    Buck Zipper. 20 odd years old and holds a great edge and only very in-occasional sharpening

    I like BRK knives in classic hunting format

    Gunny Hunter

    Blade steel and fit in hand is important to me. If it don’t work, it don’t work.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    the wife has one of those gerbers, its light, its comfortable but its edge holding is downright awful. made in china though. apparently the usa made ones are still pretty good

    How much do you want to spend?

    Purely function? Want something a bit nicer to look at also?
