I know these knives have already proven themselves, but I think they get put on the backburner by all the new stuff so they don't get talked about much.
Here is the knife on the review block (only in carbon steel)

I am very impressed by the quality of this knife. I would say the F+F is on par with alot of good knives in the $50-100 range. The No.8 I had was just as good so I guess that says something about there QC. It didn't come very sharp, but being made of good carbon steel, it took a scary edge in no time. I like the overall size and feel of the knife, I can get a decent four finger grip on it, and they packed alot of blade into the handle. Though I think I would like the size of the No.7 a little better.
The best part about this knife is how well is cuts. Compared to most of todays thick blades and obtuse edges, it is amazing. It just makes you look for something to cut.
They are easy to customize by carving, burning, or refinshing the handle any way you like. The Carbon steel they use takes a great patina very quickly, much faster than my Case knives in CV. They are VERY INEXPENSIVE at around $8 online and I found mine at a local knife shop for $11.99, at that price you can't afford not to ty one
BTW:these knives are very light weight, and someone told me they float although I have yet to test that.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
