"1234567, I sure did not mean to come off as disparaging your knives, if I did. From what I have seen they are quite nice indeed. I am further sure the steel is "Rolls Royce"."

You didn't disparaqing my knives, and I did not take it that way. All I took it to mean that you were referring anyone who wants to look to a video on making knives from files, which I have done, also. My opinion is that there is something better, but that is all it is, my opinion. To each his own.

The steel I use is 154 CM at Rc 61, heattreated by Paul Bos, and available to anyone. Mine are no better nor any worse than anyone elses knives made from the same material and heat treated by Paul.

I wish that I had never gotten into this thread, and I wish even more that I could restrain myself from making any more posts, but I can't seem to do that, either.
