reti is def a knife to have, auntie says after the reti are gone there will not be any reti for many years, as they just got new files for the shop when they moved, and turned all the old steel into reti knives.-- this is why I was so obsessive about getting my baker's dozen of the reti-- so I am with gb, somebody better get that or I will. reti knife is part of history of HI more than most knives, as they probably helped to shape most of the knives that came out of HI for the past 10 years; there be magic here.
