Knives in A bodies

in 1968, when i worked at the dealership, 4-5 dollars would last all week and some on the weekend.
I must be old too. When i 1st started driving gas was 49 cents a gallon. Remember when it hit a dollar and the pumps never registered that high? Sold gas buy the litre.( had a,sign that said like a quart plus whatever oz.)
My Benchmade Claymore (auto)came today cost more than I made a week in mid 1970s
