We all have em.
I sometimes think the forum is in protectionist mode trying to preserve the value of their knives for later sale. Anyone up for a little honesty, offered in the spirit of peace and love?
So here's an opportunity to beef or brag a little. What's surprised you in a good or bad way?
I'll go first.
Don Nguyen petty was way too thick for a petty. Doorstop. Early work of his.
Delbert Ealy is too thick, has edge recurves, and the full damascus couldn't hold an edge.
Xerxes tip is too thin, and I think was overheated from grinding, leading to discolored steel and a snap.
Mac is undervalued as a whole package. There are better blades and cheaper beaters, but this damn thing can't be killed. And it's comfy. And it holds up to poly boards.
