Well, I know more 'well heeled' folks that actually earned their money, and never stole it. And lots of those guys put funds into their "toys of choice" selectively. For example, I don't go camping, own a Cadillac, or own a hunting cabin or have a sculptured back yard. We all know guys like that, but they don't have gun or knife collections. Matter of choice.
To be fair, I did have safe queens--once. Sold them long ago. I like to use my toys.
However, I do see lots of very expensive 'fighters' out there, and that confuses me. These guys all talk about self-defense, claim that there is need for tactical knives, dress up in cammo like a soldier, drive a huge for-wheel truck, and for the most part it's okay. It's their money.
But the very expensive and well designed knife supposed created for defense is left in the safe. Not much good there. The four-wheeler never gets driven off road, or dirty for that matter. And the cammo stuff just baffles me.
A knife is only 'tactical' if it's used. If I had to list the stuff mine does it would be for loose threads, mail (or UPS) and food. And when I say that I get flames. Should I start advertising in the local paper for duels? Or where does one go for all of this knife fighting?
