IMG ![[Linked Image]](http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh538/brdajd/stagtrapper030a.jpg) Here's a blade I found in a drawer that I forgot about. I made a couple of these for a friend several years ago. Its M4. He sends the knives back every so often for me to sharpen and swears there the best steel he's every had. So I decided to put a handle on it and give it to my boy. It sure got sharp but I'm curious as to how it holds up. Any of you guys have much experience with M-4 I really like the lines of this knife!

I just asked Brett to add my name to his list. If I don't get side tracked by a slip joint this last fixed blade design will be what I order.

I sent this to Paul Boss. That's probably been 6 or 7 years ago. I know he retired from buck but is he still doing any custom heat treating? Seems like this was 64rc. It sure eat up the belts. Paul retired but his business continues at Buck. I use their heat treatment because I can just drive over there and I can't see buying all the equipment and learning the science/art being cheaper than having the pros do it. As long as you're doing 10+ blades at a time the price isn't bad. I really enjoy seeing your work here.

My wait is 16-18 months now, I try not to think about it but every so often some funky lucker bumps this thread to the top or posts photos of a new blade

No kidding. That design would cover just about any kind of field work the average guy needs with the added bonus of looking good doing it. Thanks for posting it.
