So a client of mine was complaining to my wife who sub-contracts for her that she couldn't find a knife sharpener in town to do her knives. What does my wife tell her... you guessed it. My husband can sharpen anything!
Brothers - what was I going to tell my client when the cow brought me her 5 kitchen knives who also wanted the knives back the next day? "No problem - my pleasure", is what I said out-loud. lol - Sigh.
They were all so dull that my lowest grit stone wouldn't even entertain the things! But that's another story - I got em done.
The next day I taught her how to utilize a steel to maintain the blades, smiled, and again repeated no problem to her thanks. Anyway - she was so pleased and knowing I loved knives, a week later she bought me one as a thank you and gave it to me.
It's a big fat, nothing special steal $33.00 Kershaw with a dang serrated blade no less. I expressed my overwhelming gratitude and threw it in my pocket.
You know what!? I hate the knife but it really fits my hand. Moreover, you can choke up on the thing. The dang assist is a blast to play with - and it came sharp! I am actually enjoying the thing. I would probably never buy this thing myself but man I got to tell you... for $33.00USD, what a blast!!Last edited by earcutter; 10-16-2014 at 01:44 AM.

Ain't nothing wrong with a Kershaw.
Long as it cuts and fits your hand it'll do it's job. Plus, you won't cry if you gotta pitch it in the river some day.

It will serve the purpose of an EDC just fine,,, I don't care for the serrations either, but it was a gift from a well meaning person.
My EDC is a Kershaw Blurr, my back-up EDC is an Opinel,,, both are carried everyday. The Opinel is so light that you forget its there.
I believe I have posted photos of each prior.earcutter likes this.

I live In the UK, so my every day knife is generally a friction folder. Here are some that I carry regularly.
