Today I carried my Norseman by John/Eric Grimsmo. Really liking it so farView attachment 298785
Nice looking knife .LuD.! What is it, and is that sheath ostrich leather?
It's a lock back, CF, and RWL34 blade steel. And nice view, the sheath is on ostrich leather.
How do you like RWL34? I have no idea about that steel and have hardly ever heard of it. From the little info I've found, I think it's supposed to be similar to CPM 154 but I have no idea how it compares to, say, S30V, or other steels. I wonder because the John Grimsmo Norseman's, like the one pictured above, use RWL34. I guess I'll start to find out for myself when I get my Norseman tomorrow.

Decided to try out multiple knives for fun. I really carried all if this. I also carry iPhone 4s in a Lifeproof case, taking this this picture.
Ooooohhhhh nice! I'm picking up my Norseman in person from the Grimsmo Brothers tomorrow morning at the USN Gathering here in Las Vegas this weekend! Can't wait! I went with the honey comb patter and darker bronze that should look a bit rustic when all fingerprinted up and deep plum purple stand offs and thumb stud, as well as orange peel finish over stone washing (guessing the stonewash will get polished out after the orange peeling but it should show up in certain areas, especially the non-locking side). Cheers.
