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.




S30V from Benchmade and Buck don’t hold a candle to an S30V blade from Ingram or May. The Ingram/May will take and hold an edge significantly better and are no more difficult to sharpen when they’ve been used.


Just not true. No flies on anything made by Gene or Charlie, but Buck and Benchmade kinda know what they are doing.
