What's perfect? It's a good knife.
This is many times better better than every other knife in my kitchen drawer, and didn't cost more than any one of them.I bought the Old Hickory after a minor epiphany. It began when I was trying to sharpen a paring knife that I use all the time in spite of the fact that it's almost dull to the point of uselessness. It's a Chicago Cutlery knife which is made from some mysterious stainless steel, and needless to say I was just ripping minute chunks out of the blade without really improving the edge a bit. It occurred to me all at once that I would never tolerate such poor quality in a camping or hunting knife, but I have never questioned the overt lousiness of my kitchen knives.Part of the reason for that is that I see no need to spend a ton of cash on something for chopping vegetables and cutting sandwiches. I looked around, and saw that the Ontario Old hickory knives were pretty cheap,and made from 1095 carbon steel. I had used that steel extensively in the field, and knew it would take both a harsh beating and an razor's edge, so I figured I'd give one a try. When I got the Old Hickory, I spent a few minutes on it with an Arkansas stone, and sure enough I was cutting paper with it in no time. For kicks, I tried that with the Chicago cutlery, and it just tore the sheet. You can see the results in my customer image.Nothing is perfect. Old Hickory knives look awful. They won't be shiny like stainless unless you polish them all the time (and you shouldn't do that). They will rust if you don't wash and dry them after you use them. You will have to touch up the edge once in a while, and the handles are uncomfortable.On the other hand, the cheapest knife in my drawer is now razor sharp. When it gets a little dull, I'll run it across a stone a few times and be good to go. Now that my expectations have been met by this unassuming paring knife, I think I'll buy a full set of Old Hickories, pitch out my other knives, and call it good.
