Both!!:confused:

The end of the blade where it starts curving down towards the tip is sharpened, but not the straight part, if that makes any sense.

It is sharpened for about 1 1/2" from the tip of the blade, the rest is a false edge.
 
Very nice... Do you have a sheet that specifies O1 steel? I only ask because most all of the larger knives I've seen f/Sanders are of the 440-C variety. Please email me if you'd like eric.moss@williams.com

I do like his blades.

Ya'll are killing me with these O1 questions because I don't know. As a collector, I does not matter to me what the blade is made of, all they do is sit in my curio cabinet. Just curious, Is there something I should know about O1.

The blade thickness measures out at 3/16"

No, I do not have any paperwork on the knife.

Just a knife and a sheath.

I don't think anyone wishes to impose anything on you. Since you asked though I think an answer has to be given: simply put, for a knife that will be used O1 is just so much better than 440C. Now, for a safe queen I would say that 440C would probably be a better choice since it can take a better finish than O1. Just my $0.02 :).
 
Excuse me for stepping in, I know is none of my business but:

1. O1 is a good carbon steel, I'd take it over 440C any time
2. The knife is a hot deal for the price IHMO, if I was in the market for a camp knife I'd buy it in a heartbeat
3. Hint: the maker should know if it's O1

I hope it helps :)
 
I was only joking!

I have never used a custom made knife, they only come out of the curio for cleaning and showing off. PS>>They all wipe off the same. LOL

Mike told me that the steel is O1. I buy knives from Mike alot and all he tells me is materials, and I write them down in my knife log.
