Team Leader in Duratec 20CV

[Horn Dog]

While I await the 440C version, my 20CV version came in. I got it from one of the internet knife sites at a reduced price private sale. This knife is another SOG winner. What a sleek, solid, beautiful design. I have big hands, and it fits well. This would be a great camp/utility knife. Reminds me of a tactical small chef knife. It would be great for meal preparation. The rather acute point would make it a good fighter, too.

Here it is with some similar size knives I own.

do you think that steels all its built up to be?

Nice looking knife!
It looks even better sitting beside that leather sheath.

Thanks for posting the pics!

Are any of them? I sharpened it yesterday. I have not used the knife. I can tell you two things about 20cv:

1. It is hard. Took several passes on the belt grinder with 180 grit to set the angle. Polished well with 15 micron. Finished with leather strop.

2. It will take a true razor-like edge. Scary sharp.
