@ Devonian
Excellent, thanks for the tip
Knife would be for general use at home I should think. I was thinking he may want to use it for dealing with meat/fish, as it has a serrated edge I thought it might be useful around the garden (it's a big garden
)
It looked like a useful multi purpose knife that was good quality. He does have knives for specific purposes, but I thought that as an all rounder, handy to have on him at home it would be good to have. It's not cheap and not something he would say, ooo, look, only 80 quid, I'll have one. I suppose the real question is would you be pleased to have it if your OH bought it for you. Or would you think, shame, if only she'd spoken to me first, what I really would like is a buck thingymajig
I have bought him opinel in the past (see previous post) and he liked the blades. In fact he's stolen one of my kitchen opinel (sorry love, it was just right for the job, you can have it back.......if you want it...........) and I've had to replace it!
Seven inch blade isn't too cumbersome or too small I think. Although a number of his home knives are longer, I thought this would be a nice 'inbetween' fit - as long as the blade is good quality. Which it appears to be
Sorry I'm rambling. I'm going to stop now
@Eddie enzyme. The esee 4 looks lovely, but we have a number of similar knives (not in the same quality bracket
). The blade length can be limiting which is one of the main reasons I like the 7" kabar
Didn't realise it was a coated blade tho. Does this impact when the blade is sharpened?
Good luck with whatever you go with.
