I prefer the original knives made by Melvin in Kansas. They are made by his son-in-law now I believe, in Florida.

I bought 2 of their knives at shows in OH and PA back in the 90's when they were made in Kansas. Nice and well
made knives, a skinner and a fillet model. The fillet I gave to a fishing buddy and always regretted not buying another,
ditto on the skinner but in both instances they were good friends that also enjoyed quality knives.
I can't imagen the quality or materials have changed because they moved to FL. Glad I saw this, now I know where to get another!

From comments here, it seems to be a different maker.

I bought a fillet knife from them in the 90's. Was a pain to get sharp and had to use diamond stones to get the edge to what I want. I want to say they use S110v but not sure. Other than being hard to sharpen it's a good knife that I would buy again. On their website it says they moved to Florida.

Other than being hard to sharpen it's a good knife that I would buy again. On their website it says they moved to Florida. Melvin was an early D2 proponent after the hype from the famous D2 makers. He later was a dean of CPMS60V, also called 440V. I have 5 or 6 and never found them difficult to sharpen. YMMV. The move to Florida was Steve and Tess Greene, Melvin's SIL and Daughter who, IMO, did a wonderful job keeping Melvin's legacy alive, switching to S30V...and doing it well.
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...
