thanks in advance...

Marino- Only have the Shank, no Gso. Highly recommanded, perfect size allround knife in my opinion.

Pork shank is a great blade!
As Rag said above--It feels/handles very well & easier to sharpen than cpm3V.

The Pork Shank is a Busse favorite.
I'd like to see more Killer B's.

I would wait and get the GSO 5.1 in cpm 20cv, it is amazing steel. Have a GSO 4.1 in CPM 20cv and it holds an edge for forever

It's bigger than it looks. Had one for a short time. I was looking for a smaller blade. Got a custom shop AMS instead. If you are worried about it being too small, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Never had a gso but have had 7 pork shanks!! By far one of my favs!

Had a gso 5.1, nice knife, but a little too thin in the handle for my liking. I never had a pork shank so I can't compare. Gso blade appears to be wider than shank.
