A good craftsman takes care of his tools.
But the point is, he isn't afraid to use his tools.
The original quote was about dandies afraid to bloody their swords.
This thread wasn't about not taking care of gear. It was about not being so obsessive about it that you won't actually, you know, use it.
Then again, the thread was hijacked quite a while back, so people probably forgot the original point being made.
