  • I don’t doubt that. I also don’t want to deny a service member a knife. I carry one and think it’s pretty fucking handy.

    My first point is that a serviceable utilitarian fixed-blade knife is in the $30-$50 range. With the service-member markup that is not anywhere near $300.

    My second point is that buying a tool is about meeting the utilitarian need first. Maybe an entry level knife might not hold up as well as a mid-range of the same design, but as the price goes up, you are getting diminishing returns on utility. It might be off an assembly line, but anything over $50 is still a luxury.

    May be with your time to move your work stuff over to a used business-class machine. You can sometimes find them on the cheap at auction or whatever. My current batch was acquired for a song. If you live anywhere near Cincinnati Ohio I can get you one for extra cheap. I’d rather take the talk to DM, though.
