I'd love to see the Hungarian "lightweight" also get some traction.

I thought some might find this amusing. Look at how tiny the Astute is next to the Tenacious. And yet the Tenacious has about 1/2" more blade.

The Ambitious' bulk really shows here. I've always like the Ambitious proportions but it's quite chunky. I'm not sure why they only shrunk the length rather than the blade height as well. But that's the charm of the Ambitious.

Two very different knives.

Dang, I've never noticed how aggressive the fully serrated edge was on the Tenacious. Looks like a real beaver and I just might have to give it a try.

I was thinking long and hard about what could be the most non-realistic steel upgrade to Astute. I think I got it now.
