I have to say it really depends on each knife design. elmax choils....... not a fan. R9 choil is great. B10 LE......... i bought the best of both worlds.

Good point, some choils are usable and some not.

What makes the R9 choil great, what benefit does it give over the same knife with the blade coming right up to the edge as on this one -
