I didn't realise until my cousin got competitive in motocross how physically demanding it is and how fit they are.

I was wrong, very wrong.
Personally I feel some sort of pride when holding my Buck 119
I guess nostalgia and legend do play a part in some ways with me - I became interested in the Ka Bar 1217 knife after reading about it, currently I'm reading up on the MACV SOG knives (though I'll never be able to afford an original!I find it extremely interesting to see your point of view on that topic and I wonder if another reason, rarely mentionned yet, could be some kind of nostalgia or even an honor (in a certain way) to carry or own a certain knife. Personally I feel some sort of pride when holding my Buck 119 since it is a legendary object with a great history. And this feeling, in a lighter form, accompanies me simply when I carry a knife: so could knives also be seen as symbols of a man of honor? As nostalgic status icons in the postmodern world ?
