I just got my 2 blades (A-2) back from Paul Bos today. Incredible! Perfectly straight, even the infamous #2, which was subjected to numerous stresses, boo-boos, overheating the steel several times and even throwing. Since they are A-2, they rusted in his shop, so he bead blasted them and oiled them for me! What a guy! Paul, you don't Ht 1095 or 1075, right? Im using that now cuz its cheaper ($4 vs $15), but i will definetly send more blades your way in the near future!
