Earlier when we were making lists of this or that knife, I FINALLY remembered my BWM. It is such a nice versatile knife but means so much that I rarely remember it. When I first got it the handle really hurt my hand. The tops of the handle grooves were SHARP! But as I used it some they wore down to where they don't hurt any more. But seeing as how it was a gift I am hesitant to use it which is stupid. I know the Dog that gave it to me would want me to enjoy it, and not just for it's looks.
