Edge is very important. I would take a wicked sharp user any day over a super expensive dull custom.....
 
Definately Option 2. For me a knife is all about utility, and if it is useful and tough and looks the part thats beautiful in and of itself.

I would rather have user grade at a lower price. If I had a work of art, I would be scared to use it. I am not saying I want a piece of junk, but in my opinion, your worst work is still leaps and bounds above most folks best work. Thanks Dan.

How about quality work at a fair price.
 
Option 2 for me ' User-grade at a lower price ' if it gets the job done does it really matter if it looks a little rough around the edges ?
You can't skimp on the steel and heat treat but everything else is optional !
 
User grade for me, there are so many makers doing hi end stuff thats too expensive to use as a hard user. but it wouldn't mean that i would except sloppy fit and finish so a balance is needed.
 
even my most expensive knife gets used. I like users with good ergonomics at a better price point, over more expensive longer wait. I am not saying that I don't appreciate knives simply for looks and collector appeal, but I buy knives I am going to use.
 
Tough question.......... really ...... :confused:
I went with "user grade" though ....... :thumbup: :D
 
User grade for me, a knife should do what its meant to do first and everything else is secondary,

so this worked in another thread, so i will try this here.

it has been a LONG time sense you posted in this thread Dan! When oh when will you pick the winner?!
 
I voted higher quality. I'm prepared to pay more for that, especially for nice handle materials.

Regards,

Jos
 
I would vote function over form any day. Use good materials, put a nice grind on it and make it a "Working Knife". That's my vote.
