>>960873I really like the SK-5, its really well done. I carry it decently often as an all around general camp knife. Rock Creek knives, at lest their fixed blades, are amazingly high quality for the money, and even their in-house steel seems to hold up pretty well. I think they are not longer around though, I think Hanwei had to kill off the knife section (Rock Creek) after the factory fire 4ish years ago.
>>960880The problem is that the "sunk cost fallacy" it's self would be a fallacy, a Circumstantial Ad Hominem. Just because they own the knife, that is not reasoning to say they can't be objective about it, you are attacking them rather than their argument about why they think the knife is good or bad.
>>960991Yeah the Mora Companion is a really good starting point. I have no problem with higher end/custom knives at all. But I think it's best to start cheap and figure out what you want different before you start shelling out big bucks for something that may not suit you.
