I know many people who buy knives and claim they are the best ever , yet they have never used them to cut open more than a piece of mail or perhaps a UPS package....
Others buy for the collection factor , to hope to make $$$ on a resell later....
then there are those that buy just for the "cool thing to have factor"....
The same also goes for firearms , I have friends who claim their Glock ( that they might have 500 rounds thru over many years ) is more reliable than my Para P14 with over 70,000 rounds thru it....
People buy for different reasons, neither reason is better than the other....
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder....
All one can do is buy what they like.....
Me, I just struck a deal for a Hossom DogTag , to replace the one I stupidly sold years ago...
