this is a beautiful knife, thank you for making it... brass guard and pommel
however, why o why is it 1055? I know that is what you use for machetes and large / tough blades...
but this seax would be so much more interesting with even 1075 or 80crv2 ideally : ) (just imho)
both those choices would provide much better edge retention, yet still be tough, and be very similar in price
please post if you would like one or buy one if they upgraded the steel?[/img]
