RE: Zwickey vs. Magnus
I' ve used Zwickey and Magnus interchangeably for at least 20 years. Whenever it was that Bear quit producing their good carbon steel Razorheads and switched to that horrible stainless stuff, that' s when I switched. (Still use the stainless Razorheads for small game and such, but not deer.) Like said above, the biggest difference I' ve ever noticed is one is green and the other is black, with a bit of an edge to Zwickey for ' sharpenabililty.'
But I' ve been thinking maybe I' ve gotten into a rut and it' s time for a change. Might try Ribteks this year.
