Caradoc,

How do the nylon knives compare with steel blades? It seems like they'd be more likely to chip.

Even a high carbon steel blade can chip or break when in use, any use, but for stabbing purposes the high impact plastic knives are just as good.

I've not dealt with them but there are a few on *bay at the moment. I forget their asking price but the total with shipping would probably be about $12 or so.

Cheers! Bill

The nylon knives are "okay" for cutting. But in all honesty, they're meant for stabbing attacks, and are generally advertised as self-defense weapons.
