I cant speak for Nick but A2 is way cooler grinding than 0-1. Its air hardening and takes a good edge.
It almost grinds like butter Brian. Horton uses alot of A2 and he calles it "Mothers Milk"
I'd like to know too. There's another one you use, right? H something? Are they all just different hardnesses?

Hi Paul, 22 degrees is what I sharpen at
Nick
I use the Lansky sharpening system which does it in 5 degree intervels. Normally I'd sharpen at 25 degrees for everyday use but have been reading that on better quality steel it's better at 20 degrees. What do you think on the A2 steel you're making for me right now?
Hope I'm not being a pain. Let me know if I am.

The Lansky 20 is equual to the 22 on my Gatco which I use. So you should be good to go.
Nick
Great...Thanks.
I've been looking at your threads and all the different kinds of knives that you make. You have quite the nice assortment of different purpose blades. You have many must haves like the woodsman, fillet, skinner and some others that are like to haves. How is the fillet knife? Is it a stiff blade or flexible? I'm guessing stiff but thought I should ask and how is it?

Very nice knife and heart!!!!!Thanks man, I just love this one! Too bad I have to give it awayIt is for a good cause though. I am giving it to a fund raiser for a heart research program for youngsters. See, a young boy that is/ was known by my family died from a certain heart condition and I am just trying to help in any way I can. Hopefully it will help out the program. I just hate to see a child suffer in the way some do.
Ya don't realize how good you have it until you hear something like this. All of the sudden, those little bumps in the road of life that make us upset, seem to disapeer, and you have to look back and say I need to wake up and smell the roses before it's too late.

Here's a few pics of my new Knife!!! NOT TOY!!! I think it got mad because I called it a toy and it bit me today. This knife is SO sharp that I didn't even feel it...LOL I'm in love with it...Is that possible? The ONLY fault that I find with it is that I can't bring it with me when I head to RI. They cry if you have anything over 3 inches.
I was going to post a few pics but I can't seem to do it.
