I'd have to agree with the re-handled Old Hickory blade. I have a number of those blades in the kitchen, as well as a few at camp. They're decent blades that I seek out at local garage sales and estate sales. I clean them up and sell them with old cast iron cookware that I re-season and sell.

I've got a couple that I need to re-handle. Prior owners loved the convenience of the dishwasher over the few moments it takes to properly wash and oil a carbon steel blade.
