made me these nice little knives. CPM-3V with a nice heat treat from BOS iirc. 
They work great. This is easily the sharpest knives a maker has ever sent me . I didn't even have to strop them.. much less put a stone to it. Edge geometry is insane.. these things are thinner behind the edge than my Bark Rivers but better since the edges aren't burnt from the grinder.. because he FINISHED THEM ON STONES. My camera wont even pick them up for a fuzzy shot because of it.
They aren't the prettiest knives in the world but that was his objective. He wants you to use them and use them I did.
I wasn't nice to these knives today at all. I swung with the intention of messing up that thin edge. It laughed at me. No chipping at all.. I think I got a roll maybe the size of pencil lead or smaller.. even so it cut paper afterwards.
The only thing was a small hotspot that caused a couple weird little blisters. Surprised me a little as my hands are super calloused from swingin hammers, turning wrenches, and general manual labor my entire life. 
That being said the handles are made if some crazy rubber I think he called ArmourX or something like that he recovered from a machine at his work, and it was in a weird spot between other calluses on my hand so it might've been the way I was holding the knife. No problem though Craig.. I've learned over the years blisters just give you nice new calluses to add to your collection anyway
.
In the future I would recommend maybe rounding off the edges of the handle scales a tad more than you already did into a more oval shape. That was the part making contact with my hand.
Overall they did the work I threw at em (very aggressively I might add). So I recommend the man's knives! You could do far worse for far more money in my experience of buying very expensive knives.
Thanks brand are working tools in appearance as well as performance and I'm happy to be one of your early adopters my man. Keep it up. I still want that 14" chopper as it would've made this job twice as easy. Nevertheless this little 7" blade handled it well.
Thanks brand is legit. Buy them with confidence my friends.
