Wow, a bit thin.... *tosses over a bottle of witch hazel* Rub this into your skin, just not your face or anything... "sensitive".

It isn't that I don't like the question, it's been done to death. Check the archives- the answers haven't changed much in five years, and always ends up sounding like "my dog is bigger than your dog". Even my posts. The reason I gave those comparisons is because it is a personal selection- the only time I'd knock someone's choice in knife is if was scarily bad junk, a lady if I knew she wasn't what she seemed, or religion if they started showing up wearing a freshly severed gutted chicken as a watchcap and talking about killing everyone.

When someone says "ultimate", on a topic this variable, there is also a certain pattern- they are looking to prove their choice is the ONLY real choice and everyone else is wrong. My blades of choice are a Ka-Bar MkII, a LM Supertool, a couple of SAKs, and a ten dollar folding karambit. Each one has a role, and while I defend them all (except for the karambit- it's just a cardboard cutter and junky utility knife), I wouldn't tell anyone they are the ONLY choice out there. I did make an assumption based on how this has played out in the past, for that I apologize.

And by the way, as you are new, fair warning- I'm given to grand illustration. Chest beating over this, yes, but to the best of my knowledge, no one has broken a pool cue. Maybe a nail from overly energetic typing, or taking the spring out of a key, but that's it.
