Quote from: "Bull3540"
That is beautiful wood you used for the scales. Just an odd tangent as far as knife making goes, but why did you choose to use O-1 steel for the blade? Keep in mind that I know next to nothing about forging, knife making or the differences in steel, I am simply curious and wish to expand my knowledge base.Thanks all for the kind words!

William, I use 0-1 due to its high carbon content and simplicity of Heat Treat, As well as its reputation when used for knife blades.
I also use A-2 for the same reason, But it is much more expensive.
