That folder had three trips to three different makers to beoome what it is now. First rehardening with Phil Wilson, then resurfacing with Richard J. and then regrinding with Tom Krein. It took almost 7 months to get it done. Well, I've learned a lot and other rehardenings and resharpenings went went quicker. However, now it is as close to a perfect cutter as it can be today. Super steel, super hard and with very efficient grind. Read details in the review.

Fixed notes for the 0170-6C steel, a.k.a. Carbon V. Specifically, old notes stated that the steel was made by Camillus, when in fact it was made for them. Special thanks to BF's knarfeng for finding it.

Less than 8 hours until the Lost Season 6 :)

1 hour recap and 2 hour season premiere! Quiet a treat, granted they don't spoil it. S5 was my least favorite. Watching S1 again. Has to have lots of clues...

One of my favorites. Love the design and the steel is one of the newest super steels, performs accordingly too. Details in the review.

Well, managed to work a little on Wilson's Meadows Skinner review, but couldn't finish it. Doug up missing specs for se3veral custom knives, fixed those, had to weigh, measure etc. Now I have to go to the party, so today is off... If the hangover won't kill me tomorrow I'll finish it up...
