If you’re reading Knives Illustrated, chances are pretty good that you’ll either give or receive a blade over the holidays, and that’s where we’re here to help! This issue features not only an expanded Gear Guide: Holiday Edition, but it also highlights some time-tested and intriguing models that’ll make the grumpiest grinch smile. For the hunters, we have the iconic Buck Folding Hunter. For those who want a touch of class with their knives, we show you the Woox Leggenda. And for those who want a hardworking fixed-blade tool, we introduce you to the Comanche from Smith & Sons. Are you hard to shop for? Leave our six-page Pocketknives Perfected photo section open on the kitchen table. The craftsmanship and skill on display will hopefully inspire your loved one to splurge on a gift for you! Whether you’re buying for yourself or someone else, the gift of an edged blade will never go wrong!

KITCHEN KNIVES DON'T HAVE TO BE DULL
I have a confession to make. See if this sounds familiar. I take meticulous care of the knives I use for everyday carry, hunting, and general woods wandering. I wipe them down with an oily cloth after use and I never let them get too dull. Seldom do I have to restore a damaged edge. Most of the time I simply touch up the edges of my pocketknives with a few careful strokes across the rough bottom of a ceramic coffee cup. That’s usually all that’s needed. I don’t use my knives as screwdrivers or pry bars. As a matter of fact, I still have the very first knife I ever owned, an old Boy Scout knife that was handed down from my older brother. The blades have a deep patina that comes with using carbon steel over the years, but the knife is very usable still.
