So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

You can sharpen the cartridges on a piece of fabric. Have to experiment a bit to see which works best. The texture of some old cotton Columbia hiking shorts has been ideal. Maybe it doesn't result in like-new sharpness, but can make old cartridges passable for some time.
