Well, I will put a damper on the quality-over-quantity issue.
That's only true up to a certain point and for certain people. I think if I were to convert all the knives I own into one really expensive knife... A) I'd have a hard time using it, and B) It'd probably not be perfect for all jobs.
Sometimes you need a fixed blade, sometimes you need a slim folder, sometimes you want a tank folder, sometimes you need a whatever, but if you've sold all your knives to get only one knife, you won't have the option to carry one that best suits you.
So if your collection is like mine, and consists of less than a dozen knives at any given point, each one may have a particular use to you. If you have hundreds of knives and only carry four or five of them, then I can definitely see some consolidation into more expensive ones.
