Thank you.

I stay confused on this matter. I can afford whatever I wish to buy but try to be reasonable. A knife can do just so much and the handle really makes little difference to my way of thinking unless a person is set in their ways about one or the other. I try to be pliable when it comes to things like ...

As is mentioned, we all have our likes and dislikes. When it comes to buying anything, if there is a considerable price difference with little change in quality of the item purchased the decision is narrowed down to those who are adamant about quality above all and those who are adamant about saving...

Thanks to all. My wife asked why I would use my knife for our food and I told her it was some of you guys saying I was a wimp if I didn't.:-))

Thank you. I bet it costs a ton. Be a nice one.

What is the knife. Numbers and letters mean nothing to a newbie like me.

Thanks a million. I bookmarked that site but the cleaning and oiling will be easy to remember. Simple enough.

Yes, I like FRN myself. Thanks

No, I am just trying to decide on a knife that will be much different than the Delica 4.

The CF handle is worth $50 more to you?

Thank you. That is the way I would have thought but have to be sure. If I buy a ZDP blade I will have to use my Delica for food I guess or use mineral oil after drying thoroughly on ZDP.

I read of so many using their knives for cutting meat, slicing onions, whatever in contact with food and wonder how to clean mine to do that.

How do I get the discount coupon?

That has been the biggest drawback for me, the similarity. I wanted one to go with the Delica which was quite different and the Manix, Military, others came to mind but you can go nuts making decisions. I still have time and will mess with it more after supper.

Well, that is an interesting perspective. Thanks. I will probably end up with the Stretch since the blue ZDP fascinates me.

Yes, hard choices. Best to buy both. Manix is altogether different than my Delica and that is why I am thinking of it.

Thanks. I feel the same and am fixing to pull the plug on the FRN. Much cheaper and will suit me just as well.

You are right. It is my decision to make. Heck, I love them all:-))

I hope I don't get on everybody's nerves but I am down to the Stretch ZDP Blue for a very good price at Cutlery Shoppe and a Manix 2. I have a Delica 4 and am looking for something quite different and the FRN Stretch looks quite similar. Since will not buy any more at least for a while I plan on one...

Thank you. I like FRN myself but my experience is limited.
