I like that Boattale. Very nice.
The Kephart is the same steel but with a different grind (flat) and thinner blade profile. I'd never try anything like that with it. I'm 100% certain though, that it will stand up to the very normal use that I give knives and stay sharp for a long long time. The factory edge is 20 degrees per side which to me should be pretty stable. I sharpen most of my knives to 15 degrees per side and get along well with it.Man, I felt sorry for the concrete block! Can you imagine someone hacking on you like that!
This one.
Here is an interesting one. It’s a Spyderco Meerkat, which according to Sal at Spyderco, won’t be made any longer. It has a Phantom Lock, which you operate by sliding the scales to unlock the back lock.

Not a knife but it is a bladed tool; got a CRK&T Berserker Viking Axe!

I'm from Scandinavian stock and love Viking weapons, stories and mythology. Though I am in my early 50's, I've always been an axe man due to my love of Tolkien and the world he created.
It did not come sharp but it did get an edge without much fuss. It has excellent balance and is about 2lbs. Steel is 1055 hc, handle is hickory. I found this in a Cabelas for $60.
Carothers knives are very well regarded on another knife site I frequent.
Apparently the molds are shot so they won’t ever do a run again. Bento Box still has some but they are pricey!Already discontinued and unavailable most places (one on evil-bay).
Thank you kind sir. I can feel that there is a small burr on one side. I’m going to whittle with it for a bit until it loses its sharpness and then I’m going to sharpen it back upI like that knife steadyd.
