For the past 5 or so years I have been having 5 guys over for an early Christmas dinner. These guys are great friends and help me deal with life all year long and I try to help them as well.
The dinner I put out and make myself is just as good as the knives we have fun with after dinner. Usually spaghetti and meatballs or a pork loin roast and the knives I have been getting are all different and cost about $25.00 each.
I of course get 7, one for myself to play along and one that they will never see and I keep in the safe ... ta have.
I wrap them up in Santy Clause paper.
Every one gets to pick one not knowing what's inside.
First guy opens his and can keep or trade his knife for another guys unopened
package. then that guy does the same and so forth until everyone has their knife. This is kind of fun too.
So I have been getting knives like Kershaw and Boker, Browning.
I have bought some Elk Ridge and Buck knives and Schrade too.
Last year I sandbagged on keeping a Boker Magnum Damascus model 788 which I thought looked well made and just felt it looked nice.
Another guy was thrilled with a Tree Brand Boker 2 blade folding knife.
I am writing for ideas about other brands like Colt and Hen and Rooster etc.
Any suggestions on better inexpensive knives?
I like to pick out classic designs without serrated blades.
I think I like Boker knives the best.
Here are the two I liked and so did everyone else.
