To each their own, you can buy a Blur with a stonewashed blade if that is your thingthe blur in 14c28n is quite a great value, but I would absolutely have to remove the unfortunate (racing?/zebra?/tribal?) paint job... I could maybe see the point if it was just high carbon steel, but this stuff is one of the most resistant steels out there
There's nothing wrong with that! I have lots of knives, and I'd have said "so what, I use them all"...This is a horrible thread. It's made me realise quite how many knives I have
...which is what I was thinking until I read this, thinking "well, he does that, but I don't". Except I realised I just have.(!!) In the last month I've bought four (count 'em: 4! [*]) knives I essentially have no real-world use for. Each of which is more expensive than any knife I've ever bought previously. And, believe me, I've spent decent money on kitchen knives - but always carefully selected, and never bought unless they were on special.and how weak I am blowing money on things I don't need or use.
A crystal white SAK huntsman or a San Ren My version of the Boker tech tool.
They get used daily.
They are legal to carry everywhere in the UK as 3 inch bladed slip-joints and the corkscrew means I can carry the spectacles screwdriver on either knife (I swap it back and forth)
Also various kitchen knives from stainless to carbon steel in various sizes and a Spyderco Resilience which gets used virtually every day for kitchen work.

Bought a Spydie Military a fortnight ago.
