Nice little fellow. I really like your 3fingers designs

I thought K110 was pretty much like D2. I'm no metallurgist (not even close) but 65rc sounds quite high for D2.

K110 is a D2 equivalent, made by the Austrian company Boehler. I buy it directly from them and like it better than the standard D2. 65 Rocwell hardness is achieved by keeping the blade in liquid nitrogen for around 24 hours. This converts a big part of the residual austenite to martensite and gives a higher hardness number. I tested this steel (Same hardness 65Hrc) to chop brass, bone and wood and still shaves and cuts paper after that. This little blade will not be used for hard chopping, i bet, so this hardness will not be an issue

Oh I believed you! I was just just curious about the relative toughness of D2 with such high hardness. As you said, according to your tests, not a concern what so ever. :thumbsup:
