Thanks you guys so much!
Rob, 5160 is butter.. But we've played together before..
This may or may not be my kith blade.. I have two more on the bench
and with a little luck hopefully they turn out a little better than this one.

For me, that knife creates the impression that the maker is getting pretty close to knowing what he's doing ...

Very nice. I like the recurve in the blade. It all flows very well.
