While I can certainly appreciate the artistic expression and craftsmanship on some of the knives posted on this forum, I am more the fan of usable, utilitarian knives.

Therefore, I LOVE the knives in this thread. No nonsense, utilitarian, working knives. I love natural wood...it has warmth and soul. While synthetics are perhaps more practical in real working knives, I just prefer wood. I like these knives a lot. Each seems to be well thought out and made to use in real-world circumstance. These are the type knives that attract me and I really appreciate the workmanship and practical designs.
