immiketoo Report post Posted January 11, 2017 I'm a big fan of round knives and they are one of the most used tools I have. That said, I bought a few of them from different manufacturers. My main cutting knife is a Knipshield french model. I'm not the kind of guy who wants to go spend 300 or 400 dollars on the tools to make a knife that I can buy from a professional for 250, so for me the math is easy. Kudos to those of you who can make their own knife. I have a LW as well, and I love it. Great skiver. I have an old Gomph too. Sharp. Hard as hens teeth. They each serve their purpose, and you can't really go wrong with any of them. Just keep your off hand behind the blade at all times! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
