One boat guy I know likes round tip knives because if the boat moves around
while he's cutting something and he slips it won't stab him.
Come to think of it, why do knives have pointy tips?

I remain a fan of Seki City knives, and also a fan usefullness, or biggest

When Spyderco was selling out their Native Lightweight Generation 1 run for
$20/, I bought knives for me and everybody I know. And I liked this knife
I also have a Benchmade Mel Pardue axis lock, clipped to one of my

Don't they still have the standard buck knife that's looked the same for 50
years. Even has a rivendelish leather case that wears in nicely and you cut
your thumb till it dulls while flipping it open.

What's with the rounded tip knife? I don't get why the round tip makes it
kiddie safe. Seems more dangerous to me (as the Riv site alludes to -- it
looks like a spoon). In my experience, kids learn just fine to respect
something that's sharp when they are shown it with respect and see me

The opinels are great for sure. Tons of bang for the buck.
I have a couple other inexpensive knives that have proven surprisingly
hearty and get tons use. I've had several examples of both and all have
been found at thrift stores and garage sales but are readily available for
20-30 bucks.
I need a kitchen utility knife -- not for food, for heavy and dull-making
stuff like cutting open boxes, peeling the foil off liquor bottles, and
such; the old Victorinox has too small a blade, so I'll be interested to
see what the new stock looks like.
