I bet there are some people who bought it, all the same. Lotta people just gotta have the biggest and the most expensive, because it is the biggest and the most expensive.
I have a Wenger knife on my desk here. It's heavy and awkward and the altimeter and temp gauge didn't work almost from day one, but it has a high quality, rare and wonderful tool, a tiny screwdriver for spectacle frames that screws into the corkscrew for storage.

PS I came across my Rotring kit from when I was an auto designer. Just a common Isograph set and a well-made inking compass with various fittings, nothing like your granddad's bespoke set, but very pleasing tools to handle.
