Mr. Culpeper, Sir, some people know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Since your looking at a Bear with 1095 damascus blade your obviously not planning on using it. For I'd stack a Buck up against that any day. Especially, those w/ 425, 440C, 154CPM and S30V blade steel, which can be purchased anywhere.(not only at the custom shop) These will out perform 1095 hands down. You should look at, who carries the better guarentee, conducts far better heattreating and places superior craftsmanship into the package? This is about more than merely, price and pretty. Then make an informed decision. DM
The 110's w/ these steels may be purchased for less than the monies you quoted while delivering to its owner over the next 25-30yrs. flawless preformance. Now, thats economy and value sir! DM
