Well carbon is used in electronics too...And yes, just fancy scales...But every set of fancy scales sells fast and there's a real fanbase for them. So why not?Don't like it, don't buy it
I need a knife I can use if want to.
Actually, there's one for sale in the Netherlands right now on a website called Marktplaats ("Marketplace').

Quote from: Ptisuisse on August 12, 2018, 09:33:10 AMI need a knife I can use if want to.Sorry, but we speak different languages.I have had a knife to use 25 years ago. It was and it is the same old SwissChamp, somewhere near me, around my deck or my coach or else. I also use CT41 for travels, I use Gardner for my home gardening, 16 forged Vic knives, couple of regular Vic knives and a cooking fork in the kitchen. All other hudreds of units are for my hobby, which is purely collecting. I do not care at all about practical side of the knives I buy for shelf-life. I do care about their condition and rarity. I collect factory made SAKs. I know people may do amazing job improving aesthetics of a SAK, but that is outside of my collecting interest.If we speak about practical side of a SAK, 1 (one) SwissChamp and 1 (one) CT41 cover 100% of all imaginable applictations. I really wonder why people spent time discussing 'practical side' and comparison of a huntsman vs camper, tinker vs supertinker. I never read those discussions and I have never cared. This is why I am eager to find this Carbon CT41. Other than 125th anniversary edition there have not been any CT limited edition models.
That is what MTO/Swiss Army Knights is all about. Different people, different countries, different interests, different ways of collecting. Our approach and sensivity are different, but both are equally respectable. We DO speak different languages, but share a common interest.Happy collecting.
