Sometimes we choose a knife based more upon it's visual appeal than it's ergonomics. Such is the case with my Fallkniven FN30. This knife would not work well for hard-use. Not because it isn't well made...but because it's ergonomics won't allow it. However, visually, I find this blade rather appealing. It is sleek...simple...and a bit unusual. Certainly the 3G steel is unusual (as in this is the only one of it's type that I have in my collection).
