I find the best thing about a knife is to always have it razor sharp, because you never know when you will need it.
As for Sal's comment about the best knife being the one that is there when you need it. I have been reading a book about General Crook and the Apaches in Arizona back in 1868 or so. One fellow had an Apache lasso get tossed over him -- but was able to quickly get his knife in hand and cut the line. Now that is having a knife when you need it! There is nothing like real history written by the people who lived it.

Re: The best thing about a knife is ...
Well ....if you have to ask.....look at the quotes...it is barely veiled racism. History has many sides. People who write get to write their history. Peoples who talk get to engage in their history.Sumdumguy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 3:27 pmNothing like a good genocide to get the blood flowing...jdw wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 12:03 pmWe appreciate the genocide.Tucson Tom wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 11:21 pmNo, I ain't never done no stropin'TkoK83Spy wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 10:36 pmTom, do you ever use a strop or UF stone?

No matter how rough the night before was........your knife always makes sure you leave the house the next morning with your pants / shorts on! :D

Re: The best thing about a knife is ...
What are you even talking about jdw? For goodness sake, all he did was relate an interesting tidbit of history about how a guy saved his life with a knife. That's it.
There's no hate here, subtle or otherwise.

Nobody was racist. You clearly only saw what you wanted to see and that says more about you than them. Bullying people into erasing and censoring history is something that terrible regimes are known for doing and is a gigantic step backwards for humanity.

The best thing about knives is that you'll never have enough of them.
The worst thing for any knife is sitting in a drawer/safe, catching dust :D

This! There are a lot of sharp things that you can use to cut stuff, but they're worthless if you can't hold them!

You got it, Also funny how many people buy a knife by handle colour and go crazy over certain colours when the same model has been there in black for yearsPayneTrain wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 6:02 amThis!

I think the Shaman is the signature knife for this statement. Amazing how the standard version went pretty much unnoticed until the exclusives/sprints started to come out. (I'm guilty too though I guess, since I never got one until the 4V and CruCarta were released) :p

Aside from what everyone else has said,
The best thing about a knife is the sound some of them make upon opening. Also best others have is the silence upon deploying.
Differing tools for different situations.

The look in people's eyes when you flick it open to cut something they were struggling;ing with.
Some people look in fear, some people look in admiration. And then you recognize the knife nuts who look at your blade and you can see them analyzing it's sharpness and style.
