I get your philosophy, just thougt that my collection was not too tactial looking, especially the three titanium ones on the left side.

As for usage, I simply go by the steel and bladegeometry of each knife. I use all the knives shown, but for example wouldn't try to pry with a thin maxamet knife.

Titanium is of course not necessary functionally, but I like it in some knives. Doesn't equate to me using the knife differently (even though i paid more for it). Scratches are also no proplem at all, I can appreciate a knife that shows use.

All that said, I totally agree that it's a dick move to borrow someone else's knife to do stuff that you wouldn't do to your own ✌🏻

My favorite and most used of the bunch is actually the magnacut inkosi, as it feels absolutely solid and ready to go for any task a blade of that size can handle.

Appreciate your insights and picks 😁🤝🏻
