The good news is, after extensive searching, I have finally found the antidote to the infinite array of mil-spec "combat" knives, overpriced hunting knives, and impractical fantasy knives.
The only bad news is, it's made in France! The knives are by Opinel, and they are the only knives I have seen that remind me of the old-time lockblade my grandfather carried with him. I have been using them for a while now, and have found their carbon steel knives to have the best blades of any knife this side of a premium $300 hunting knife. They will take a RAZOR sharp edge. They cut through trough pig skin like it was butter. I can't wait to take them hunting. They do need to be oiled, of course.

The best part is the price. $20 and under.
