For him, cutlery is both a necessity and a way of life. It's unthinkable for him to leave home without at least one knife (fixed or folding). An indispensable tool for his hunting and fishing trips, it's just as inseparable for him from game preparation, cooking and the table. For him, the knife is the tool that made man who he is today, and one that is impossible to do without even in our overdeveloped societies.
He likes: Utility knives because they are functional, solid and have specific features for various uses in the field and in the kitchen. He also enjoys his showcase knives, with a solid collection of around 250 pieces. These are usually knives with a history of craftsmanship or specific favorites. He seeks the perfect alchemy between steel and noble materials (especially wood or horn).
He also loves: life and hunting in the African bush. He only hunts what can be eaten, and dislikes the craze for hunting trophies, noble and endangered animals.
He still likes: Being able to rely on his knife in the bush and in the forest! Preparing game right up to its arrival on the table...
And he also likes: functional, no-nonsense knives, whatever the brand, although he clearly prefers Benchmade, because he values the ratio of functionality to aesthetics.
Finally, he'll probably tell you that he likes: "big chunky", short knives with a bouncy blade (nessmuk type), which he thinks are great for butchering!
He doesn't like: Bling-bling knives with "Picasso" shapes that are unusable. Knives that are too sophisticated and especially those that don't cut.
What he doesn't tell you: He's only ever swung a knife once!
What TK thinks of his Sharp User: As you may have noticed, XIII is our most talkative Sharp User! A true hunter at heart, XIII loves the finer things in life. With his global knowledge and natural curiosity, XIII is one of those (rare) people who can do just about anything!
