Joe, Let me know when you make one of these out of 52100.

Joe you do make such fine knives. Unfortunately pictures cannot show just how tough they are and how natural and perfectly balanced in hand or how they cut with satisfying ease.
Other Joe: i have 3 of this Joe's knives. One is on my belt right now and i just used it to cut down some woody shrubs that were getting too close to one of the garden beds. I love using this small B&T or Utility knife. (could be called either).
The bigger Hunter i hope to use early this Fall when my arrow strikes 'home'. The third is another small Utility that i plan to gift to the right person. I know that whomever this will be, will so love this knife that they too will feel good every time they use it.
Somebody smart will buy this one just posted. "Smart" because they will know that a great using knife does not need frills and that positive feedback from other buyers is what to go by.
