After having these knives for a week or so, I realized that they are real workhorses, they have been put through several tasks and they have performed beautifully.
The tasks has been from opening boxes, cut 3 inch straps, cut a tomato, pry a box open, etc, the knives did loose some of the sharpness after all the work they did, the good news, is that after a couple of passes through the Sharpmaker they were scary sharp again.
Some persons ask me if I carry a knife for self defense, this is the most idiotic question ever.
A knife is a tool, if you need to defend your life with a knife that means it'll be a close combat, you'll have the person you are defending yourself at arms length, also knives fights are not like the movies, in which somebody gets cut, poked or stabbed and they keep fighting, with a sharp knife, the fight can be over in seconds and that takes me to the legal aspect.
Legal aspect:
If a person attacks you with out a weapon and you in all panic pull out a knife and defend yourself, surprise, you are the one that is going to jail, the law states that you can not defend yourself with a weapon if you are not being threatened by one.
With all that said, for self defense get some pepper spray, it's a good defense, you can spray about 10 feet, that'll give you enough time to get away, just make sure to have it with you, it doesn't do any good in your night table drawer!!
