That is why I don't regularly carry around an expensive pocket knife. Maybe for camping or something I would have a nice one, where quality is paramount, but otherwise if it is half decent steel, ill get every dollars worth out of it even when it eventually gets destroyed. Like if I was opening a bag of dirt or soil, I sure as fuck not going to want to fuck up the edge on some fancy expensive knife that will take forever to grind and sharpen back to service. If I do need a knife like that, there is no problem in bringing two. Like I might carry a utility knife and a general pocket knife so I can cut cardboard products with the utility knife and maintain a better pocket knife edge. If im working in the dirt I might use a general pocket knife with a serrated section that im not worried about plunging into some dirt or sod, and carry a better and sharper knife for something like cutting insulation or cutting wood or tough string.
