Well, then don't post. Simple as that.

This was a thread from a while ago actually, so I did my best to edit it to encompass other things. If it's still something you can't answer, don't contribute. I'd actually prefer that this thread be closed.

You're handling yourself just fine. I appreciate your polite, respectful approach. :thumbup:
 
i buy to use but i have one that is display and thats because its a dagger i have no use for and was way under priced
 
Displaying knives or keeping them in safes is just fine btw. If you have art on the walls in your home there is nothing wrong with knives in a safe or in a display case. Money is a resource, nothing more. Some of us have an Abundance of that resource while most don't. If you happen to have a surplus of that resource you are not obligated to beat yourself up over it. My display case is partially filled of interesting to me mnives in the sub $30 range. Trust me, if I had a surplus of the cash resource there would be more expensive knives in there and more of them; just as I would have more expensive art on my walls in the same circumstance.

To me, there are two kinds of people that are into knives, most notably the higher end productions and upwards.

The first kind is the Boaster I suppose. This is the type of Knife guy that buys a knife for the blade steel and its reputation, the handle material(s), if it has ball bearings or washers, and the name on the blade. Once the knife comes in, it sits in a safe or in its box and only comes out to show off to friends and cut paper. And boasting rights."I got an 0562CF and it has 204P. Teehee. Now let me put it in my Pelican" OR better yet "I got this D.O.C. It has Elmax and is pretty much a Tony Marfione custom.I like it, and it can take a beating." And then it sits in its box, never carried, and only gets flipped when friends come over. (That example is courtesy of my friend. That's literally what he said [emoji55] )


The second type is the User. The one who buys knives based on everything I mentioned above, but also thinks about longevity, blade grind, and purpose of cutting. Their knives don't just sit in the case. They get used and sharpened and cut more than paper. Their knives have character and stories behind them. Then the other group comes along and makes fun of the users because their knife has a wider edge bevel or it shows wear. Can you tell which side I'm partial to? [emoji6] [emoji6]

Of course, there are always in betweens. You could have 4 knives you use but that one knife you don't. You could have 7 knives you don't use but you have 3 good knives you do. And whatever you do may not even be here in this post. So tell me! Let me know! 😆



Special thanks to TheApostleP on YouTube for inspiring this topic with his ZT 0562CF review.

What about collection-minded light users?

Not all of us are boasters or hard tradesmen.

The best advice I can give you is to cultivate an attitude of unrelenting suspicion towards false binaries for the rest of your life.
