Nice write up. I had a 2010s era trident that I carried on my Appalachian Trail thru hike. Dropped it once, my friend was able to find it and send it back.
Eventually lost it again when the clip fell off and I was wearing it clipped to the outside of my backpack straps :(
My brother had picked it out for me. It was a great knife.
Biggest reason I see is religious indoctrination.
