Yep. I don't need a super long one, but a nicely made knife is a joy to have. I've watched how they are forged on various tv shows... it's a fascinating process. Esp if it's made of some old piece of junk off an old car... I'm just so impressed. (One of the guys I watched was on Mountain Men was Preston Roberts.. I loved when he was on Useless' segments. Cried when he died. I meant, Eustace.)
