I think I might have had one when I was a kid, around
6 or 7 years old.
It was a piece of junk.
One thing that blows me away is how cheap good knives are. A couple of times in my life I was a hair away from throwing down a pile of cash on an expensive custom blade with exotic materials... but one year I bought a Kershaw Ken Onion knife...think it only cost about $60 or $70... and the damn thing worked like a charm.
I think the big reason is better steel then in our youth along with state of the art machinery that have better tolerances.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right, Brian. Good steels are dirt cheap now too...
