Blame pitdog and others who continue to taunt me with their Koster Nessmuks!!!!

Well, I started an order, but need some help on the details...

1) Handle: Decided on Canvas Micarta
2) Steel: either 1095 or 01?
3) Blade Thickness: Leaning towards 1/8"
3) Grind: Scandi or Full Convex?
4) Finish: ??? Planning on Hand Rubbed, but may upgrade to mirror polished?

So, please help a taunted member out will ya?

O1 scandi(he does one of the best scandi edges IMO) hand rubbed finish, 1/8, but lemme tell ya the thinner one aint no punk either. With a scandi, its a mean slicer. Check out the makers for sale area, he has some up now.
 
Sorry I'm making ya splash cash bro !

Mine is made of 1/8" 1095 steel, natural Micarta handle and as forged finish on the flats ( I just rubbed the black off with some wet and dry ! ).
I really like the scandi grind but it's your decision !

I have had 2 of the 3/32 ones in 1095. The are awesome man. Sharp as a laser, and would slice like no ones business. You will like it, its alot of knife for the thickness.
