    Ah, there is a seed of truth in that, but as you can see fro the other topic we have discussed this matter, I indeed see the world of knives differently. Also, just for the record I use Mora brand knives daily at my work as a warehouse worker at Wärtsilä. The knives primary function is to open cardboard boxes, which it handles with minimal difficulties. It is a reasonable tool fore such trivial tasks, as I see it. I have to get a new knife every two weeks, cause it won't keep edge, no matter how you sharpen it. It is made to be disposable, and I don't want that with my "real" knives.

    Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.

    You can't go in to nature, nature is not a place or an object. Nature just is. You are living it.

    Perhaps you heve never learned how to sharpen a knife properly?

    That might be, but considering the condition of my "real" knives it seems highly unlikely. Life truly is full of mysteries.

    ....or maybe the folks from Sweden harbor some of the same ill feelings toward their Finnish neighbors and send them all of the rejects just to mess with them. Nah, that can't be it.

    People who know they will have to merge because of construction, but still rush up and cut everyone off. Some guy in a Mini Cooper did that. I drive a van, but he kept pulling in. I finally had to let him in. He waved at me to thank me. I waved back but not with all of my fingers.

    Along that same thought - adults that were never disciplined as a child.
