I'll display my ignorance once again... Benchmade is a brand and not something you made? You have the tools and the skill set so I could imagine you making one.
Correct, Benchmade is a brand. And (in my opinion) grossly overpriced and overrated

I use this. Great for skinning squirrels or cutting tobacco. No need to sharpen, just swap out the blade. Last blade lasted me a while.

I usually cut my plugs with an electric chainsaw... It's makes flakes and rubs them out into ribbons all at once! :lol:

In all seriousness, I only recently acquired a proper plug that will need to be sliced and I haven't yet opened it. When I do, my plan is to use a sharp Santuko-style knife unless I can source an awesome and proper tobacco cutter like @ncrobb has. *Jealouos!*

It rarely gets used. I hade to make a blade for it, but it cuts the hardest plug with no effort.
