Post by: Stein on March 23, 2018, 07:40:29 AM: Guess I miss the cool factor on blades. I'm pretty sure my multi-tool was the most expensive blade of any type I have ever bought. I seem to be spending less over time, I now carry a Gerber Dime and the replaceable blade hunting knives.

I love good steel in a blade, but I am "afraid" to carry a custom/expensive one in the field lest I lose it or break it somehow. My favorite knife for the past 30 years has been a small lock blade folding Buck with steel so hard I've never needed to sharpen it when field dressing and/or skinning animals up to moose size. I'm on my third iteration of it, having left the original on a gravel bar after gutting a salmon, and having broken the tip on another while dissecting an elk. I have a custom Rainshadow in the kitchen that I love. :)
