>>2355081my brother gave me a 700$ custom made knife for Christmas, and I use it all the time because its a tool and that's what its made for you can always resharpen it if you go too hard, I also have one from my granddad with a damascus blade, whale bone and black pearl handle that I don't use because its decorative. any knife has use /out/doors be it preparing fires cutting meat or freeing someone tangled in rope or a flipped raft. knifes are not "larp" items swords perhaps but not knives, even large knives have thier place because it they have enough heft they can take the place of an axe
