I really like it. Okay a Dremel is far quicker and easier to use but you're really comparing apples with oranges. I don't find the larger hook knife very useful because it doesn't stick out far enough from the handle but the smaller one is great, along with the wharncliffe blade. Pair it with a...

Weirdly, one of the nicest knives I've used is the Boker Tech Tool 1 but I wouldn't call it an upgrade over the OP's Moras. More broadly I find SAKs very capable, it's just that the TT1 has a hollow ground blade and no other tools to get in the way.

Sounds like a non zero chance of decapitation at home though!

When it was new it was a bit stiff to open but ran in with use and lube. Other than that I have no complaints at all.

The TBS Badger has been in my pocket every day for over 3 years now. It's a thicker blade than traditional slipjoints, SAKs or Opinels but they got the grind just right in my opinion so it cuts beautifully. The handle is the most comfortable I have on a slipjoint.

I agree with the general concept of "big ol' chopper and a little fella" be that leuku & puuko or whatever. Ideally I'd add a third for cutting food but I'll wait for that thread to appear before ellaborating :p

Ti isn't particularly hard. Polishing certainly makes a difference. I think initially I was concerned that the matte finish is harder to clean and might harbour bacteria - especially in sub optimal washing conditions while camping etc. The final straw was the way tea and coffee stains stuck to...

I ended up polishing some of my Ti stuff with Autosol! The long handled spoon is my favourite spoon ever.

Bark River's terrible customer service is well documented. It seems they could and did produce decent knives at times but it was always hit and miss. Glad I never touched them.

I finished the Dune prequels last week which were okay but... I'm about halfway through the original Dune now and the writing is in another league.

I can't remember who made them but I recall a beef and mustard flavour. I love mustard and wasabi or any other spice that'll blow my socks off.

One of my first knives was a Puma with torx screws and most of them fell out! Spyderco obviously decided "not on my watch!"

I think after experiencing nice, thick, rounded handle scales on other knives, the blocky slabs on most Spydercos feel starkly inferior. That said, how often do you use a knife for more than a minute? In which case that level of comfort isn't a huge issue. I have a Resilience and it's been...

What kind of land is it? Are we talking open fields that could be cultivated or lumpy bumpy heathland? Why is there no cover? Has it been picked bare by sheep or deer for example?

I'm torn between not falling into Gell-Mann amnesia and not throwing the baby out with the bath water. There has to be some allowance for inaccuracy /bias.
