So, any of you guys deciding to EDC a less expensive knife so if you lost/damaged, or broke it you wouldn't be heartbroken?
I've a couple of expensive Benchmades that I really like to carry, but they are ones that are discontinued, and over time the collectors will, (or have had,) the prices skyrocket on the 'bay.
I've shocked at what some of the knife prices are for some models that haven't been made for a few years,, and even some that were discontinued not that long ago are going up in value fast.
Might go back to something like a Buck/Gerber/Cold Steel/whatever, something that could be replaced without spending a small fortune.
Keep the collectables for, ya know, a "barbecue" knife.
