Well, I recently traded dfarmer for one of his small fixed blades, and I must say, I love it! I got it this morning, and was very impressed with it. It is a flat ground o1 steel with blue/creme g10 handle. It came with a leather pouch sheath. The blade was very sharp, and being as every knife I get, i reprofile it (to make future touch ups for me easier), this one to 40 inclusive, and the edge geometry was absolutely perfect. It is my first blade from a custom maker, and It may not be my last from dfarmer. The trade was very easy, and a great guy to do business with. I got this for primary edc, and I wanted a knife that could last, and I think this could be it. I do have a few questions however.
What exactly is o1 steel, I know its a carbon steel, but where does it rate with other carbon steels?
Also, I want to carry this thing tomorrow, but I prefer in pocket sheath with maybe a clip, anyone have any cheap fast ideas before making a kydex one?
Thanks!
