Hi , my name is Kevin and I,m a knife-aholic . Worse than that . I like the sterno of knives Wiltshire never-sharp knives ! There are proabably 4 floating around my house right now . As a way to enable my own addiction I will state that I only paid full price for one of these plastic sheathed wonders and that was on special . The rest were picked up at fleamarkets for a quarter or so when the sheath broke or people just got tired of them .
No biggie . (says he, enabling again . ) I only wasted about 4 bucks all told .
Now the shameless producers of edgeless knives have come up with another gimmick to tempt me into buying eye candy ! They actually made a neat looking knife . Its from the infinity series .(paring knife size) Its a one piece all metal teardrop molded looking handle that seamlessly(yeah right!) flows down to become the blade . Same crappy soft stainless steel . The only way this steel sharpens so easily is cause its almost too soft to hold an edge !
Neato says I . If I don,t like it I can always make it into a thrower for those situations I am not sure I will get my knife back .
Shame , shame and ever deeper shame says you . Throwing good money away after bad .
It gets worse . Now there is a wiltshire infinity clone oyster knife .(Its up to you to decide if the knife is a clone or its only used on cloned oysters. L:O:L ) Same molded slightly teardropped handle with the perfectly sloped descent into a short cross between an ineffective paring knife and a short bladed oyster knife . Well says I, I,m not too likely to shuck too many oysters but I can always use another thrower !
Now I have promised myself I wouldn,t buy any more knives unless the Skean Dhu or a gift Khukuuri for a healer buddy of mine . I promised myself I wouldn,t buy any more knives until I made one myself . Thats in the works for spring , Stop me before I wilt again .
