Lots of posts with knife talk lately,it got me thinking about how people view their knives and what we expect from them,how much is hype or the latest and greatest etc, so when does a knife stop being a "tool" and start being something else. For the sake of argument I could make the sweeping statement that a buck 110 is as good a knife as you need. (Now I do not feel this way at all but its a place to start).
I picked the B110 for the following criteria -
3 Inch plus blade
lockback (locking blade)
Strong enough for self defense
Can be sharpened to a decent edge. (cut hanging paper)
Do we need Damascus blades with American flag patterns forged in and narwhal tusk ivory scales and gold chased engraving?
Do we need aus steel that is cryogenic treated?
So thats the question- at what point does form follow function ?
Whats the price point? What steel? what scales?
So what do you think ? WHY?
