This is a little knife I just finished :) I like it a lot, it is made from Vanax 35 (my new favorite stainless steel, awesome performance!)

Here are some pics I took for fun. This knife is spoken for already.

That VANAX 35 looks interesting for sure. How hard are you able to get it?
 
The blade on this knife was tested to 59-60 RC. The cool stuff about the steel are the nitrides that it forms and how corrosion resistant it is. I love the stuff!
 
The corrosion resistance is definitely the most intriguing part of this steel. The 9% volume of nitrides sounds just about right for a good combination of wear resistance and toughness though.
 
Thats cool Jon. I am looking forward to trying it soon. AKS newest employee. I thought they only haired family. O Wait you are family.
