Don't think so, but I sure did try to talk Tony into using some simple carbon steel.

My choice would be W2, or 1086M, because of the extremely fine grain, capable of that special scary sharpness and holds a good edge.
01, 52100 and 1095 would do well, just not quite as good.

First knife I ever made was with W2, and it is probably my fav steel and love seeing what others are doing with it (in regards to flashy heat treating)...would love to see Tony put some of those smaller fixed paring blades he does in it! :thumbup:

I had this English jack by Don with his W2 and I really liked how that steel cut.
It would be great on a Bose knife, but then again so would Don's damascus with Tony's ivory.

Rick, 52100 is my favorite, hands down, but A2 is a close second. I really like the D2 in the knife I have from you, but it definitely holds a different kind of edge that 52100.

Charlie this means a Forge guy. Oklahoma talk maybe? Here everybody is referred to as stock removal or wompers.
So is there a slang term for "stock removal" guys?? I mean, they must kinda feel left out, if they don't have a cool name like "Wompers"!
I guess you could say whompers and grinders.

There was some stiddy 'whomping' going on at Don's shop Saturday. I lesson in slackening the blade by the master. :thumbup:
Man, a T. Bose with W2 or 1086M...that would be a rare bird. A sweet rare bird! :thumbup:

Don, that's the only thing I've ever lost from my man pouch in the front. As for sending Tony the damascus, I'm game!
