^Congrats. That is a beautiful knife. I gave it a hard look but during the mad scramble was able to snag the one I had my eye on, the LilLady in African Blackwood (a wood I am very partial to). Also my first knife with this steel. Excited as heck to score!!! Now I need to find a good sheathmaker. This deserves some quality leather.
 
My first time hearing of 8670. Sounds like it’s a great steel from the comment I read on here.
What would a comparable steel be? (if there is one)

Either way, I’m pretty excited to try it out!
What a great batch this week. Awesome job to all the fellas in the shop making it happen every week!!

Edit to add: Just saw the thread on this. Gotta keep my eyes open! Lol!

Its been around quite a while, and I know of a few of the makers that I consider masters that swear by it. Don Hanson is one example. Its a saw blade steel, and may be compared to L6. It takes an unreal edge! I am very happy with the results of the test knife. Its quickly becoming my favorite steel.
