Your steel is incredible, as usual....what contrasts in materials and such a fine piece of cutlery.

Hey everyone, thanks a lot for commenting. I think I'm dialing in my process more and more the way I want it, to get these type blades configured well and looking cool too. Some days it sure doesn't feel like it though!
