Thought you gentlemen might enjoy this. One of my third iterations of knives, 5160 steel, 1/4" stock, hand-ground (with a file) full flat-grind, heat-treated in an electric furnace I built, tempered to 57-58RC. The handle is canvas micarta, also made by me in my garage:

Took me a while to make it; but she's sharp and she's a tank :D.

What do you guys think?
 
I like it, looks like a good strong user. Don't drop it on the snow, or you won't find it until springtime.

randy
 
Haha; point noted.

I probably ought to post some pictures of it in use; it is strong beyond anything else I have. Maybe I'll thin the next one down a bit.
