Had an emergency dentist visit yesterday, and with the recent acquisition of the exact knives for which I've been looking, even though I love these, they aren't getting, carried so they should be yours and not mine.

Stuart Davenport EDC in CruForge V steel wearing Purple Heart - this knife is a MONSTER CUTTER. Stuart (goes by samuraistuart) should be a master bladesmith, if he isn't. His heat treat is exceptional, 63HRC but not fragile. I carried this for a couple weeks, used it to process about 50 lbs of apples for apple sauce and some various other EDC jobs. No bushcrafting, but I did want to see how tough it was at 63, so I did a little batoning and it ate the wood up. Stuart ground this to a near-zero edge, and then sharpened to 15 degrees per side. I have a close up shot of the cutting edge to show you just how wonderfully it is ground. After that 50lbs of apples, this thing was still cutting through food like a razor. I touched it up on ceramics just to bring it back to shaving. It whispers through receipt paper. Has some slight patina, tried to clean it up the best I could, but the way this steel takes patina is pretty cool. Different from 1095. Anyway, you get to make your own now. I paid $115 for this knife with no sheath, and am selling it for $105, but aside from the little patina, it might as well be new.
