It's funny that u guys talk about knives biting. My family has a running joke that a knife isn't really yours until it cuts you. I've actually given a knife to my brother cause it bit him before it bit me.

back when the k.i.s.s knives first came out i got one for my dad and one for my uncle, a day later my uncle went to use his to cut something and sliced his thumb pad wide open after opening it upside down and putting his thumb on the blade when he went to use it, so we joked about the whole "now its yours it drew blood" thing lol

Over 30,000 knives, and sooooo many are unavailable. But I found it! Please don't send me this knife if this won some type of contest, no one wants a brown Byrd Meadowlark, haha.

Jared Oeser beautiful knives. I considered a Benchmade Proper a year or so ago, but didn't like it, being a more traditional knife user. I still Often carry my 1940's vintage Schrade Walden carpenter. Instead of the Proper I went with the Benchmade Emissary 3.5" which I love, but can only carry when hunting and/or fishing. Last summer I picked up a Lionsteel Roundhead M390 with carbon fiber scales, another classic modern traditional.Blade HQ doesn't carry.... I have a few Queen Cutlery Ross Oar Carvers that are getting scarce as hen's teeth.I tried a small Case Whittler with CV steel. Doesn't cut it for woodcarving. Th best is still the Henckels Congress with 4 blades or even the 6 blade version. Great steel. I grew up with carbon steel blades (Case and Schrade) in up until the mid 70's and have often been disappointed with stainless until I tried a Benchmade mini griptillian 154CM and over a decade ago I picked up the SOG Vulcan with VG10, for the time a pretty good steel. Not sure I would pick up another modern traditional unless it was designed for woodcarving.
