I'm away from home again this week. My wife woke up on Monday all stuffy, sniffling, and sneezing. She eventually decided she should take an at-home COVID test. She thought we had packed a couple when we came to this rental cottage, but we searched everywhere and didn't find them. But I did discover more wood-handled knives that I didn't remember I had brought with me! (My wife sent me to the local pharmacy, but they had sold their last 2 COVID tests before I arrived. So I had to travel 60+ miles round trip to the nearest "big city" - Sault Ste. Marie - to find a pharmacy that had COVID tests in stock. My wife tested negative, so that's good!)

Two fine choices Gary, but even better news concerning your wife.

A Mr.Stone, very nice Kurt.👍🏻Do you find the pull a bit much? I had him put a nail nick in my last one to help out.

Hey Bob. The pull is up there. But I can pinch it. It’s a beefy knife. I enjoy his knife aesthetic as I am sure you do too. You have many 🤤. No pins showing and no nail nicks. I have a Sakman that has a strong pull and snaps like a gator when closing. My Steenkamps are about the same. Maybe it’s a S.A. thing. K’roo’s are lighter for sure though. My Stones came sharp but definitely benefited from an edge reprofile/sharpening. I didn’t measure the blade thickness at the edge but it laid back quite a bit at 18 degrees. One of the sharpest knives I have now.
