    I had a lovely little ceramic knife for 6 months, then I let my wife use it.
    She broke it in 10 minutes

    We would still be discussing it if my wife had done that to a knife.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yeah. That's the problem with ceramic. Don't rely on these for hunting without a back up.

    Yeah I would never use it as a sole hunting knife, but as a skinning knife it's great with the razer sharp edge that lasts about 10 times longer than steel.
    Ceramic's a bit like carbon fibre, strong in some uses but weak with lateral force. Although saying that I've dropped mine onto concrete from 3m and it's had some abuse and still haven't chipped it.

    I am intrigued by the NZHS etched into it Specweapon.

    Number 2 is your liner lock.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I would be in for one with the forum logo on it like the T shirt and window sticker.

    Sweet, I've got the forum logo from Bryan, just getting in touch with the laser engraver to see if they can fit it on the knife and still look ok. I might do a run of 20 forum knives and do my own run seperate
