I have decided to give one a try. My father has a no 8 and no12. I want one to carry in my pocket and the no 8 seemed a bit too large for my liking.
So I was thinking of either a no 6 0r no 7. It will be used for everyday cutting and the occasional fruit (apple).
Also I can't decide if I should get a beechwood Carbone or stainless in Olive/Walnut/bubinga. I like the wood options on the stainless and the fact that I don't have to worry about patina (can't decide if I like patina or not). On the other hand I like the Carbone because it should be a bit easier to sharpen and I can use it to experience patina on an inexpensive blade vs my expensive carbon blades.
Any suggestions (besides buy both cause their cheap)?
