Now THAT is funnyLet’s be fair. She still thinks your knives cost what you told her they did.

Even the best knife won’t last forever. It’s essentially disposable. If used daily and kept sharp. No knife will last more than 100 years. I doubt many knives would make 30 years.
I totally get what you are saying. I know it’s not 1 time use disposable, but it won’t last forever. It’s wearing out as you use it.
AMEN. The past few years of my life have been full of sickness and loss of friends and family.This was not worth fighting a whole day for.
Someday you may wish you had that day back.
It always fascinates me what people spend money on, and what they take issue with.Now THAT is funny
I don't have the stomachacheto pull off some of that stuff
You are very welcome.
You are the one who chose to share your childish behavior on a public forum. You thought everyone here was like minded and would agree with you. You were wrong.
You guys realize all knives are disposable right? Eventually they all will wear out get broken chipped etc.
That is entirely dependent on the blade geometry. Pry bars like a Strider, Medford, etc., sure. Thin fixed blade slicers, no.
Your individual idea of "disposable" depends on your income or access to rescources, for some a knife is disposable, for others a car is disposable, to a wealthy man it might be a...well, I dunno Im not wealthy....I have had a couple knives come back to me missing tips or parts of the edge. I'll still lend out a knife to people I trust to use it as a cutting tool, but I still watch them use it. If the tip becomes a screwdriver, that guy is never using my knife again. I, like several others has noted, love using my knives and seeing them used. There's just something about the scars a knife carries...
I suppose some knives could be considered disposable... but if your definition of disposable is that it will eventually wear out then everything is disposable. My wife thought the same thing while driving her car two quarts low on oil; there is no need to care for something if it's disposable. You can just keep using it until you can't.
Punched two openings in a condensed milk can with the small (thin) blade of an SAK many years ago - no damage. The Fallkniven WM1 the OP mentioned has a 3.5 mm blade stock - that's not a thin slicer and should not have taken any damage.
Opening cans is a job for P-38s...
...Or a properly equipped SAK or multi-tool...
Know what's even faster, stops quicker, and goes off road better than a rental? A stolen car...It's interesting to me how different people treat borrowed tools. I'm in the camp that takes special care with a borrowed tool because it's not mine and I want to return it in the condition received (or better). Some people treat tools that they borrow like rental cars and don't care what happens to them because they perceive no long term responsibility. Nothing accelerates harder, turns sharper, stops more quickly, or goes off road quite like a rental. And if you need to do a PIT maneuver on that pesky Prius that just cut you off . . . always do it in a rental.

I thought it sounded weird when you wrote that the tip of a Fallkniven broke.
