I’ve read the same thing, but I can’t remember where.knifeman65 said:I really like the Chris Reeve line of knives with the hollow handle. They are made from one solid billet of A2 tool steel which can be sharpened to a razors edge. These blades are very tough and hold a good edge. The drawback is it should be taken care of or it can rust. But like any high end equipment, you take care of it. Mainly, clean and oil after use, and don't leave the knife in the sheath while stored away. I read somewhere that Chris Reeve hollowed out these handles originally, just to reduce the weight and get the proper balance, and the storage idea was just a bonus .
