Son, you may have to begin sleeping with one eye open...

(That'll teach me to try to give good advice to an Okie.)

Blues , if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have a RHK, CRK, and two Shiro’s.

Of course we’re eating the putty out of the windows, but still.

Well, when you up your membership to Gold, you'll be able to sell in the "Exchange", recoup some cash and be able to go back to oats.

(Trust me, I know the joy and pain of having way more knives than sanity would support. We like what we like. No need to apologize.)

 

[The Meat man]

The term "grail" is WAY overused.

Also, the ridiculous inanity of saying "murdery" or "murdered out" to describe knives that are slightly larger/pointier/blacker than normal.

 

[MBG]

Describing opening an auto/assisted knife as "Firing" it.

"Edge holding" shouldn't be such an overhyped factor. I totally get it that it's exciting to have a knife that just keeps on giving and giving and never even needed a strope... I have two or three of this kind and its always an amazement to see how they still don't need a walk to the sharpmaker. One is LC200N, another is Elmax and I believe the third may be AEB-L or 14C28N. Anyway... I can be quite vocal about these steels but in the end I loved the design, sprung for it and don't regret it one bit. Steel, yes, very important.... but not the most important feature ever. To each his own, though.

Ergos. Some kid on Reddit is raving about the ergos of a PM2 after he opens 2 envelopes and breaks down a box with it.

Some serious real world use there... Don't snicker, I'm going right now to put the biggest Old Hickory butcher knife to downsizing some carboard boxes. Oh, the thrill ! But I won't rave about the ergos, they are crap.

Given that I consider the straight Japanese handles of kitchen knives to be some of the most ergonomic ever designed, I often snicker at Spyderco's creations. But I value highly their creativity.

You think it's easy? Probably had to send the knife back to Golden for resharpening or replacement afterward.
