    Thanks for that! The minister of finances says I have too many knives already!

    It's just another learning curve to master ��.

    Love this thread. Saved up and bought an Argali tent a year or so ago, and a Serac knife snuck in on the order. Couldn't afford it now, pricing has gone through the roof (think the States has a little inflation problem too). Wanted a knife with quality steel that would not require resharpening in the field. This has SV35N and have been able to process and bone out two reds in field comfortably. Use a Worksharp guided field sharpener, the shiz.

    My usual cooking knife, made from rail track, forged with some other materials unknown from a workshop. Listen to the sound of it, if I could had a same one in NZ, then I can cook those big paua more delicious.

    Picked up a few knives in a recent trip to Japan. Pretty cool be able to find ashi hamono off the shelf as they are basically impossible to find these days. Also hard not to pick up a higonokami when they are ony 20 bucks
