Just need to tool a nice sheath and it's getting shipped off Dan, Beautiful knife! Yet, can you provide handle/blade/OAL? Also, blade stock thickness and thickness behind the edge? Also, you said said above CPM154, then later "ramping up to 1950 degrees." What is your full protocol for CPM154 and final hardness? Thanks, Dan...I'm interested cause I have one I'd like kinda duplicated... Edited to add: I just now researched the "sad year" comments... SO sorry, Dan... Last edited by Journeyman; 09/28/23.
