I agree with the last two statements. Most probably don’t use their knives enough to quantify if they are better knives. It’s kind of ironic the industries that use knives constantly like butchers usually use inexpensive easily sharpened knives, while we knife addicts go for the high dollar knives that don’t really get used hard.
No different than those that try to squeeze the last little they can out of a group size..
Or lighten up their pack the last few ounces..
Or get the most of a heat treat or edge geometry.
It’s the journey, not the destination.
I don’t have any of Phil’s knives.
I like them. ESP the skinner pattern Journeyman posted above.
I follow a few on IG..
BBB ( big brown bear ) and Waterstone blades. Big Chris also.
They keep chasing the ultimate blade. Cool to see what they post…
