    The TOPS Tibo is a cool knife. It's very much like the ESEE Izula (which everyone rightly loves), but it's a little thinner and thus slices better.

    Why, you!!! I oughtta . . . oh. Wait.


    Carry on. Nothing more to see here! Keep moving!

    A few weeks ago, I bought a brand new chainsaw, took the blade protector off, and promptly bumped into the chain which sliced my knee a little. I immediately thought, "good thing rhino doesn't like chainsaws."

    But How am I supposed to know which knives that you find cool?

    I was confused by that too! :scratch:

    I also don't know what knives other people have in their collection. :dunno:

    Maybe the Douk Douk knife, a traditional French slip joint design (Cold Steel made a copy of it).

    Quite a slim design, here on top of an Opinel knife:

    It's similar to the Japanese Higonokami (bellow), also maybe not very famous but really cool history and design.

    Speaking of draditional French design of course you have the Opinel and Laguiole.

    Laguiole, traditional sheperd's knife.

    The Laguiole now became a luxury knife.
    Each maker has a unique pattern handcrafted on the spine of the knife.
    They use fancy woods or horn for the handle, sometimes damascus steel for the blade.

    Most of the makers will make you a unique knife, right in front of your eyes, if you walk into their shop.
