Speaking of perfection[emoji23] These 2 are the last ones standing. I have decided less is more. They are the best I have ever handled. Jerry Halfrich and Tom Ploppert make flawless traditional patterns.

Beautiful knives, lads…

And here comes the urge to buy a new Spydie again...

That bolsterless Halfrich brings a tear to my eye.

It is the most epic piece I have ever handled and I just heard back from Jerry regarding the history of the knife. He said it is was a special order from a customer and it is a one off “one of a kind”

My everyday carry for the last year or so and possibly my favorite pocket knife ever…Cold Steel Code 4

I’m thinking about getting Drew to make us a custom chef’s knife. He’s been a chef in SF for the past 20 years and then pursued his passion of knife making. I’m really into the craftsman and attention to detail. He’s been working some serious Damascus and triple layer. I just love the look and design of his kitchen knives. Super functional and stunning.

I love knives (kitchen) and have bloody loads of them, including some lovely Japanese Damascus blades, but my culinary hero, Anthony Bourdain, says you only need 1 (well 2 if you need a serrated one)…...Must try harder....

I'm looking for a good 10" chef's knife. I actually met Bob Kramer a few times (he used to live in Seattle, maybe still does), but his knives are now unobtainium…

I collect knives (and swords…) Here are some pics of some of my knives:

I don't have a good chef's knife though....

Those Wrights are beautiful…

I'm impressed by your Don Foggs. Is he still around?

We've been using our Ken Onion Shun for 7 ish years, been holding up great. We're pretty abusive with it too.

@Seul:

They are indeed. Did you see the pic where the knife is disassembled? The guy is a mad genius.

@DougNg:

Don Fogg is my favorite maker and I am lucky to have a number of his pieces. He is retired. He posts on Facebook from time to time. He appears to be well. I haven't spoken with him recently.

I use mostly a Kramer-designed (but not custom) knife in 52100 carbon steel. I'd like a custom though. There is a guy close to me who makes beautiful pieces but they're beyond my price range for a user knife. Check him out: https://www.maumasifirearts.com
