Thomas,
Your last post gave me a good laugh.
I have had full beards off and on ever since I was sixteen. I have had my present beard since 1992. Therefore, "shaving sharp" is not all that important to me.
I am not a knife collector. i can easily count the knives I have purchased over my lifetime on my fingers. The latest two are both Moraknives. They are probably the two most basic knives Mora makes, numbers one and two wooden handle O1 simple knives. I think they are marvelous. They are well made and have the look and feel of real world tools. The blades seem sized to work, not to impress. I do not think of them as cheap. I think of them as nice knives at a bargain price.
I like your term "deskhunter". Unfortunately, that tribe is not limited to knives. That's why we have shiny polished sets of chisels with radiused backs instead of dead flat. That's also why we have shiny squares and levels which are not true. The problem is neither urban nor rural; it is overzealous marketing.
This is an interesting conversation.
Ken
