.
