Knives..what are your favorites?

It saves the wear and tear on my crosscuts and chainsaws plus its better for the environment!  Its so sharp, all I have to do is point it at a tree and it falls down into split, dry 16" pieces.      I've got to get cracking on the woodpile, we're supposed to have a killing frost Wednesday and I have about 2/3 of my wood split.  I burn about 6-8 full cords a winter. 

I actually did chop through a 2 X 4 with it.  Still shaved after I was done.

A killing frost on Weds?? Seriously? It's only about 105 today and yesterday we tied the 1980 record for the most 100+ degree days in a year. Today we break it. Now what were you saying about this thing called a frost and a wood pile?

[WarrenJ]

I'll take the frost and woodpile anytime over 100+ weather - we actually had a couple days in the 100's here.  102 in the summer and -25 in the winter  - and they call it the temperate zone.

Got an email about this and thought I'd throw it in the knife thread:

I'd like to look at one of those Kershaw Rake folders as an EDC knife.  The pictures are pretty but handling them tells more of the story.

A little hunter I just finished  Forged from 1080, clay differential heat treated with Bocote handle and brass pins.  Its a sharp little bugger - It bit me pretty good while I was polishing it.

Reminds me of that great/funny Crocodile Dundee line! "That ain't no knife! Now, this is a knife!"

Hi people's,

Looking for advice, never bought a folding knife before.  I'm looking for a really nice quality folding knife that looks like the kind your Grandad would have had, something that looks kinda old, classy but great quality and holds a really good edge.

I've checked though most of the links on this thread and found loads of really nice tacticals but nothing that fits the above description, any ideas?

Thanks
