Put a quarter in it and throw it away...

Sounds like he's not the most knowledgable person when it comes to knives. And to put in bluntly, he ain't the sharpest tool in the shed either.
 
I carry a Pioneer Pruner everyday at work because it is slim and I find the hawkbill blade useful for getting seals out of the plastic they come in. I carry a Pioneer Harvester off work because I might actually need the saw and it reminds me of my first knife, a Camp King socut knife. Each are worth twice the price I paid, at least to me.

I think we'd need more info from backwoodsboy about the character making the statement, before making a comment like this. I knew ranchers in Montana who didn't care for SAKs because the blade steel didn't hold an edge very long for the work they did. I know Scout leaders here who would rather carry the old Scout knives (Camillus, Ulster, etc.) because the blade steel carries a good edge for quite a while.

I like SAKs for their utility (I love my Huntsman) and the blade steel is great for teaching inexperienced folks how to sharpen a knife. A little effort produces a good, usable edge.

However, I also know a grumpy old coot who throws away anything imported. :( He's a great guy most of the time, but you can't tell him anything.

thx - cpr
