What blade steel is 01 comparable to ?

Depends on tempering, I guess. Various threads here on BF comparing it to 52100, among others.

From https://www.hudsontoolsteel.com:

I love the fact that it's parkerized. Don't like the "sticky" feel of DLC, typically, but this one will be different.

It also means, I think, that Gen 6 20CV/M390 Bowies are around the corner

Just ordered one myself. Been waiting for the Bowie. Vintage Bowie is a huge unexpected bonus!

The vintage Bowie looks so good
Very nice combo

Did someone mention bowie?! Just finished this bowie conversation (from a 3v sparrow) with a full dlc black out earlier today! Turned out pretty neat

Full track showed up today and I traded for a skinny no choil XM-18 3.5” that’ll be here in a couple days.

Ya I grabbed one, I was happy to see a Bowie with Triway.... so I made a bad financial decision. I need to sell my crossroads now to recoup Haha.

Thanks! I can't claim the design, I just made it happen he wanted the bowie transition on the spine different than stock (pushed further back towards the stud) with the swedge. We were originally gonna do a compound grind but ended up going with a hollow instead.

DLT is going to put a HURTIN’ on my bank account.
New 3.0 XM-18s on the way next week. Good grief Rick, make it stop.

Anyone know what the fullered spear looks like? Thought it was a typo at first...

Yes, I do. Pictures are from from DLT's notification email.

Thanks! I’ve signed up for those notifications numerous times and seem to rarely get them... Good looking knives. Think I’m gonna hold out for more Bowie’s though.
