So I find myself at a crossroads when it comes to my EDC folder.
I have a CRKT Drifter. Its cheap. It was like $15. But, its also not very solid. I have had it only 5 months and the blade steel is near impossible to not only get razor sharp but to also keep it that way.
So here my conundrum.
You pay $350 for a Sebenza for example. Truly a knife that will be the last knife you may ever need to buy. It has it all. But what if you lose it? Drop it in the lake or some crazy thing? Man, that would SUCK!
Or, you pay $15 to maybe even $80-100 and get a decent knife. But its still not the best and may or may not be something that will last. And should you lose it, no big deal for the most part.
So what does one do? INVEST in the quality blade or spend the money on something that will "do the trick" for a while?
