Make sure they're German and not Chinese, huge difference!

I try to avoid anything made in China.
Knowing her, this set is from China, though.
Being a little rough on the wifey today aren’t you?
Me? Nah. We're at the point in our lives where we have hallway s*x. She walks by me in the hall and says, "#*ck you!" LOL

Victorinox are pretty popular in professional kitchens for i bet 80% of tasks, they've been using the same X55CrMo14 steel forever and have the heat treat dialed. Easy to sharpen, holds an edge well. That said, we have whatever cheap a$$ garbage is on sale so I don't feel bad when the kids throw it in the dishwasher. They know not to use my knives.

finally put a small doe in the freezer last friday, been a slow year here.....hunting 95% dad's property, and it's a very narrow 58 acres, so lots of transition deer......been a HUGE acorn/mast year, so october hit and they jumped on acorns......which we don't have a ton of, albeit some........slow bow season, slightly better rifle season, but still nothing hugely regular......really hoping the bucks slow down on their thing next week and maybe hop back onto the green feed, or at least the does do......3.5 weeks left for more freezer filling......was down to about 45lbs before the season, and will only likely get 30-35 off that first one......
Funny story about deer hunting.
My cousin flew up to Glenns Falls, NY to go deer hunting about ten years ago. As he was on final approach into the airport that evening, the previous plane that landed came in the radio and said beware if deer on the field. That's not uncommon for airports, but you're taught to use caution and keep an eye open anyway. As the twin engine Cessna is about to touch down, he hit a good sized buck with the right prop and sliced it in half.
Thankfully, they were about a foot off the ground on contact, so they landed safely, but his prop was destroyed. It cost him a few thousand dollars to get it replaced. When the emergency service guy came out to clean up the carcass, he asked if my cousin wanted it butchered. He said no, but the guy took it for himself. Who knows if it was any good, but my cousin said it was a clean slice.
That would get the heart pumping for sure! My Dad was a private-pilot instructor when I was young. He taught my brother and I how to fly single engine planes. I can't imagine the sound or feeling that a prop hitting a deer would cause, even in a twin engine. Yikes. At least it was during landing and not take off.
When I lived in Oregon, I would hunt out of my Uncle's place in Grants Pass. It was not uncommon in the rural areas for people to hit crossing deer and, if in good enough condition, take them back home to be dressed and steaked out.

He said there was very little feel since it sliced right through the body.
