    Find a nice buck knife, or a CRKT or kershaw since their warranties are good.

    I highly recommend getting a better steel knife. Some of my best knives I have to wipe down to prevent corrosion after getting wet.

    Yea.. at the end of the day, a knife is a tool and the tool has to be safe for the user.

    See my other comment on sharpening I can also do my best to answer any questions you might have. I'm no pro, but all my knives stay paper slicing, hair shaving sharp.

    Their other knives are also really good as well. A good victorinox chefs knife is one of the more versatile blades I've had. No problems chopping up a whole chicken, it goes right through the bone joint, blade holds up well. They're just a work horse of a knife.

    I love knives! My microtechs are my "fidget toys" as i call them. Flicking the blade open then closed is such a good machined feeling mechanism

    I got a cheap set of throwing knives years ago. I was fucking dreadful at it, tried a few different ways of throwing them. I'm not sure if I ever got a single one to stick.

    Maybe better tools and more practice could help me.

    Honestly the thing that gets me is the non locking. In many job sites here in the US you are not allowed a knife that DOES NOT have a lock for safety purposes. It's inherently more dangerous to the user to have a folding blade that isn't locked in position.

    Invest in some nice stones and master the motion by hand. Or get smething like this (https://a.co/d/cmk6xS7) For the by hand method, you can get angle guides that help out a lot. Like these...

    Honestly this episodes has me frustrated with how stupid the execution of this amnesia shit is done.

    I find it hard to pinpoint or put into words, but it feels like "oh of course it is" to me.
    I loved the first 2 episodes and thought 3 was pretty good.

    IDK, watching them make a shit plan and shit execution that devolves into people just walking around the set for no reason (because they cant remember what they were doing, right?!?)

    Incredibly frustrating to me

    My dads girlfriend tries to use my paring knife for general chopping / cutting in the kitchen whenever she comes over and it drives me up a wall. I have a (not large) chefs knife and a small/medium santoku from the same brand as the paring, I don't understand how those are worse to use for her. It's not like the handles are larger / too big for her hands or the blades are unwieldy.

    You can totally hold more than one knife at a time. Effectively? Maybe not. But I entirely get what you mean, get something you enjoy but don't go overboard.
