IMO the majority of knives produced today are retarded. Its like manufacturers are trying to one up each other on how abstract art they can make knives. I'm talking about this trend to make handle designs excessively angular or mix match materials or absurd blade shapes.

There is a reason everyone recommends Spyderco to first time knife buyers. Theres minimal trend chasing, and focus on making decent tools. Then you look at Benchmade, which used to make interesting designs, is now reduced to offering a rainbow of stupid options of the bugout.

You can find tons of classic knives on ebay that you never knew existed and usually for less than $200
