And that's why I buy $5 pocket knives. I'm not spending twice as much to wait two weeks for a replacement when I depend on my pocket knife every single day.
I try to BIFL whenever I can but this is one case where the trade-off of a cheap knife are better.
No, seriously, every day. I'm a handyman. I'm lost without my pocket knife. I have to replace one about every two years.
I do the same thing and I've had my Leatherman for over a decade now
Dunno what you're doing that requires a new knife every two years!
Buying knives for $5 probably has something to do with it
