Like most of you, a knife is a big part of my wardrobe, and I can't imagine leaveing the house without one. I have carried at one time or another, most good knives,,including case, queen, uncle henry, barlow, buck, schrade.....and now am carrying a eye brand from germany...it has really good steel, holds a edge better than anything I have owned. It too will one day disappear and I will have to go to what ever is in my safe at the moment.
