I'm pretty fond of this GeC B&T too but I like any B&T pattern made with 1095. And yea,,,,I know,,,, 1095 rusts but so do firearms if you neglect em.

My favorite for the last year of so is a esee izula II. its 1095 and holds a shaving edge very well. I'm jelous of the grouse you guys have. Havent killed/hunted them in 8 or 9 years. My friends pointer died and we haven't been since. Nice looking blade too in the bottom pick. The handle looks comfortable and kinda shaped like a barlow/sharpfinger cross. I can tell by looking at a knife if I would like it. And it looks like a knife I would use a lot. Benchmade and spiderco seem to have a huge following but for a pocket knife can't bring myself to carry anything but my SAK Farmer. I crossed over from my 10+ years of sodbuster jr carry and haven't looked back for 2 or 3 years now. I have to strop it often though, doesn't hold an edge like the yellow handled crovan case. I have been reading about elmax steel and would like to try a knife with that metal. Folks that have tried it rave about it but I'm sure any knife made with it will probably be more than I'm willing to pay for something I don't need but just want.

I will say that the Griptilian does not hold an edge as long as I would like it to. What steel on the BM? There may be variations in tempering among batches of steel, but for what it is worth I have 2 Benchmade Griptilians (one D2 and the other S30v steel). I thought that the D2 was good -- until I got the one with the S30v steel! It holds an edge MUCH longer. I would NOT want to sharpen the S30v blade with an Arkansas type stone though, it would take a long while. A DMT diamond stone works fine though. I really like the locking mechanism of the Benchmade Griptilian knives -- nice and open and easy to clean. By the way Steelhead, a number of years ago I had narrowed down a new knife buy to 1 of 2 models when you happened to post a picture of your everyday carry Benchmade Griptilian here. Anyway, that was enough to tip the scales in favor of the Benchmade for me. Thanks -- I've been very happy! John

When I bought it I did not realize there were steel variants available. I may have to move it to the sock drawer and get one in D2 or S30V if I can source one.

It's 154 and so far does a good job and I like it. It holds its edge better than the kershaw for sure. I should mention I keep a set of sticks on the bar and touch knives up when I wait on supper or coffee or just standing around. In other words I keep it touched up all the time and haven't ran it till dull yet to know just how long it would last.

Great V-1 Stainless Steel, and the rubber type grip is easy to hold on to when your hands are bloody. Easy to sharpen and holds an edge extremely well. Hard to beat for $35 bucks! And I'm not normally a fan of "cheap" hunting knifes. I own several Gene Ingram Customs, and many other custom hunting knifes that are twice as expensive. As each of my nephews have shot their first deer here at the Ranch, I pull out a brand new Pendleton Mini-Hunter knife, and dress the deer for them. Then I hand them their now bloody new hunting knife and tell them they get to do the next one on their on.

The 12 year old me wants one. Is it a Cold Steel Bali Dong? I'll have to get someone to send it to me as WA is retarded about such things. Buy one and have it shipped to me. I'll forward it to you. Screw those WA libs and their retarded laws. Knives don't kill people.....But they'll sure keep ya broke buying new ones you don't need.

Mine is the original Bali-Dong. The model 62 I believe. It is a great knife, but it should be for what they cost. They're about $300.00. My wife gave me this one.

I know this was a while back, but here's where I bought mine and they're still showing them as available (if you were wanting one): http://www.fieldsupply.com/kershaw-g10-hawk-folder.html I'm thinking about ordering another...
