Build one out of stainless and I'd snap it up. Really nice design.

Hi, The reason I dont use stainless is that it does not hold an edge the way hi carbon does. (my experience anyway)There is also the hardening and tempering to deal with. I do everything by hand. For what its worth with this degree of polish on the metal you would really have to not take care of it to get it to rust. I have a push dagger that I carry everyday and sweat on a lot. Even under those conditions it does not rust. Anyway thanks for looking. Ken
