Curved blade, maybe edged on both sides?<BR/><BR/>I've seen some knives made with good steel that were so thick at the edge that, as you say, it took forever to get it down to a decent edge.<BR/><BR/>I'd heard it was bad in the Great White North for gun owners, didn't know it had gotten to that point.

She took me to her place-I announced I was gonna cook supper, and she had nothing there to cut with !?! I picked up a blade called a Jemiah, (something like that), manufactured in Yemen.<BR/>Very fine quality, very cheap, took forever to put a decent edge on it.<BR/> Up here in Canukistan, they make it so difficult and expensive to own a gun, that most people don't bother. Not to mention the fact that even if your gun is legal, the police will tell you that they are 'taking it back to the station to check the serial nos' and then you won't get it back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-1113309179106261882005-04-12T05:32:00.000-07:002005-04-12T05:32:00.000-07:00the perfect knife does the job it was intended to ...the perfect knife does the job it was intended to do, and does it well. I've got a lot of fine cutlery, and I've also got a lot of old crap, like my 8" chefs knife, which is a thin carbon steel blade that keeps an edge and cuts like blazes. I wouldn't trade that knife for a whole SET of wusthof-trident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
