I agree that knives are meant to be used. The Mk3 is a knife that you'll want to use often. I will - as soon as I purchase my second one. The first one was purchased as a collector's item as were the first-run Mk1 and Mk1 mini that I have. I now have a collector's set of all three knives with matching serial numbers. I'm usually more frugal than this, but I really like these knives.

I also have a "working" set of Mk1s that I use often. The mini is my EDC. The larger Mk1 goes with me any time I go outdoors. Once I purchase another Mk3, It will see plenty of use.
