Never try and work out human behaviour my friend, it is a fruitless task.

I restrained from getting from getting Chinese knives for a long time but in the last year I've acquired a few I have to say for the price the quality is definitely outstanding of the examples that I have. The Kizer Mini Grouper and the Real Steel Sacra are a couple of my favorites
