Goes well with my Menefee Boner. It's a design we discussed, though mostly his 'idea' based on my vague description. I'm thinking this should remove some meat from the bone rather quickly this fall. Not many knives in A2, though I'm not sure why. I cut the dog with the shadow of the blade. The sheath is a very neat design too. ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/Knives/m2_zpspcqdnrlm.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/Knives/m1_zpsshjgjr8x.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/Knives/m3_zpshvlyyfag.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/Knives/m4_zpsgikecfuo.jpg)

I've a few with that sheath design. It works very well.
That is a delicious design for the blade, too. Well done.

Scott; Thanks for sharing the photos and I'm hoping this finds you folks well. As noted, the design is eminently practical and would absolutely be at home in a pack in this part of the world.  All the best to you folks for the remainder of the summer Scott. Dwayne

And our favorite bartender today at the place on the river down the road from us. She got all wet when she saw my boner. ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/IMG_0349_zpsou4adssb.jpg)

A2 is a grade of steel that many machining tools are made from. Very hard, like woodpecker lips.

From dead soft bring up to around 1750F and let it quench in air instead of oil, water, or salt. Also a general purpose tool steel that is most commonly used in a variety of air-hardening steel. It is commonly used for blanking and forming punches, trimming dies, thread rolling dies, and injection molding dies.

I was gonna volunteer that cinnamon & butter... ...but anyway, nice knife. A2 is an air hardening tool steel, like others said. It will harden in air with minimal distortion, and is moderate in cost. Chris Reeve made some of his large knives with it, for a few years...
