Good article. I burned up my knife budget already for this year or I'd be very tempted.

It has a sharp edge; it has a sturdy handle - mission accomplished! My grandfather had about twenty just like it.

Now if you could just keep from losing it.... I'll bet many more knives go out of service as a result of loss rather than breakage.

Like the Buck 110 I found in the Mazatzal Mountains (AZ) in 1983. Did anyone here lose it?

It seems to me the perfect knife is sharp and
1. have a backup
2. is on a lanyard.

Two is one and one is none. Redundancy in critical supplies.

one is none.

bad math and poor logic do not make for good planning.
