Very nice Rick. Love your work and the newer patterns. The Lannys Clip is a fantastic pattern IMO. Digging the CF with blue liners also.
BUT, I gotta ask---what's with the A2? I am both kinda shocked BUT very pleasantly surprised to see you offering it. The stuff will flat out cut IME. I like it slightly darkened also, which is very easy to do. It gets darker than D2 which turns more gray. It also does it faster. The A2 looks like more of a natural patina or stonewash. The D2 looks more like a bead blast almost.
Love the skinners also. I have been contemplating a small skinner/nessmuk type to go with my A2 Bark River Gunny and Canadian.....
First time I used the material it was a regrind on bark river and I liked it. Its one of the few carbon steel's which air harden. Which means the maker has very good control of heat treat. I use Starrett so you know its high grade american stock.
