Moonduck,

I think I may see where you're going.
I agree with a lot of what you said in those last two posts.
I agree that I feel it's silly for people to use/carry tools which are inappropriate for the tasks for which they will be used.

Then again, I feel the same way about Dodge Vipers and Hummer H2s.


For me though, it's not an issue of cost/price. After all, it's their money, they can spend it how they want. I simply believe that one should use a tool appropriate to the task at hand. An EDC is just that, a knife usable for Every Day Carry/use. A huge folder (or fixed blade) is simply not as useful as a smaller blade.

Art knives are another issue entirely; they are works of art/craftmenship which are made even more valuable by having a practical side: they can cut. While art knives do not generally run to my rather sedate tastes, I can appreciate them for their value as art and can't begrudge people their different tastes.

I'll post more of my less than interesting opinions later, but my daughter and I need to go forage for food.

Later all,
B.
