Owning 4 of Hank's blades myself, and having used my buddy's Randall a time or two, I must agree...
But I still want a Randall in my collection... ?
Greed, I guess... ?

Not a great picture. I carry on of these every day. All of these push button autos were made by Chris English ( RIP ) " Z " Knives from Thomaston Ga. I have 6 of these, one of them not in the picture I inherited from my granddad. They all have a pocket clip on the other side, they fly open quick and strong! Chris was a great knife maker and a great guy!

@Hillbilly stalker. I found the set we talked about earlier. Not sure where the fillet blade got to...

I have a buddy who is an absolute wizard on putting an edge on a blade.
His results are truly amazing. Stone & leather strop.
Insanely sharp.
It is a skill that I've not acquired. I cheat and use a powered sharpener for the cheep kitchen knives.
My better knives, live in a super-secret block tucked away in a small drawer. These get mailed in to Shun & Wusthof when they need touching up. The Eastern single grind on the Shuns is beyond my knowledge.
I've never seen an edge with the polish of the one in this guy's video.
I have no idea what he's using, but simply in awe of the results.
Shine, baby shine.
RidgeRunner knives got a strong endorsement from the folks at Winkler Knives when I spoke with them.
Wanting a special gift for my nephew and had some questions for Winkler peoples concerning blade styles, options, etc.
That phone call is gonna be costly, I'm afraid.

I can get a knife shaving sharp, the edge on that knife above is Surgery Sharp. Impressive isn't even a synonym.

I also need to get him a set of stones, strop, etc....to maintain the knife I give him.
I'll check with my BIL and see if what they already have.
I can trust that my nephew will be in good form on his skills.....heck, he may already be better than my buddy the edge wizard.
I need to work on my skills putting an edge on.....I can get it down shaving sharp.....but it does't last long.
Would benefit from improving my results and enjoy the process.

Picked up a good durable knife for my nephew.
He just made Eagle Scout and I wanted to give him something he'll have a long time, providing he takes care of it.
My parents are giving him a Henry commemorative Eagle Scout edition .22lr lever gun for Christmas, I believe.
I also want to get him some quality stones & strop to start off with.
What do you guys think ?
I'm wide open to suggestions.
I'd prefer to go with flat stones....not the rods w/ adjustable angles and such. That's the gimmicky stuff for his Uncle G, yours truly
Want better for him....he's a patient and deliberate young man. I'm betting he will keep this sucker insanely sharp.
Thanks

I posted earlier about my distaste for modern folding knives with the clip… mentioned that if I ever found one that skinned as well as my muskrat that i would repent.
Well I skinned a doe last night with one of those Outdoor Edge folding knives with the replaceable blades… man that thing works. Doesn’t do anything for me sentimentality but I’ll be darned I’m going to go buy one.

Dub I've had one of the Tri-Hones for probably about two years and I like it, I believe for your nephew it'll probably do just fine as a start without breaking the bank and congrats to him for achieving Eagle Scout ... that's quite an accomplishment!
