I don't know how you produce such consistently beautiful cutting tools! I absolutely love mine and have found, by using it, how brilliantly it has been designed. Stunning work.

I like the look of that knife and sheath. How much would something like that cost? What steel are you using?

thanks, its o1 tool steel which works well with a scandi given a 25 degree bevel, when properly heat treated gives good edge integrity and edge retention push cutting on hard abrasives like wood which is what its designed to do.
