   Perhaps it is old age and forgetfulness, but it seems that years ago   
   one bought a pocket knife and eventually lost the fool thing, but I   
   never remember anyone saying that "well I wore it out".   
      
   Is this an indication that knives are of lower quality today? Of just   
   that we remember only the good things about the "good old days"?
