I work as a fabricator welder and I had alot of spare time yesterday I was was thinking of making a knife. But we only work with mild steels and 316 SS, and some other very hard metals. So a good friend Steve said you won't chop with that, I'll bring one in tomorrow. The knife he has given me I think is the British Army survival knife, it has a 7" blade, with scandi grind, 5mm thick blade. I'm wondering how do these knifes perform, it has some marking on it too, like the symbol for 'delta'. Are they good? Anyway I like the weight, I think it will be perfect for chopping.
