How does one ever use 500 knives? If you rotated 'em every day it would take you nearly a year and a half to get back to using one the second time...LOL.
@ ArfinGreebly:
Funny you mentioned the pens you did. What pen do I carry? A stainless/24K Parker, but it has a Fisher Space Pen refill inside of it. Having lived on the coast of the Bering Sea I came to appreciate a pen that would still write outside when it was 30 below zero. However, my Christmas cards are filled out with a Parker Duofold fountain pen, the same model used to sign the surrender treaty with Japan at the end of WWII abourd the USS Missouri.
i need to know what a $300.00 knife does that a $60.00 knife doesnt.

Because I damn well deserve it...

I'm in the camp that knife metal and design stops improving around $50-80.
I have a gerber gator I've had for 13 years now that is as sharp as the day I bought it.
Main reason I don't buy expensive knives (I carry this CRKT M16) is because I abuse the heck out of my knives (don't sharpen regularly ... don't clean regularly ... don't oil regularly ... occasionally use as a pry-bar or screwdriver) and I just can't see spending top dollar on something I'm not going to take proper care of.
