The draw is the illusion that you are possessing something personal, yours alone.

Reality is that they are no advantage over a decent butcher's knife.



Added, don't get me wrong, I am a sucker for nice knives...but I do not lie to myself.


Good post. (Others do.)


I'll agree with this! Additionally, maintaining an edge versus re-sharpening an edge makes a huge difference in edge retention.
