Sorry man, that isnt twisting words. You did call them paring knives. A story that lack continuity and consistency will usually be questioned. We are very much a detail oriented bunch of knife knuts. You also stated a cheap fillet knife. Now it seems there is more than one.

It's a pack of three. I'm really sorry for misleading all of you, I just made an honest mistake. I like knives, but I'm not a complete nut, and thus don't know nearly as much as a lot of you people on this forum. That's why I come here - to learn, not to be constantly criticized on my bad story telling. Thanks.

Wait...so you're telling me that Bill woke up from his coma and nobody told him Lacy married another man?? Find out next week on Days of our Knives!

The early Secret Santa thing will be an important plot point later, possibly in another thread.

Although to be fair my grandmother starts her shopping in July, but she has umpteen grandkids and great grandkids to buy for, so she needs to.

That's certainly possible but not necessarily true.

Case uses "surgical stainless steel" and they are in general excellent middle of the road knives (and when I was a kid, considered fairly high quality by the men in my family).

So there are all different types of "surgical stainless"? Because I was under the impression that that was the lowest of quality in steels.

But this thread is the best ever if you look at it as part of a series. I read pretty much the whole previous thread last night, which helps (good advice there by the way). It was a fun read and now we're already getting the sequel.

Secret Santa in July
Wal-Mart filet knives
Re-gifting a Tenacious
Possibly Duracoating said Tenacious

Will they, won't they, what will happen next? This is great stuff.

But seriously, not having much experience with filet knives despite my love of fish (I use a Mora), $60 does not seem like a cheap, breakable filet knife. I would assume it's probably a decent one, Wal-Mart or no.

OP: I don't usually poke fun but I couldn't resist this time.

I was young when I got into knives too. I started out on "the other knife forum" asking some naive questions, ticked a few people off. My parents were always cool with my interest in knives, but I had other problems too. They didn't let me watch movies where ladies showed lady parts. It was pretty annoying. But, trying to go behind their backs to view lady parts was not appreciated by them, for some reason.

I love knives, but if my mum was going on about how big a disappointment I was, the way yours was, it wouldn't be worth scarring that relationship when I'd be able to purchase what I want in a few years. I don't necessarily fully agree with her stance, but I don't have to, because she's a parent.

hahahaha this is hilarious.

but c'mon guys give the kid a break, guide him not torment him. He obviously want to be a knife nut also but his road is a little more rocky in the beginning.. & truthfully had I known about BF at 15 I'd been on here too as most of you would also.

and kid, don't lie, be respectful, read and think before talking non-sense.

Okay, so it was 3 filet knives for $60? Then they might be cheaper than I thought, I didn't know that at the start.

But still "surgical stainless steel" isn't quite the same as "mystery steel", at least most of the time.

Yeah, I have 18 cousins, 12 aunts and uncles, 4 grandparents, a brother, sister, mother and father, and we all buy gifts for each other, so we tend to start buying really early.

Okay. And yeah it was a small, medium, and large filet knife with a plastic handle and "surgical stainless".

I was kinda like this once minus the slightly overreacting parent, I just don't like to see someone make some of the mistakes I made when I'm so much wiser and full of sage advice now and have the ultimate power to save them from themselves. ;)

I guess it depends. I'm not really a filet knife expert, I use a regular Mora (although I think Mora makes filet knives as well) for my fish needs.

But I still don't really see that knife breaking after a few days if he's using it for various boating activities, plus fish are very light-skinned game.

Not saying it was the best choice, but it'll work fine.

I know exactly what you mean. I mean c'mon we've all be there before right? hahah it's for sure funny. Just sometimes people want to keep talking and not enough listening.

BTW my mother would some of next years Christmas gifts before new years even passed. crazy right? it was funny because we usually had various wrapped gifts around the house in a corner here or there just acting as a sort of decoration all year

Yeah, I'm just looking to learn, as I like knives, but don't really know much about them yet. And really the only lie I told was when I put my birthday in my profile as 1985 or whatever, but to me, why should I give out my birthday to random strangers on the internet. Thanks though, man, I'm just looking for guidance in the knife world

Lol ha thanks RedLynx. I'm just here to learn.
 
Schakalicious said:
I am honest. I did not purposefully go behind their back, I just had a lapse in judgement and did something stupid. They have since forgiven me. It was completely my fault on the cursing, and have learned my lesson, and have since not cursed at all. And honestly, why should I put my real birthday on the internet? And to be blatantly honest it isn't any of your business when my birthday is.

So this sounds like being honest:

Schakalicious said:
Lol yeah I'm fifteen, I just put my age as older just in case there were age restrictions haha

Kid, you say it right there. You are lying about your age to try and get around perceived age restrictions. What part of lying do you not understand? And honestly, it is everyone's business what your birthday is when you claim to be honest but lie about it. And just to clarify, I don't believe you need to list your birthday. At least for me, it does not make me list my birthday. So if you don't want people to know, just don't list it.

You aren't helping yourself out here. You got the answer to your question. Stop posting and read more. Think about what your are doing. The search function often times can be used to answer any question you might have.
 
I was going to mention a mora, but also his comment about his uncle leaving the blade in fish guts made me think that he might not be the best at caring for them so I mentioned the Spyderco ARK. Can't go wrong with it unless he wants bigger considering it's the same price or around the same price as your fillet or paring knife whichever you call it.. lol

How do you know we don't do a huge Secret Santa exchange on here? :D

He was told to do this multiple times over in another thread that went the same way. He has not learned. Time to take a break and reconsider what you want to be here.
