My favorite is The Boys Knife.
Forged on the anvil of discipline.

What I like is the look of an early 20th century knife without all the wear and tear. Rat-tail bolsters would have been a perfect addition to this knife.

Re: BEST OF 2012
What I've heard is they're too difficult. Seems to me it would be simple enough to set up a vertical mill with ball mill tooling and turn them puppies out before breakfast. But what do I know? I'm not a machinist.
Makes you wonder if back in the day, they did those with a rat-tail file (thus the name). I can picture a couple of guys sitting hunched over a bench all day long, just filing grooves in bolsters.
