I'm having second thoughts about making this a birthday present for my son
Like, I already gave him a gorgeous clay tempered samurai sword 2 years ago...
I hope this post is okay, since I brought it up. The sword I bought my son is not available anymore (don't even recall the maker, sorry), but this is the one I bought him. So I think I deserve the K20.1 for myself, and he can have it when I'm done and gone

May I ask when Keff-Dog's K20 was built? I was under the impression that production hadn't started yet. Was this from an earlier batch I don't know about? I'm new to this area, so please forgive my ignorance. Best, SteveHey! I got to handle one of these at Dr. Keff-dog's place the other day and let me tell you, it was SWEEEET!
Yes earlier batch

Many aspects of our process on these complex projects has evolved quite a bit and are proprietary.

As it should be, you did the experiments, spent money, time, mental energy. You should benefit from it !

The thing Mark does with his unwashed toes on each piece of steel and the amount of time the blades spend in the creek?
