The gardening knife

I keep some aromatic herbs around, to add fresh taste when I cook...and this is my designated knife:

Fausto

Fausto, for harvesting, mincing or both?

current pocket knife,

usually i use Mora sloyd,but this is dedicated folder for small woodwork,strong clip point,sheepfoot and thinned spear point (i use all folders for whittling,good way to check steel and sharpness)

Opinel 8 and 10 in kitchen

Tidioute Jack 25 for cutting leather

camp knife

food knife outdoors

hiking knives,depends of mood

fishing knife

while sailing usually accompanied with Victorinox Spirit

one of compromises for having lots of knives at home is,everyone can use them(with due respect

)

For harvesting.
The small, thin (and sharp!) sheepsfoot blade works great for fine cuts when harvesting herbs (sage, mint, thyme, parsley, coriander and rosemary) without much collateral damage to the plants.
The clip blade sees almost no use (sometimes I use it as an awl when I'm sowing seeds in soft terrain

Fausto

Scagelike Camp knife and first left on bottom pic are made by croatian blacksmith Karlo Ban(steel 5200),on my specs.
bottom picture YP blades (made by Yrjö Puronvars while he was still forging,his nephew Antti Mäkinen is current smith,great blades :thumbup: )
silversteel blade marked JH is Lastu by Jukka Hankala(he marks his knives JHankala but just blades are marked JH,)
and last on right is silversteel blade made by Pekka Tuominen.
I fitted handles and made sheaths.
