Pit you guessed it....I promised the wife the next knife purchase would be the last one for a while so I got to make it a good one.
I know exactly what you mean mate, mine has said the same. They don't understand the decisions we have to make eh ?
I thought I had found my perfect one with my Spyderco Temperance...perfect blade design, cuts like a charm, VG10 steel and then I found out it had a partial tang....yeah I know it should never break but it's that nagging WHAT IF ?
Then I got a Street Scrapper 4...perfect, INFI steel,what could be better....but then I thought a 4" blade is just a tad too short for my main knife and then they shot up in value so that decided it a safe queen it was to be !
My NRA Snody , I love it but I have said it before, I cannot trust a stainless blade 100%....yeah I know a lot will shoot me down in flames for saying that but it's that nagging WHAT IF again !
My Blackjack Grunt...yet again Stainless and like you said maybe a little large !
My Ka-Bar D2....the only WHAT IF with this is that the end of the blade has a false edge on top and this destroys your batton when battoning !!!
So where do I stand now ? Well my wife has a Scrapyard Dumpster Mutt put away for my birthday in May and I think I have finally found my perfect blade....tough if I haven't cos I won't be getting anymore for a while !!! It ticks all of my boxes though 5" blade,High Carbon steel,10" overall length, Kydex sheath by Leatherface and a lifetime warranty !!!
Best of luck stopping your WHAT IF'S mate !!!
