Oh, oh ohohohoh….
Wow. Beautiful knives. The trouble is that I just don’t have $2400 to spend. If I had it, it would be a tough decision indeed.
Arctic Edge is it’s name and it just radiates cold. Brrrrrr, I still want one.
Where’s that pack of grizzly bears I need to kill to get one of these? This is a Damascus folding knife. And oh how it is a knife.
A little variety never killed anyone. It’d be fun to test the theory – let’s see if giving me one will kill me!.
I think it goes w/o saying that I probably won’t be buying one anytime soon, but it’s fun to look.

Post Update:
I have heard about this phenomenon before. They call themselves “Freegans” but growing up we called them bums. Amazing Weight Loss Potential Here!
YOU JUST CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP. REALLY!
Really, if you are into eating garbage, and you actually have the means to do better, does this prove some form of sainthood? I mean, if you are doing it for yourself, that is one thing. If you are doing it to “make a point” and garner attention, well, there you’re just being an asshole, and I’m sure a lot of starving people around the world would agree because if they had the chance, you can bet they wouldn’t be eating out of someone’s roadside Rubbermaid™. It’s a special kind of asshole, but by golly, dare to be different!
Those are some very pretty knives! Ahh, the stuff I could and would buy if I was uber-rich. So, you really like those tanto blades eh? I always find them difficult to sharpen without rounding that tip off.
Freegans are true believers in communism. Also known as “useful idiots” to people like Clinton and Obama.
I usually treat the tanto as if it were two blades in one for sharpening, and then gently fair it at the end where the two come together if it looks ugly. Either that or be humble enough to take it to someone who has the right equipment and know-how to make it scary-sharp for a few bucks. I certainly pay someone to sharpen my Wusthoff chef’s knife.
Freegans – useful idiots, fifth column, human silly putty.
As to rich… I like this one: “Please God, let me prove to you that winning the lottery won’t spoil me.”
Yah double the sharpening tasks, but still one blade.
Anywhoodledoodle – you’ve been mimi tagged of course.
Oh, and about knives – here’s one I really want: Dam Laguiole. This was the site where Stoaty bought hers from, not that other one she linked. They haven’t updated thier prices though. I’m sure it’s actually a bit more than that now.
Ah, you have to hit the “Welcome” spot first to get to the english side.
Ya, I was going through their site, just slumming around and it was a few minutes before I realized “Hey, I can’t read a lick of french!” Catlike reflexes there, eh?
Nice knives and their website has a lot going for it, pretty snazzy.
By tomorrow I should have my epitaph… errrr… memoir written. I gotta update the Puncture Chronicles tonight while it is still fresh.
