Very nice - I'm a big fan of Darrel's designs! (In fact, I carry one of his knives as an EDC.)

I do wish he'd offer something other than AUS8.

S30V, 154CM, ATS34 are all good suggestions.

AUS8 = 440B Name the custom maker that uses 440B. Yeah, see, it's just OK.

Darrel's designs are terrific - they look good and they function beautifully. It would be nice if they had an upgrade option for the steel.

The best option might be to offer a simple blade template and raw stock, or even unground blanks. Those are great steels. I can add a couple more that people also ask for that would be nice to have.

Thanks for the input. I've never met a better idea that I didn't like!
