Do what !!!!!!!!

[R.A.T.]

We will stick with 1095 USA made for the ESEE line. With that said, we are working on some stainless and other steel projects for limited runs.

Limited Runs sound Exciting !

 

[Don Rearic]

Pride of ownership combined with a lot of disposable income has slammed a lot of vehicles, watches, flashlights, guns and knives on Internet forums of all types.

Years ago, I heard what was supposed to be an old Russian proverb and it was attributed to Mikhail Kalashnikov, or someone close to him, regarding the AK-47. It's actually a quote from Voltaire:

"Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien." - Voltaire <~ Explore link!

Except when I first heard about it, it was just in English and not French.

Durability, manufacturing considerations, cost of materials and the price of the finished product and the desire for it to be affordable combined with toughness, ease of sharpening and edge retention will keep knife scribblers going to physical therapists for carpal tunnel syndrome for decades to come. And their existence on the planet will continue to push me to not use periods and write extremely long sentences.

Take care of your steel.

These stainless weenies think that high carbon is low end because you can provoke it to rust. They don't understand that with a minute amount of maintenance most inexpensive high carbon steels will outperform their schnazzy chromium blades (that are impossible to sharpen in the field anyway) in just about every outdoor application. I'd take 1095 over just about anything else, and can't think of a situation where I'd prefer a stainless steel.

I prefer stainless when it comes to the knives a surgeon might be using on me

Why? They just cut you a couple/few times and go to another one, anyway.

Just have them throw in a tetnus(sp?) shot. Done.

I'd prefer my surgeon use high end obsidian blade scalpes though, but that's just me

Why? Just loan him your -3 After cutting just pour some whiskey in the wound to desinfect.
Hygiene is overrated

Living on the Texas Coast I do have a need for stainless blades for my trunk kit and fishing kits....but i have to admit i am a bit of a 1095 fan

I live in the humidity of North Alabama and I have never had any trouble with 1095. I don't do anything special to it either.
