Anybody Got a Knife?

If my grandfather was around that question was always answered with, "right here." I'll never forget how he used to always carry a pocket knife. He was an outdoorsman for sure, but the need for a knife didn't stop at the outdoors. As a kid I wasn't allowed to carry a knife, but whenever he would visit it seemed that everyday life just required that you had a knife. Not just any kind of a knife. A high quality one that was super sharp. Whenever he would come over he would always take my mom's kitchen knives and sharpen them with a whetstone. She seemed to be cutting herself for the next week complaining about how sharp they were. I've looked around trying to find some knives that would live up to his high standards. I think I finally found a site that seems to capture the spirit of the everyday outdoorsman who like my grandfather always has a knife in his pocket. http://www.thehuntingknifedepot.com seems to capture that rugged American spirit. They have a huge selection hunting, fishing and pocket knives. If my grandfather were alive today I know where I would be getting his next birthday present.
