In the most recent issue of Blade magazine, several noted individuals in knifedom were asked what bugged them about knives. What about you collectors and enthusiasts? What do you hate about it, other than threads like these!!!
Here are a few of mine:
1. Not enough money to buy all the ones I want.
2. Steel snobs who complain about 420HC, AUS-6, 440A, who only carry knives for defensive purposes, you know..."just in case." But, they just may (on rare occasions) use their high-end supersteals to open an envelope.
3. Overpriced production knives. (Need I mention names?)
4. Knockoffs (Do yourself a favour and get the real thing.)
5. People who are willing to spend large sums of money on high-end knives designed to be used, but are scared to get a scratch on them.
6. Partially serrated blades. (They just get in the way when I need a plain edge.)
7. Stupid outlandish "macho-man" names given to knives just to boost someone's ego.
****Okay, maybe "what do you hate about the knife industry?" is too harsh a term. Let me rephrase it: What don't you like in the world of knives?***
