Thank-you, Murray Carter!

[singularity35]

What you're saying here is not reflected by what you have said previously, to me your posts are seething with arrogance (like you're under the impression that you're one of a kind, distinguished from all of us lowly folk:jerkit. Whatever, get one and you'll understand what the knife is about.

Wow! You got a whole personality profile of me from that huh?

If I pegged you wrong, I'm truly sorry.

Well, apologies somewhat accepted.

Love those hamons on Murray's knives. Good stuff!

they're lamination lines, which is also cool

That's a spectacular knife, congratulations!!! I'm going to have to check out his web site, I have his DVD, they are fun to watch!

Don't worry, there are a couple in line ahead of you that need to post a review!

Thanks, Paul. The review is on its way, promise. I got the memory card issue sorted out a few weeks ago, so I was able to salvage the pics to go along with it. That was the main hold-up... a review without pictures seems somewhat incomplete to me.

Somber, I honestly think you've misunderstood Singularity35's attitude and intentions with his posts in this thread. I can't speak for all his other posts that you refer to, but nothing he posted in this particular thread made me think he was trolling or the like. Of course, I could be wrong, as I'm currently battling a nasty flu and haven't been able to mentally process things effectively for the last week. Just sharing my perception. Thanks for stepping up and extolling the virtues of Murray's knives, though. Much appreciated.

And regarding what makes my Murray Carter neck knife so special compared to, say, a Bark River knife? Nothing. Nothing that matters to anybody but myself. I'm just jazzed about a new knife I've been jonesing over for a year. That's all. I love my Bark River Golok almost as much as my Carter necker. I think they'll make an outstanding combo for my camping and canoeing trips. I also think Carter knives are similar to Sebenzas in that they don't look like much (to some people), but once you use one you'll quickly understand what all the hubbub (and price) is about. Sure, there's a lot more to it, like others have so helpfully explained before me in this thread, but in the end it's just a cool knife I really dig. Simple.

Hey, I appreciate it that you think I'm not trolling. I just really wanted to understand. I just happened to pick one brand over another to compare because as I mentioned, I am absolutely clueless about this.

Sadly, Carters' do not have healing powers (except taking your mind off of being sick, maybe) but it'll help open up the orange juice container. Hope you feel better.
