He doesn't like my Furi knives because of the all-metal handles - they get slippery when the going gets messy - and he's not fond of the lighter weight of them.
The Victorinox...quite exy, aren't they? |

Yes they are. Does it make me sound like a serial killer to say that I think good quality knives are sexy?  |

The larger one is the old Victorinox of my mother. It's a good knife, but as a chef's knife I prefer the smaller one.
BTW Marc, what are
antaloons? Something speakable? Something to do with hymenoptera? you know wasps, bees, ants ...
Sorry.
