The same people who buy smartphones. "A fool and his money are soon parted..."
I could not function without my iphone 8. I do agree that people who need the latest and greatest like to waste their money. I would not be on this forum much if I had to use my computer.
I'd never be on this forum - or the Internet - at ALL, if I had to use a crippled device like a smartphone.

Seriously??
I was late teens when cell phones became main stream, I could very easily go back to not having it in my life. They are a tool of convenience with caveats we voluntarily submit to
I still have a VOIP home phone (ooma telo), and thats the only number any place of business gets

Back on the knift topic
I collected swords, and a few of my Franklin Mint swords ran $1000 back about 20 years ago. They serve no real purpose beyond decorative collector pieces
rhetorical questions aren't really asking for answers. Zorba always rants against cell phones.
Collecting is subjective. My buddy has a $100+K rock memorabilia collection in a dedicated room in his house. It gives him great pleasure and he has the money to do it. It’s nice to look at but does nothing for me. My knives are for daily use and you can’t beat a quality knife for durability.
I've carried a Swiss army knife for years. Bottle opener/screwdriver, corkscrew, knife, tweezers, toothpick, can opener, scissors,... they are $30-50 depending on the stuff you add to it.
I use the knife the most, the corkscrew second.
Everything else I own is utility/work specific and in the shop. Machette, razor blades, box cutter, etc.

Wrong answer. I bought my first cell phone in 1989. Still have one today. Just not a fucking smartphone.

$26 new. I bought one used for $5.
Made in USA.
And yes, definitely good enough for me.

Not to sound like a Debbie downer….but
“Built in America” is the wording used, which is rather elusive
“Built” is kinda like “Assembled”
I hope Im wrong, and it says Made in USA on the blade
I have paid $400 for a folding knife, but I wouldn't pay $400 for a pocketknife, that's just foolish..........
