I will avoid mentioning what I have never been interested in (serrations : one try, never again / black blades / recurves / compound grinds... well, the list is long). Never mind. One thing I have really wrote off is thick blades / scandi grinds / sabre grinds (unless applied on very thin blades, doesn't happen often...). I have a lot, liked them at some point, and just threw them in a drawer.... And consequently, quite sneakingly, I have drifted away from production knives, not entirely, but still. I use to sift through Blade Forums' Knife Makers' Market and there I find a feast for my eyes and sometimes I just can't resist. There lies the thrill. Let's just say I'm spoiled and got picky ! And happily so.
