T.L.E. Sharp said:
It doesn't get much attention since it's kind of old school in the super steel world, but I've said it before: if they made every knife henceforth from ZDP-189 I'd be ecstatic.

It can be a bit of a chore to sharpen and it's not stainless, but it holds an edge forever. I've been swapping back and forth between a Delica and Endura in ZDP for months now(save for a few days with a Bugout) and haven't had to resharpen either. Even with my picky standards.

I have a Stretch 2 in this steel and I have not really used it yet. Thanks for the inspiration to get out there and try it!

but I've really come to trust alot of people's knowledge and experience on here so I ask questions some may find silly ... but I'm old fashioned I prefer a handshake to a contract ... and I prefer hearing real life experience to charts and graphs and youtube cowboy videos ...

so I do appreciate everyones responses and they've given me alot to consider ...

finally joining BF after reading for a few years was a great step ... I've made some good friends and learned more in the few years than I knew in the 40 plus years on earth and I learn something new regularly.

Thanks again to everyone that shared their experiences - JJ

My friend, you must have watched a lot of John Wayne movies... (no offense; so have I).
The last time I counted on a handshake was in 1956 when I shook hands with a fellow running a pawnshop in Flint, Michigan. He said he'd save the stop-watch that I wanted...until the next day...as I had not enuf cash. Drove back 30 miles the next day and he had sold it. It taught me that not everyone wears a white hat. Yes, you can still find some good guys...many right here on the site...but they seem to be getting more rare.
As far as your "years on earth"...you're a lucky fellow to be so young. Noting that I was driving a car in 1956... Cheers, my friend... :)
 
It is a really well designed knife and comfortable to use ... and does alot of things well ... probably does better after 91bravo thinned it out ... I still have to do that to my new one ...

Well I agree it's rare these days sadly ... but there are still alot of good people out there ... especially in small town USA where I'm at ... a handshake still goes a long way here ...

A handshake goes a long ways down here too. It's like giving your word. Believe it or not, you can tell a lot about a person through their handshake.
 
Yes you can ... and it's good to hear a handshake is still good other places too ... I remember those lessons well ... what a handshake meant and being taught as a very young boy to give a firm handshake and honor it ...
