Decorated Umnumzaan with "Mystery Steel"

I like the blade, but the handles just doesn't work for me. I like the original look better. Great job nifegrinder, I hope they are paying ya well :thumbup:

On Plaza Cutlery's site they have posted this beauty, anyone see it in person at their recent show?

Will there be a new steel in use soon, or is this a special project? Spill, Dave!

I quizzed Dan about it before the show with an interest to buy one of the two that were supposed to be at the Plaza Show. He did not know any additional details before the show; CRK was pretty tight lipped about it.

As much as I like the Umnumzaan and enjoy CRKs work, the asking price for such mundane embellishments (i.e., drilled divots, anodized divots / slab grooves, and a mystery steel blade) is :( .

Hard for me to digest too. Even if it is one of two made this year and there may be a couple next year. I find a four hundred percent increase in price over a stock item hard to swallow.

I believe it's not about the steel as such but about FIRST CRK folder with that "new" steel and FIRST decorated Umnum ever. It's about the number :)

Any ideas about what steel it was?
