The Boker Valkyrie - I almost bought it. It's very beautiful. But SO IMPRACTICAL. Blade is TOO THICK. Very hard to sharpen, bad slicer. No, I'm not going to buy it. I have too many THICK, overbuilt knives that are just useless. If I need to chop wood, I take my hatchet or my machete. I'm over THICK knives. Nowadays all I want is a thin, stainless steel knife, a carbon steel machete and a carbon steel axe. That's it. I don't need a sharpened pry bar, no matter how beautiful it looks.

The Valkyrie really needs to have a blade thickness of 4mm, no more than that. Can you do it? :thumbup:
 
The Boker Valkyrie is classified as a Bowie/Fighter/Hollywood knife. In other words, it's for collectors and mean't to be displayed next to your "Rambo First Blood" knife. Practical heft and blade thickness is irrelevant in this case.
